Rally Canceled

If you were planning to attend the Early Spin pro-troop rally tomorrow, it’s off. 

We will not be able to hold our protest the protesters protest this weekend.  It comes down to a permit issue and to be fair, I will tell you that’s it’s not an issue on the city of Milwaukee’s end, it’s on our end.  Most people that I have talked to at the city have been very helpful.

I still want to do this because I think it’s a great point to make.  What we need is a group that will get the permit and hold liability.  Funny that we want to support the troops and there will be so many of us that we need to have someone be liable, but if you only have 20 people, and they break windows and spread human feces around inside the building, no permit is required.

That’s a shame.  But in the larger sense, the greater shame is that a rally has been quelled because the government won’t issue a permit.  So much for free speech.
