| Protest the New York Times Revealing of U.S. Secrets, Monday, July 10, 5 p.m. We have a sound permit, and we will be across the street from the New York Times. They are at 229 West 43rd Street. The groups on board so far are Free Republic, Caucus for America, the Congress for Racial Equality, and Protest Warrior, NYC Chapter. We have reached out to several other groups as well, and are waiting to hear back from them. Some high-visibility media people are interested in speaking at the protest. More information will be coming on this as we gather groups and speakers. So hold the date! If you have been as sick about the Times's unconscionable blabbing of our classified information as the rest of those who care about the nation, now is your chance to do something to make your outrage heard. It's damn sure I'll be there! |

| #3 I can't go, but I sent an e-mail of protest. The response demanded address from which the note was sent, home address, work and home phone numbers before it would be considered for publication. Imagine the consternation if the security precautions of my neighborhood were made a photo essay in the NYTs as a result -- which was my response. How long ago would dear, dear Pinch have been on the street if the paper weren't a family business? |

| #2 Going after members of Congress and demanding the prosecution of these acts - bothe the leakers and the publishers, with every means at your disposal - especially letting them know your financial support is in the balance, would be far more effective. |

| #1 I can't be there, but I did my part by cancelling my 'scrip to my local rag which is owned by the NYT - making sure they know exactly why I'm doing it. I never read the paper (except funnies), but it will cost me quite a bit in lost grocery coupons. |
