Prostitutes join police convering on DNC Boston
Another great find from http://rawstory.com (Raw Story)

By Svea Herbst-Bayliss

BOSTON (Reuters) - Security officers won't be the only professionals coming to Boston in unprecedented numbers for the Democratic National Convention.

Practitioners of the world's oldest profession are seeking reinforcements to help service some of the 35,000 visitors -- plus untold numbers of police reinforcements -- expected in the coming week when Democrats name Sen. John Kerry their presidential candidate.

"Every convention brings in more people, and women fly in from all over the country to work it," said Robyn Few, a prostitute on probation who runs the Sex Workers Outreach Project, an advocacy group.

"There will be girls from California and from the South in Boston this week," she said. "I hope a lot of women make a lot of money and make a lot of men really happy."

4. If prostitutes were organized and had their own union and pac, we would
have seen Junior giving a speech in front of their organizers on CNN begging for their votes this past week. They're just going where the potential business is, not unlike KBR and Halliburton. I mean, a whore is a whore no matter if it's a corporate whore or an honest one that makes no bones about what they're selling. I have more respect for one that sells sex than the ones that sell death and cheating the American tax-payer.
