This Friday, June 27th, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton will make their first joint campaign appearance to demonstrate to the nation that the Democratic party is united. The event will take place in none other than Unity, New Hampshire.
We all know that this show of unity is a sham, but Obama wants to flood this small town of 1500 with 2500 of his supporters to create a staged impression of overwhelming Democratic party togetherness. His campaign wants to sell the American people a big lie by staging a fiction worthy of Hollywood.
It can't happen, if we "Just Say No Deal"!
Please come to New Hampshire to let the American people know the reality, that millions of Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama in November should he be the nominee, and no amount of staged "Unity" rallies will change that fact.
****** Update ********** 6/26/2008 2:33 PM EST
You do not need a ticket to get into the event. You only need a ticket to ride the shuttle.
It has been reported that there are no more Shuttle tickets being given out. If you haven't gotten a ticket, do not let that stop you from coming. We will make sure you get to the event. The tickets are nothing more than print-outs and it is stated that the shuttle is first come first serve.
****** Update ********** 6/26/2008 2:19 PM EST
A fellow protester scouted out the location yesterday, and talked to the sheriff. You DO NOT need a ticket to enter the event, but you do need a ticket to take the Obama shuttle. For people who want to attend the event, but not take the shuttle, or for people who want to protest outside the event with signs(They are not allowed on the shuttle or in the event) the following information is important for you.
The police are going to shut down the road the Elementary school is on at 10:00AM. No one will be permitted to drive to the event after that time, so if we are going to shuttle people over to the event ourselves we will need to do it before 10:00AM. It is for this reason that we have changed the end time for the rendez-vous.
Therefore, we urge anyone interested in doing this to be at the rendez-vous location designated below before 9:00AM EST preferably by 8:00AM EST.
****** Update ********** 6/26/2008 8:00 AM EST
We have decided on a place to meet before the Unity Rally.
It is a
Rest Area on Interstate 91 in Vermont between exits 6 and 7 on the east side, rougly between the towns of Rockingham and Springfield.
We will arrive at 8:00AM EST, and stay until 9:00AM EST ****Note***** the time to leave the rendez-vous has been changed, because of new information. See above.
when we will head over to Claremont to catch a shuttle bus to the "Unity" event, or take some other mode of transport to the location.
***Note from the update above. Please try to make it to the rendez-vous before 9:00AM. The sheriff is shutting down the road to the elementary school at 10:00AM, so anyone wanting to be dropped off there instead of taking the shuttle will have to leave the rendez-vous point by 9:00AM***
A lot of people have different motivations for protesting this event, and many people have different ideas about what they want to do. We propose meeting at the above location and time, so that we can discuss these things as a group and come up with a unified plan of action, or at the minimum an understanding of where other people are coming from. This is not a well defined top-down operation. PUMA has been a very organically emergent phenonmenon based, for a lot of us, on the Anti-Democratic actions of the DNC. We want to keep the Democracy in the Democratic party, so it is in that spirit that we want to have a PUMA rally for Democracy before the artificially staged so-called "Unity" event.
-
Bring your signs.
-
We will have some food there, but you are welcome to bring more.
- Below the maps on this page are intructions on obtaining a ticket for the shuttle. Unfortunately, it requires giving your information to the Obama campaign.
-
If you have any questions,
-
Most importantly, bring yourselves
We look forward to seeing you there!
Go PUMA!
****************Important*****************************
The people organizing this meeting do not support physical violence in any way. We are dedicated to making our voices heard in a totally non-violent manner.
****************Important*****************************
Here are the direction to the site.
Coming From the North:
-
Travel South on Interstate 91 in Vermont.
-
After Passing Exit 7 to Springfield, you will see a Rest Area.
-
I am not sure if you will be able to exit to the east side. Somehow you must get on the other side of the road. If there is not an overpass, you may have to take the next exit, exit 6, turn around, and come back North to exit the Rest Area on the east side.
-
Look for the large sign depicting a PUMA head.
