John Ashcroft is coming to the War Memorial Center in downtown Milwaukee (that's 750 N. Lincoln Memorial Dr...near the Art Museum) on Thursday, Aug. 21 at 9am to talk to law enforcement officials about the Patriot Act(s). THIS CALLS FOR A PROTEST! Bring banners! Show up early! Bring friends! Spread the word!! Read more at Indymedia http://madison.indymedia.org/newswire/display/13758/index.php

Unfortunately, I can't be there. I hope to inspire a few extra people to go in my place and visit our own brand of free speech upon his soul.

3. try the LA Indy Media site

http://la.indymedia.org/

I got this info from the Madison Indy Media site. The LA site looks just as helpful and, if they don't already have news about Ashcroft coming there, they will eventually.

2. I'll be there!

Will try to take some pics too! A$$CRACK is not coming without a visible protest. Time to fire off some emails to gain support.

4. I'm trying to rearrange my schedule now

so I can be there. It'll do me good to get out there with a sign & protest that fascist!:thumbsup:

On edit: Hi, Bushfire! I didn't see you there until after I replied.:hi:

5. Hello AnnabelLee!

Hope you can make it. I'll be looking for you, but I might have a bandana and sunglasses on to cover up for the facial recognition technology. :hi: Never mind, they know who I am already.

6. Mike T. at the meeting last night

said Ashcroft cancelled his Milwaukee appearance.
Is it back on now?

[Bushfire]

7. Thanks for the headsup!

I sent an email to ask him if he has a print/web source.

8. Canceled per a couple sources

Dean campaign, and last Saturday's Journal/Sentinal.

9. It looks like there'll be no protest, then

:-(

Indymedia needs to update their site--If I hadn't heard about the cancellation here, I would have driven an hour & shown up at an empty protest site.

10. I think I get more news from DU

than I do from "real" sources...
