Apparently along with the fundraiser, Barry Soetoro aka BO will be making a "public appearance" as well.

Ya, not sure where it will be held yet but I should know soon...

From the AP:

"Details of the trip have yet to be firmed up, but it will include a fundraiser and a public appearance somewhere in the Seattle area. Murray said the visit will allow her to talk with the president about the cleanup of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, aerospace and Boeing, and the state's high tech and green energy sectors."

I've updated the meetup with new intelligence. Keith I suggest you post a contact phone number so folks can coordinate actions with you. Have fun, Let's get some questions asked. How about the airport, can we get press passes into there?

somebody call into alex jones on monday and let everyone know about this protest! anyone here been putting up the infowars water posters? if so lets talk.

How do we get press passes?

I've got a bunch of DVD's and handouts. Speak up if you want some.

I will take some dvd's and handouts!

most of the time you can't get press passes unless you are an accredited reporter (corporate, mainstream media). You can always try though. I should have some info about press availability on monday.

I understand your anger, but the corporate media will make us all look like Tea baggers. The cops will go ape shit over any protests around the President. Stay the hell away. Join attend you local Democratic Party Legislative District meeting with our protest signs and sit in on the meetings. Dick

What did Thomas Jefferson say "Dissent is the highest form of Patriotism". The corporate media will have a camera in their face, should they attempt to demonize, we will call their bluff & post the truth to the masses. Do not fear, do not fret, for when the time comes to speak up and speak out, we cannot let the establishment trample all over our God given rights and inherent humanities, that they would so want to eviscerate. So DO NOT stay away, but stand firm & resolute against the tyranny.

Chris, You do not understand that there are death squads in the good old US of A. Read my chapter on mysterious deaths see: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SomeUnknownUSHistory/messag...

Dick, what makes you think that? I know how tyrannical and oppressive these thugs are.

I have a few questions... Where is everyone who's planning on coming planning on parking and how early and what the overall plan on getting as close as you can to let OB know what we think? And what's the organizational plan, is everyone going to be scattered or keep together as a group? Thanks!

Good questions Diane. Would anyone like to work on an organized plan? We could meet up on mumble or in person. Anyone else interested?

I can only recommend that you guys would meet ahead of time to strategize. You can then coordinate your actions in some ways. Siskos idea is also great, mumble is a good platform. Diane, Sisko or Keith, somebody coordinate a plan. I'll both you guys as event organizers so you can use the meetup event.

Also, someone please contact Jennifer as she would like some company and needs a ride from SnoHomish i believe.

what's mumble? I guess we could all meet at a coffee shop or something and go over ideas a couple hours before showtime. Parking downtown gets expensive and annoying.. anybody have any ideas about getting there? There is parking garages closer to the waterfront that's realistically priced and always has open spaces, but it'd be a long walk to get to the Westin.

looks like at the Public Market Parking Garage on 1531 Western Ave. is right behind the Pike Place Market and charges # 0 - 1 hour: $4.00
# 1 - 2 hours: $8.00
# 2 - 3 hours: $12.00
# 3 - 4 hours: $14.00
# 4 - 10 hours: $15.00
# 10 - 24 hours: $20.00
and the walk may take some time, but doable, so getting there early, around 9-9:30 would be good and maybe we can all meet at a coffee shop a couple blocks from the Westin...

if anyone would be available to give me a ride back to tacoma, let me know. i'm having car troubles, but i have a ride there... getting back is another issue. either way i'm not missin this for the world, but i'd love a ride home, if possible.

gota work till 12:30pm so i will be late for the westin protest, but i recommend surrounding the hotel with people with signs and dvd/flyer handouts. There is 2 hour parking in cap hill and lower queen which are not too far from the westin, you could take a bus or walk over. I am going to just walk over there after work at 12:30 so i hope something will still be going on. I will try and protest the second location which is still tba.

pretty busy working so I prob can't meet up before the event but i walked by the westin today and it looks like the best spot will be at 6th and stewart and westlake, where they all intersect. There is a little park/island there where we could set up some signs and other stuff. There are two little park/islands so we can split up for full effect. I think it would be best, for people who can, to meetup in that area around 11am

Here is a link to the area i am talking about (only works in firefox):

one island at 5th and stewart and westlake, other island at 6th and stewart and westlake. Those are the spot i will head to after i get off work at 12:30

Looks like you guys will get a chance to wake up the "immigrants": http://www.seattleactivism.org/events/event6984.htm and http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=109512799102583&...

I added our event to the Seattle Activism Page as well, and put you as contact Keith. Have a great time everyone, look forward to seeing the videos. If anyone takes video, please contact me, and will try to compile together. Peace, Chris

can somebody give me a call and let me know where we are meeting in the morning? # is 253 310 2723. and any suggestions on parking would be much appreciated.

I got a bunch of DVD's and handouts. will be at the meetup place at 11 am. I definitely need help since I will also have my video camera.

Good turnout and even better info spread today! I made a short video of Keith and I dropping info-bombs after the Lake Washington event. We had a great convo with some random guy afterward, it reminded me that people really do care, no matter how much propaganda is out there.

Great job everyone, you woke up a lot of minds today! Anyone has video footage just drop me a message and we'll coordinate.

passed out a ton of Obama Deception (got from another We are Changer) and Fall of the Republic, INvisible Empire and a bunch of 9-11 cards, dvd's and gave a bunch of 911 handouts to people just bringing awareness to 911. Thanks to Sisko for the DVD's, handouts, cards and magazines. Gave out all 4 and spread them amoung other changers and other like minded people to also give out. The left over dvd's, handouts and zines I have will be given out at the Anarchist Book Fair at the Vera project.
