Rob,
If the REPUBLICANS (emphasis added primarily for your benefit!) who I
believe are organizing this event are willing to treat us as coalition
partners for the event, i.e. list the LPSF as a sponsor alongside any
other organizations listed as organizing, and give our speaker(s) fair
speaking time alongside right-wing talk show host Melanie Morgan and
whoever else they may be featuring, and if they request that we stick
to an anti-tax message (so far I haven't seen any such request), then
I'm OK with abiding by that, in consideration of them being the lead
organizers and presumably doing more promotion of the event.
If on the other hand, they attempt to exclude us from having a
visible presence, then I think whatever we want to go and say on our
own, via signs, fliers, megaphone, etc., is fair game. So far, Sally's
initial indication that it might not be possible to have a libertarian
speaker at this event, and subsequent silence in getting back to me,
gives me the impression that this is the route they plan to take. If
you think bending over backward to accommodate Republicans in San
Francisco is good politics, I have to respectfully disagree.
Love & Liberty,
((( starchild )))
