Update: The starting time has been moved back to 2 PM. Be sure to adjust your calendars accordingly.
May Day is upon us, and this year we can once again look forward to the spectacle of thousands of people who were not invited here, don’t belong here, and certainly contribute nothing of value to our society, demanding their “rights.” And by “rights,” I mean wealth extracted from taxpaying, American citizens and transferred to a resentful, greedy consortium of Marxists and officially sanctioned ethnic grievance organizations.
The good news is that this year, unlike in the past, New York Ice will be able to combat the gaseous Zapatistas, the Salvadorian Communists, the Mexican death cultists, and stupid-looking hipsters with a Guevara fetish. With what? A MEGAPHONE! Yes, after many months of stonewalling, the NYPD has deigned to grant us a sound permit, which means our voices will be heard loud and clear by the throngs assembled in Union Square.
I highly suggest you come down and make yours heard. Here are the specs:
WHAT: NY ICE’s annual counter protest of the illegals’ demand for amnesty on May 1st
WHEN: May 1st, 2011 (a SUNDAY) at 2pm
WHERE: 14th Street and Union Square East in Manhattan, in front of Phillips Ambulatory Care Center (which is part of Beth Israel)
BRING: Sound amplifiers, including megaphones if you have them! Bring signs that are simple and in BLOCK letters, which are easy to read from afar. ”NO AMNESTY” is a good standby, for example. Bring prepared sound bites for the Press. And, they will try, as usual, to mislabel us as “racists”, and we know that “illegal is NOT a race“.
NOTE: Without us counter protesting, the ONLY visible opinion is the other side’s, and that is the only side the Press can possibly report on and the public can see.
Will be there! I’m thinking about buying some air horns. I’m sure they won’t be allowed though
I wouldn’t be so sure. We have a sound permit this year.
Anyone gonna speak spanich to these illegals?
For what it’s worth, Joanna’s policy is to not speak with Spanish-language networks, e.g. Univision, Telemundo, Gala, etc., but I disagree with her stance. Anyone who wants to be interviewed by them is free to do so individually though.
Been sending this out to various organizations to spread the word.
Sent several emails tonight. So far, the national Tea Party has listed it on their calendar. http://www.theteaparty.net/teapartycalendar.asp
(Click on New York or May 1st to see the event)
Waiting for replies from Fire Coalition, CIS, American Patrol, Conservative Party New York.
Saw this event late, but hope it helps.
Thanks, Oprev! I really appreciate it.
No problem, Gerard!
Fire Coalition has it on their calendar now also. http://www.firecoalition.com/
(Click “Events” and the “May” calendar)
Good luck.
Thanks again! I really appreciate your efforts to spread the word. Hopefully we’ll have a great turnout this weekend.
Fantastic idea! I wish I could be there. Let us know if anyone will be streaming it.
To be honest, I wish I had the technical capacity to do that but I don’t.
Hopefully we’ll be able to hire a contributor with an iPhone one of these days.
