The Sarah Palin (she was in town for a 1k per plate fundraiser) protest held Friday morning in downtown Dallas was great. We had an official count of over 400 protestors on our side; they were out there for over 4 hours! The other side had a few more –so over one thousand people were on the streets of downtown Dallas protesting –it was excellent.

What? You didn’t see much coverage about it on the news?
You didn’t know about it or you would have come?

Yeah, we know --that’s why Dallas Air America Groups http://www.dallasairamerica.org  and now North Texas Progressive http://www.northtexasprogressive.org/  have a weekly newsletter and why we post all local event photos and videos on our site! Also, please JOIN CODEPINK !
