Anyone interested in protesting at Brownback's OP office?

Rove counting heads (& twisting arms) on the Senate Judiciary Committee

Since Sen. Brownback is on that committee, does anyone else think a
demonstration is in order? Say, a few of us meeting outside his
Overland Park office protesting the influence Karl Rove is having into
a Senate investigation? One DUer noted that this could be illegal given
that this is an investigation after all.

Sen. Sam Brownback office in Overland Park:

11111 W. 95th St, Suite 245
Overland Park
913/492-6378

Other Kansas offices for Kansas DUers across the state who might also
be interested in reminding Brownback that his duty is to the
Constitution and not to Karl:

Garden City Office
811 N. Main St., Suite A
620/275-1124

Pittsburg Office
1001-C N. Broadway
620/231-6040

Topeka Office
612 S Kansas Ave.
785/233-2503

Wichita Office
245 N. Waco, Suite 240
316/264-8066

I suppose some of the details we would need to address might be:
1) Do we have enough time? How long is the Senate hearing expected to
last?
2) How soon could we put this all together?
3) What day and time would be best for this and how long should we
meet?

I am concerned that that smarmy, sleazy rat-bastard Karl is attempting
to influence the investigation by threatening/blackmailing GOP members
of the committee, and with Brownback contemplating a White House run in
'08, he just might give in to Karl's demands in order to stay on
good terms with the Kansas GOP.

I'm interested, as long as it's not a workday.

We had talked about a Sunday.

[Patrice]

Me too.

I want to carry my own sign (Jesus is still here and WE are still killing
him.) - Okay?

Not during the workday.

That's perfect for Brownback.

Pam Gerould would like to participate in this protest at Brownbacks office.   Sunday would be good for her.  She is not online, but is a member of DFA.  Her number is 913-579-5276

 

She has flyers made up already with information on Brownback, and your message can be added to it.

Sunday is good for me.

When is the next justice Sunday?

[PShea...@aol.com]

Watching all the action on the ground take form outside the GKCDFA committee structure, I would say, we have a set of real grassroots leaders here. Maybe we need an Action Committee!

 

Olivia, if you have not signed up for the GKCDFA Google group yet, maybe you should. I think you would fit into this action very well. And it is on your side of State Line.

I don't know. Google national Evangelical groups. I've seen them with
Justice Sunday Features.

I can't find any upcoming dates. I will keep looking. Maybe someone
over on DU knows when the next one is scheduled.

[Patrice]

Is anyone else going to decide when to do this? I would like to hear
anyone's suggestions for when we might do this sort of thing. We can be
very polite, of course. We'll smile and wave at traffic. There were a few
people interested; I *think* Sunday was the best day for a couple of people,
but I don't know about others. I could handle Sundays, once a month, twice?

The THIRD anniversary of the Invasion of Iraq approaches, March 19.

Rant warning:
It would be a good time to make a statement (for Brownback or at Nichols
Fountain on the Plaza) about Real Pro-Life Values (anti-Abortion,
anti-Capital Punishment, anti-War, anti-Racism and Prejudice) Family Values.
As long as political War and Fascisto-Religious, Domestic social-economic
Class wars are the Business, the bread-and-butter of America, PNAC-ian
Patriotic Wars (Iran?, by proxy of course . . . ) sold in our Church lobbies
. . . . (what kind of churches are these?), in such, abortion is a sacrament
in a Society that makes a living off of DEATH, a Commodity - the War God's -
Un-Necessary! - Death and Destruction, ANY-where on Earth. Horrible PNAC
Forever War! Horrible!

End of rant.

Later.

Project Straight Gate is a national group that has been picketing churches
for 5+ YEARS - http://www.whtt.org/index.php?news=2&id=122

Also: http://www.whtt.org/whtt.shtml?articles/UCIGrace.htm

http://www.apfn.net/Messageboard/06-17-04/discussion.cgi.62.html

Just some background on this sort of thing. I think signs with Religious
commentary would be appropriate for Brownback.

Later.

[Patrice]

I forgot to tell you the Project Straight Gate follows Non-violence (Ghandi,
MLK) demonstrations, very polite, but pointed, events, with current Social
relevance.

It has to be an evening or weekend for me. I don't live in Kansas, but
I'll do it.
