"So, how are things looking for the April 6 demonstration? Post here and let us know how the plans are going. How many people do you expect? "

For starters, we have more resources and financial support behind us than we did for the first one. Nadine Strossen, President of the ACLU, is going to speak during the demonstration (we'll have a real PA this time). We're working on getting Dr. Hartwig to speak, and Dr. Scarborough said he'd speak if no other faculty wanted to. Mostly though, we want the STUDENTS to speak out, but our mic is open to anyone.

As far as numbers, it's hard to say. Several of us are deploying to strategic location throughout Hattiesburg tomorrow to put out flyers on windshields, and anywhere else we can. We're having the sign-making at 7PM Monday at Javawerks, we'll have more of the "don't go away mad, just go away" stickers on Monday (I'll be printing them tomorrow), and we'll pick up the bumper stickers at noon Tuesday.

I guess I'm sorta slow on this one, but what is this slogan referring to specifically?

The only thing I can think of is a Motley Crue song. (I'm showing my age ) I think the basic meaning is to leave, not with hurt feelings, but LEAVE.

I've seen the sticker: it has the slogan with a circle-slash over Shelby's face.

Like Sarge, I can't begin to say how many people to anticipate at the protest, or who will choose to speak (besides folks who have already signed on to speak). The best way to find out will be to show up. I know I'll be there.

Wish I could be there...but I'm over 400 miles away. I'll be there in spirit! For those of you who can go, please post your reports from the front. If you email them to me at: truth@FireThames.com, I'll post them on my website www.FireThames.com.
