The Rochester Operation "Can You Hear Me Now" rallies and march, is starting at the WHEC-TV Studios on 191 East Avenue. The rally will start at 11am on Saturday, 10/17/2007. Here's the map for the rally point:
We're starting things off with the Presentation of the Colors, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and a few speeches.
We'll then proceed on our march that will follow this route through Downtown Rochester, across the Genesee River, ending at the Gannett Building, for a protest at our local newspaper, the Democrat and Chronicle:
BTW, we are conducting a peaceful, but spirited event and we have a permit from the City of Rochester and will be escorted by the Rochester Police Department for the entire event. I don't need to remind participants to be civil and mind their manners, but also to be loud!
Please, keep the focus on calling the media out for their slanted, leftist agenda and design your signs for this theme.
It's supposed to be a chilly day, with temperatures in the 40's and we all know how blustery Downtown Rochester can get, so wear a warm coat, hat and gloves. Bring a rain poncho, just in case we get showers!
I'll be looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday!

Great job - I pray all goes well for you - I hope to join the guys in Troy MI tomorrow
Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorius triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt
I’ll be at the Alamo in San Antonio that day.
Hope you have a successful event! Keep warm and dry....how I remember Rochester weather.
