Post in Saint Paul (and may-be that city across the river) during the RNC

Mr. Hine,

If yours is such an all inclusive, prevailing attitude why are you wasting so
much effort on getting 10 seconds of one night's news spot.? Why on earth don't
you apply all that energy to getting the Democrat lead congress to rescind
their proclamation (authorization) of war or cutting off the monies for that
war? You can have the most elaborate, sensational, peaceful or horrific protest
the world has ever seen when the RNC  is in town and you won't have changed a
thing! Nothing! Not one speaker at the convention will change his speech. No
one will be elected or not elected as result of your protest. No ones opinion
about the war will be changed. Not one soldier more or less will die because of
your march. Not one congress person will change their opinions because of you.
Your demonstrating is an absolute waste of time to further advance your stated
causes. That is why most of us understand your stated reason is nothing near
your true reasons for demonstrating.

Dean Sheldon,

St Anthony Park
