Letters From NYC

Michele at Letters From NYC is right down in the middle of the protestors at the RNC.

She tells us about the frustration of just trying to get home from work with the circus in town. 12 protests as of Friday, and it doesn't even really get going until today!

Here's some information on a Bomb Plot that was foiled, and not even reported on for the most part!!

For a glimpse into what she is Seeing and Living with DAILY during this convention:

For the first time I saw momentary states of anarchy at various locations. The whole point of rallies and protests are for people to express their opinions, so they can educate those who are not aware of their point of view. What has amazed me is what little of that is going on and how virtually no information is available as to who they are and what their protest is about. The unifying motive/theme for the protests seems to be their hate of Bush and wanting the troops to be brought home tomorrow.

And there is more here.

This isn't some "news event" on TV. This is her life. This is what she and her friends and family and thousands of others must contend with daily until the RNC is over.

Keep Michele and all those in NYC that are just trying to live their lives in your thoughts and prayers. Keep checking back with her to see what's REALLY going on in the street. Leave her a note letting her know we're thinking of her. I can only imagine what she's seeing hearing and dealing with.
