[SfN] Large Caravan going to protest debates in St. Louis on Tuesday

[John Paul Schmit]

Hello everyone,
 Last night I talked to Dan J-W, the Nader campaign rep in Chicago. He
informed me that they are organizing a caravan/mobile campaign rally
which will travel through Illinois on the way to protest Nader's
exclusion from the debates on Tuesday in St. Louis. He is hoping that
everyone from C-U who is planning to go to St. Louis will join in and he
also hopes to get television coverage for the trip.

The schedule for Tuesday is as follows:

8am -  Rally in Chicago
8:30 - Caravan sets out
11:30 - Arrrive in Champaign
12:00 Rally in Champaign
12:30 Leave Chanpaign
2:00 Arrive in Springfield (I think there will be a rally here too.)
5:00 Arrive in St. Louis
7:00 big protest in St. Louis
Anyone who can't make the trip to St. Louis in encouraged to attend the
noon rally here.


So, that is the plan right now.
What he needs from us is a location for the Rally in Champaign and the
press needs to be alerted. I know people were already planning to go
down to St. Louis. Do you have any ideas where the rally can be here?
We don't have much time to plan this, so if you have ideas speak up now.

John Paul
