At the University of Minnesota today and tomorrow, the Coalition to March on the RNC and Stop the War is hosting a conference to discuss how they will organize their protests during the Republican National Convention.

The conference will provide progressives an opportunity to give 'input on the planning for the rally and march, lay the basis for all of us to work together on the practical preparations for September 1, and help to coordinate the publicity for this history-making event.'

What a waste of time. Think of all these groups could get accomplished if they took the time they spent organizing in order to organize a protest, and actually got involved in the political process.

Will have more on this later and will report on how many were there and what was actually discussed.
