\nY’all come:<\/p>\n

\n“Basically, we want to exercise our right to peaceably assemble,”
\nsaid Hurley,
\n“We want everyone to join in and let their voice be heard.
\nI feel a lot of people have lost that sense of freedom we once had.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meet at Drexel Park before noon.
\nThe VDT got the route wrong, but just come along and you’ll get there.
\nIf you aren’t able to walk a few miles, head directly to the Chamber of
\nCommerce around 1:30 PM, and we’ll meet you there a bit later.<\/p>\n

\nYes, I’m one of the organizers, in case I haven’t said that before.
\nHere’s the Facebook event.<\/a><\/p>\n

\nI’d like to add my usual plug for<\/p>\n


\nthe VDT, which I’ve also made when
\nspeaking at numerous local government meetings.
\nI criticize our local newspaper as much as anybody else,
\nbut lately they’ve been doing some real investigative reporting
\nand they’ve helped a lot with local government transparency.
\nSure, there are things they still need to cover more, such as
\nespecially the Quitman 10, and we need to keep after them about that.
\nSo let’s encourage them by everybody buying a copy of today’s paper,
\nand if you can afford it, buy a subscription.<\/p>\n
