   I just hope that make that Taunia girl an anchor. She’s the best reason to watch 62!

   The enthusiasm for the protest at channel 62 is enormous which is requiring careful & strategic planning. We’ve gotten a bus & driver donated to us so we’re going to meet at the SW corner of Rainbow Blvd and Southwest Blvd at 4pm on Wednesday, October 20th. The bus will leave promptly at 4:10pm so if you cannot make it there by then, please drive yourselves directly to KSMO. HOWEVER, there will be limited parking available there so drive the largest vehicle you have access to and carpool wherever possible. Powell Avenue is a city street and runs parallel to I-35, directly in front of KSMO. PARK LEGALLY, observing common sense, no parking, and no trespassing signs. The quickest way for KSMO to disperse this crowd is to have the cops start towing people because they’re blocking traffic. DO NOT PARK IN THE CHANNEL 62 PARKING LOT.

   If you are driving yourselves and will be headed northbound on I-35, the Cambridge Cir exit is closed, due to construction. Alternate directions are to exit at Rainbow and turn right (south). Go to first light, which is Southwest Blvd and turn left (east). Go about a mile, just past 31st and turn left (north) on Genesee. Genesee curves around across the railroad tracks and under I-35 then intersects with Powell Ave. at KSMO. None of the mapping websites I looked at reflected this closure so be sure to keep this email. If you will be headed southbound on I-35, no need to take an alternate route - Cambridge Cir is open in that direction.

   Other important information:

   What to bring: No Kerry Campaign placards or signs. While most of us are Kerry supporters, and if asked by the media who will cover this who we support, we should tell them we support Kerry, it will be more effective if we don’t have Kerry signs or Kerry gear. This issue transcends this election. We also want to make sure we aren’t any kind of a negative issue to the Kerry campaign. Remember, this is a grassroots effort not affiliated with or endorsed by the Kerry campaign.

   Make signs. We made a number of signs yesterday but it’s looking like we could have several dozen or even a hundred people at this protest so if you can make some extra signs, all the better. Some ideas (but feel free to be creative!):

   “Sinclair supports Censorship”
   “Sinclair = Republican Propaganda”

   “Sinclair = BushCo”
   “Boycott Sinclair Advertisers”
   “Shame on Sinclair for Censoring Nightline Soldier Memorial” (Refers to Sinclair’s censorship of Nightline this past April when Nightline read the names of American soldiers killed in Iraq: Sinclair forced its affiliates not to carry this memorial).
   You may want to consider themes about George W. Bush whom Sinclair is supporting for President.
   “Bush = Chickenhawk”
   “’W’ Stands for ‘AWOL’”
   “Bush Partied While POWs Took His Place in Vietnam” “Where Was George?”

   We have speakers from the Vets for Kerry organization but we need a bull horn if anyone has access to one, please bring it.

   Be Peaceful but Outspoken. We want a peaceful event, but that doesn’t mean that we need to be timid. We will have chants and speeches. We will have our signs of course. And we will use the publicity to complain about Sinclair’s heavy-handedness, its censorship, its propaganda, its pro-Bush bias, its lies and distortions in behalf of Bush.

   Picketing begins on Wednesday but we plan to be there each and every day until KSMO either pulls this piece or makes a legitimate offer of equal time. We won’t have the bus every day so stay tuned for more details.

   There is going to be a protest at your station october 20th at 5 p.m. Against Sinclair and Bush.
