Shut It Down!
The nation and entire world will be watching NYC during the Republican National Convention. With that many eyes on us it is imperative New Yorkers send a loud message-- one that strongly challenges the current Administration’s policies and shows the Republican Party that we have had enough. Enough intolerance. Enough failed leadership. Enough false promises. And enough exploitation of our city for political gain.

1. Brilliant!
I absolutely love it. I can think of no more fitting protest than one that sends a message of "Do it yourself" to the entitled class. :toast:

2. Anything other than peaceful protests will hurt Dems and Kerry.

5. This sounds peaceful enough to me

In fact it's the definition of peaceful--you just disappear.

I love the idea of nobody there but the pugs.

On Edit: Woops, I forgot about the protesters...where are they going to eat? And now NYC is offering them discounts!
