"Hope I can make this work."

I hope you can too. This thread is hilarious. I just hope no dummies catch on. But then again, that could be fun too.

That's BS, it's just an excuse to do nothing. Maybe most of these people don't have jobs or such, but are attending to have their voices heard, while we hide behind our excuses, and then wonder why we lost. Sitting here, talking tough to like minded people, doing nothing. You admire the one or two who stands a watch, protesting the protesters, yet go right back to telling everyone how superior we are because we have a life. Tell me, what kind of life will you or your kids have when Kerry is elected, will the topic be how much your taxes have gone up, your kids education worse because the NEA is getting all the money, and the great unwashed given more because they did take to the streets. We are the "silent majority', we will sit there as our country is destroyed, bitching about it here. Our sons and daughters are fighting for another peoples freedom, the least we can do is give them a country to come back to. one where they won't be spit on, that will happen if the left wins. Take back the streets, the towns, and the country. And don't give out the crap that we have the guns, most will not want to make waves, and give them up. Don't let the rage you feel be diluted by talking about what the other side is doing, talk about what we're doing. Semper Fim always faithful to God and Corps, but starting to wonder about the country.

I guess that I could - out of the kindness of my heart - offer my back porch down here in Newport News, Virginia ….
It might be difficult for them to make it to the protests, but -

I visited there also. I can't believe how stoopid folks can be to list their phone numbers and private email addresses (not throw-away, but real ones) at that website.

They shouldn't be surprised if their emails fill up with who knows what garbage. And won't they just love to get wacked-out phone calls day and night.

Unbelievably dumb. They must think this is their own little world where nobody else can see. LOL!!!

Speak for yourself. When juggling such expenses and obligations, taking time off work and making appreciable monetary outlays is not always an option to those of us who are genuine contributors to society.

Housing Working Group - reaching out to religious spaces to open as many doors as possible to out of town activists. They need your help.

* FAITH SPACES:

Make an introduction.

Are you a member of a congregation that you think would or should host protesters during the convention? We are doing a lot of cold calling and outreach, but if you can let us know who to talk to in your congregation or (even better) can reach out to them yourself and be our liason to your congregation, that would be a huge contribution to our efforts. If you have some more energy get in touch with the working group and we'll put you to work.

While we would never be able to get by with that, it sure seems to be working for them...

I STILL am trying to figure out how these people pay for food, travel, etc. Looking at the protest groups is looking at the real face of the democrat party. welfare "rights" groups, communists, druggies, parasites, sexual freaks. Yup, the best thing for the republicans is for these people to be loud, violent, and TELEVISED! I wan't the american people to see what sub-humans leftists are like, and what Kerry supports

Here's a trusting soul:

"Small one-bedroom apartment available during the week of the RNC. I will be leaving town on Sunday or Monday for the remainder of the week, so the place will be yours when I leave, and before that you can stay in the living room. It would be good for a couple or a small (2-3) group of friends. The main thing will be that I have to trust the person, since I will be leaving them with all my worldly possessions, which are not that many, but still."

Knowing the mindset of most of these critters, I think the guy should expect that a few of his personal belongings will get 'liberated'. For the cause you know.

:"This Is Our Community. Clean Up After Your Dog. Prevent Fascism..."

What if your dog is a fascist? Terry McAullife's dog talks to him and I'm pretty sure that's where Bubba's bag man gets his fascist ideas.

The really embarassing part is that when they argue, the dog wins...

If I may offer a dissenting word...
I bet the sleeping accomidations for these travelers will work out well, with very few cases of theft from the hosts, or rude guests overstaying their welcome or such. It's simply no problem for hippies to shack up in a sleeping bag for the weekend. It's one of the things they do best.
And the young lad who is willing to sleep in doghouse, porch or backyard...this guy is traveling like a Navy SEAL, completely focused on getting the job done and willing to suffer whatever discomfort necessary to do so.
Let's not forget that about 45% of the country thinks the election was stolen. They may not like Kerry, or even think he's suitable for the job, but they are willing to do anything to get Bush out.
That said, someone needs to drop a dime on the pastor who has violated his church's tax-free status with the IRS. And about 40 other people need to offer imaginary accomidations to these protestors. Let 'em scramble to find a warm place to stash their stuff at the last minute. :)

heres one I found

Sister & older dog rent 1bdrm apt; 1 couch, 1 mattress & floor space for wimmin, children & friendly dogs. Enough grass for pooch poo, free parking.
Child-proof status: breakables & house cleansers put away, but lots to carry & climb, & close to road - so of course, watch & pick up after the little ones.
Mandatory bug check - no offense, i've just gotten them too many times, ew. ROTFLMAO!
