I have personally confirmed with the "Special Events" Division of the LAPD that we will be able to exercise our First Amendment rights to peacefully assemble on the public sidewalks
near the NORTHEAST corner of Hollywood & Highland...
...just as we did LAST YEAR at the Academy Awards:

The BAD GUYS have a permit to march from Hollywood & Vine, past our corner, and then around the block - past Hollywood High School and the ARMY Recruitung Station - ending up in front of the Kodak Theatre, where they plan to hold THEIR "rally."
Their "parade permit" grants them FULL ACCESS to all of the streets - AND all of the sidewalks - during the parade.
So, we CANNOT assemble ANYWHERE along their "parade route" - DURING the march.
But, after the parade passes by, the LAPD will begin to re-open the streets to TRAFFIC...
...and re-open the sidewalks to US. :o)

See www.answerla.org:

Upcoming

This is going to be a VERY ugly year, isn't it? Are we witnessing the violent thrashings of a dying animal?

Thanks for getting out there. Peacefully confronting the anti-American left and publicly exposing them for what they are is of utmost importance to our winning this war. They are doing the work of our enemies on our soil. They must not be allowed to take to the streets unanswered.

If you live within a half-day's drive, please make the effort to join RonDog in L.A. on the 20th.

From Yahoo! MAPS:



"Ground Zero" for this event will be the intersection of Hollywood & Highland.
THEIR march will start on the far right side of this map - at Hollywood & Vine,
go "all the way around the barn" (as it were)
and end with a rally on the west side of that intersection.
And OUR rally will start on the east side of that intersection, after their "parade permit" expires.
I recommend that we PARK in the Galaxy Theater parking lot -
on Sycamore, between Hollywood and Franklin, just west of Highland.

See: Grant Parking at Galaxy
It is just WEST of the Kodak Theatre, and can be accessed from the NORTH side.

They only charge $5/day on the weekends - for SECURE, underground parking.
From there, we can walk one block NORTH on Sycamore,
and then turn LEFT and go down Franklin a few blocks to Highland.
As per our agreement with the LAPD, we then WAIT somewhere near the intersection of Franklin & Highland - until we get the "all clear" signal from the officers on scene.
Then, we move SOUTH - to set up on our FAVORITE FReeping corner:
the NORTHEAST corner of Hollywood & Highland.
The BAD GUYS will still be wandering around their circuitous parade route for AT LEAST an hour after the "all clear" signal - so we should be in place LONG before THEIR rally begins. :o)

And, thank you for the kind words, Warlord. :o)
The title of our rally, "DEFEND AMERICA!" is intended to convey precisely that message.

A good question.
Among others, certainly anyone who gives "aid and comfort" to our enemies...

America's Fifth Column Goes to Iraq
FrontPageMagazine.com ^ | 7/28/03 | Ben Johnson
Posted on 07/28/2003 3:45:16 AM PDT by DPB101

When the left failed to prevent the American military from entering Iraq, it turned from protest to sabotage of the liberation effort. Conducting illegal "direct actions"  to disrupt everyday life, so-called peace activists organized illegal demonstrations to shut down key financial districts and tie up homeland security forces. While some tried to close Oakland’s seaport, others stormed military bases and called on American troops to desert their posts en masse.

Now, as the Bush Administration attempts to consolidate its victory and restore order to a liberated Iraq the radical Left has stepped up its sabotage effort, this time inside Iraq itself.

For the first time since the abortive efforts of the "human shields" who volunteered to protect Saddam Hussein from American missile strikes, radicals are putting themselves on the battle line.

An organization calling itself the “International Occupation Watch Center” has set up shop in Baghdad with the express purpose of inciting U.S. troops to seek discharges and be sent home as conscientious objectors. It is inciting defection of troops at war by (technically) other means.

This latest assault on the American military  is designed to undermine the difficult task of securing the perimeter of the war on terror in the Middle East. Ba'athist guerrilla strikes claim roughly one American life a day. General John Abizaid recently classified this wave of warfare as “a classical guerrilla-type campaign” carried out by "either lookalikes or al-Qaeda."

As the difficulties in Iraq require American forces to stay a longer tour than expected, morale can become a serious problem -- a fact known both to the  terrorist enemy and to the Fifth Column "peace" left.

As Americans come under fire, Occupation Watch wants to deplete the number of Americans who will be shooting back.

Weakening the American military -- which is what the peace movement has generally intended -- encourages further terrorist resistance and killing. It puts American soldiers at greater risk , emboldens the enemy and -- if successful -- will shift the battlefield advantage to Saddam and al-Qaeda...
