I have bad news. Our permit for the area requested was denied. This is what the report said:
Permit is denied based upon sec. 18-104(2) because of the existence of a prior application for the same time and place.
I submitted this application on 04/20/2007, and this response is dated 05/01/2007.
I will be returning to New London on Friday to scout new locations.

Good for you. I did not need a permit for a very few people...or I don’t think so. Small town and not a previous problem. They were just delighted to hear we wanted to thank them. How would the town even know?
I hope you will ask who it was issued to and when the other permit was dated.
Seems weird they will be doing a counter move...as we do.
Just realized you may be planning a different event.
Dumb me to think my recruiter’s event is all that is going on with GOE?
In Ct, no, we have the Recruiter appreciation day, memorial day parade in Hebron, also.
I am working on a new location for May 23.
Sorry to see the bad news, I wonder who could have a prior application? Good luck on a new location.
answer does, they have been promoting this longer than us.
Hey!! Tell the “powers that be” that this is a “MUZZIE” organization.....they’ll be crapping all over themselves to “accomidate”.
Usually, when ANSWER gets a permit, other lefty groups get permits for surrounding areas (Such as World Can’t Wait, Code Pink, and United for Peace and Justice). Therefore, they make it inpossible for a counterprotest to spring up.
You did your best. We salute your efforts. There will be other days and other occasions where you will have better access.
DON'T GIVE UP!!.
And NOT that I have to tell you, but more of encouragement, get a permit as close as you can, where cars see you first before driving by the idiots.
And appropriate signs such as "Traitors Ahead" will help.

Thanks for the info and I hope EVERY event is safe and SUCCESSFUL!
I miss seeing you around DC...I only get there for the summer now.
new permits have been applied for in New London with 3 locations in mind. Please stay tuned, this fight is not over yet.
Admin, please update headline to announce new permits have been submitted
Thanks!
I had some unexpected help this morning, starting with a surprise phone call and a 30 minute meeting with interesting facts presented that are extremely helpful to our event! :)
By the way, on another note, the Police agree with my proposals for event locations.
:)
The police called me this morning and asked me to come down to discuss locations.
The told me of 3 separate areas
One area is directly across from the ANSWER spot. That is directly across from the main gate
Area 2 is directly in front of the highway exit: when going south on 32 and taking the Coast Guard Academy exit, you take the right hand exit and almost do a u-turn on the exit, and and up on Willliams Street. Right in front of the exit, on the west side of the highway bridge, on the north side of Williams Street, there is a large grassy area where all cars will see you that are coming to the graduation.
The Third area will be at the corner where ALL family buses will turn to enterthe academy, Rte 32 and Deshon Ave. NOTE: Buses will NOT be entering at the main gate! They will be entering at Deshon ave, and that is the 3rd location we asked for.
While our original location would have appeared to be more visible, these 3 new locations will give us 2 direct views of families and the media. Locations 1 and 2 will make us visible to the main public and all families driving through the main gate to enter the academy.
Location 3 is not so widely known, and is the Academy approved entrance for family buses for graduation. If we get media at that location, it will be us greeting the families as they drive in, something the answer people wont be able to do there.
Our initial rally point, in my guess, should be the highway exit, so we can disperse people to the 3 areas. The area in front of the academy might not be allowed, there is no sidewalk, no crosswalk, no normal pedestrian entrance at all, but it is directly across from the main gate and ANSWER.
By the way, the Police told me that ANSWER had requested, and since they beat us, got the whole sidewalk in front of the academy, so, we are out of luck since we are responding to them, not initiating.
Hooray!
Hope it is very successful.
Keep up the good work Race.

Thanks.
Looks like you have made some headway. I do hope a spot can be found where you folks can be most effective in displaying the patriotic fair these men and women and their families well deserve.
