I apologize if this has been posted previously, but I couldn't find it when I searched. It's been quite a while since I posted, but I thought of the board as soon as this occurred. First chance to post it up.
I received the following email from the NOVA Tea Party about a last minute protest at an Obama appearance in Fairfax.
I sent the following response to their organizer:
So far no response.
I received the following email from the NOVA Tea Party about a last minute protest at an Obama appearance in Fairfax.
Dear Tea Party Patriot,
I just received word that President Obama will be speaking at a private home in Fairfax, Virginia some time between 1pm and 3pm today.
What: Demonstration Against New Stimulus and Debt.
Where: On the median right of way at Rt. 50 and Chichester Lane, in Fairfax.
The location is roughly between Nutley Street and Prosperity Avenue
Backup location right of way on the North Side of Rt. 50
Parking: Park in on-street parking in the streets north of Rt. 50.
When: 1p to 3pm (we leave as soon as the motorcade has passed.)
Thanks, your participation will give voice to our movement's opposition to the reckless spending and borrowing of the Obama Administration.

"No open or concealed carry please."
Since it's Virginia and in a public area, carrying would be completely legal as long as it's outside the secret service perimeter.
I'm unable to attend since I'm at work at the moment, but had I received this notice when I was available, I still would not attend. I don't give up my Second Amendment right so I can express my First Amendment right and I'm shocked you would make this request.
So far no response.
