A campaign is under way on the Internet (www.rncnotwelcome.org) to encourage Broadway performers to boycott the Republican National Convention in New York.

In particular, campaign organizers are asking performers to call in sick for tomorrow's shows. The Republican National Committee has bought up blocks of tickets for Sunday shows, including "42nd Street" and "Wonderful Town." However, "Wonderful Town" star Donna Murphy says even though she's a Democrat, she and her cast are planning to go on with their show.

2. LauraK..when I read this...I'm about to "flip flop".....I thought....hmmmm

we should all be using that phrase...make it a running joke among democrats...Every day...we should try to use "I flip flopped" in some way....Kerry should do that too....humor takes away any sting.
