LAST-MINUTE Demonstration in Annapolis Friday morning!

From Jessica Sharp:

The National Speakers Conference, put on for Speakers of the House and
funded by a half-million dollars of corporate money, will be held at the
Annapolis Westin this week, including a Friday session called "Election
2010 and the Angry Voters: Who is Going to Pay?"

We plan on showing up on their doorstep to spread the message that no
legislator needs to spend time and millions of corporate dollars hiring
consultants to tell them why voters are angry when they could just walk
outside and ask us themselves! We want to be represented by legislators
who are concerned about us, not corporate shills who act like lapdogs to
their Wall Street puppet masters! Voters aren't petri dishes that need
to be studied, we're just PEOPLE who need to be listened to!

We plan on meeting outside the main entrance of the hotel at 10 AM.
There is parking in the underground hotel lot. Please bring posters,
etc! The more signage, the better. If the Westin staff forces us to
leave, we will re-locate to the grass inside Westgate Circle. Map:

Moms -- this will be baby- and toddler-friendly. A lot of strollers
will make a statement! In fact, we (my other friends bringing strollers
and I) will probably turn it into a mass playdate following the
demonstration. Protest, then ice cream and looking at boats, oh yeah! :)

Please invite any media contacts you may have!

Hope you can make it!
