Excellent, they just added one close to me today. Literally 15 minutes away. Now if only I can crawl out of bed early enough, as its from 11 am till 2 pm and thats when Im normally asleep.
And another interesting remark...
Yale does not have an overpass according to Mapquest. It's just a small side street that doesn't get near the freeway. I'll do more homework and hope I'm feeling up to it. I'm ready to do my small part, once again, but the directions make no sense. Thank you for all your travels regarding this invasion.
And this enthusiastic supporter...
I feel your pain. Im in Lawrence Kansas which is known as Berkley of the Midwest. It really isnt as bad as Berkley, but it aint nothing like the rest of Kansas. Anyway, what good will it do for me and my family to stand on an overpass by ourselves? Without serious organization, there wont be anyone else there.
And the message from the event organizers website...
"Attention Patriots, There is a rumor circulating from our opposition that our National Protest has been postponed. This is simply not true."
