Friday protest and town hall

Important to get as much attendance as possible for our protest at Bishop's office on Friday, Aug 14th, 12-1 PM.

After talking to Police Dept, I need to tell everyone to stay off the streets; we must stay on the sidewalk with at least 2 ft between people. This could be good for spreading us out for a number of blocks and creating a larger presence.

Town hall: Aug 19th, 8:30-10:30 AM at National Infantry Museum, 3800 S. Lumpkin Rd.

It is apparently now open to the public. All members attending: we will not carry any signs or do any protest. Goal is to attend the town hall in the auditorium and ask questions. Discussed this with PD. S. Lumpkin is city-controlled. Parking lot and main museum building is private property with property directly adjoining still part of military reservation. As the media will probably be covering this, our best image is to be polite, but ask really good questions directed at Cong. Bishop. Signs will not be allowed inside most certainly, and the Tea Party will not seek any permit to protest. As long as we can attend and question, that will be our goal.

We will also be seeking another permit to protest for Aug 28th.
