ALERT: Location change for Conyers Columbus hearing (GOP obstruction)

Received via email:

"Location change -- Columbus City Council chambers -- apparently Republican leaders in Ohio got word of the meeting and denied the request for a room. So much for an open democracy. We'll have this on the steps if we have to. Columbus City Hall, Columbus City Council Chambers, 90 West Broad Street, Columbus, OH."

18. Actually "Communism" was a convenient cover for TOTALITARIAN DICTATORSHIP.

Something for people to hang their hat on...

Both Soviet and Chinese style used the ideology of "communism" as a counter of the religion and capitalism that has ruled the "western liberal democracies".

front page in at least the Ohio papers.

23. Hubris always blows. But yeah, put out the word to all

your networks, all your outlets.

In a way, the more visible the better. Here's where they start overplaying their hand.

19. Hey, Maybe They Should Find Out How Much It Would Be

To Rent out that restaurant the Greens were arrested in, (the building Blackwell's office is in) to host the event.

How would that be for poetic justice!

28. There are many places that could be used.

Veteran's Memorial, COSI, the Convention Center, about a dozen conference rooms in local hotels, etc. Council chambers is a good alternative. It looks bigger than the room used in senate building in DC.
