Subject: Dick Cheney: Puppetmaster!

Hola! Tom Just a FYI about Puppetmaster Cheney's visit, no doubt there will be lots of actions going on as a member of US Democrats Abroad Australia DAA, we had planned to do a peaceful protest. But the DNC in Washington said we have to adhere to a protocol not to criticise the President when out of country (since when is Dick the President?) We decided if can't protest without fear of cancelling our chapter, we could either act as individuals or Angry Americans Abroad or as so sneakly suggested at last nights meeting, we could get a permit form the City Council to do "US Voter Registration" in Martin Place.

Quite clever I thought (not my idea by the way), I'm also trying to get my PA system back for quality audio protests which I could lend to any Australian groups.

Sorry I haven't hooked up with you sooner, but I've been doing Chinese New Year installations. But now I have your email it will be a good way to keep in touch.

Adios

Even though Cheney is only flying into Canberra, and not coming to Sydney, we are hoping to get some coverage of Angry Americans! See the attached email below from our chair Marla.
