Friends –

September 1st, the Republican Convention opens in St. Paul. If you want to join in the protests, bus seats are available from Chicago. Act now: we have to pay for the busses by Monday, August 18th. Most bus companies have already said they have no busses left, and if we have to reserve busses in the last 10 days before the convention, we might see prices go up.

Options:

There are several schedules and prices, including charter busses as well as some Mega Bus seats that we are holding.

Tickets are available for:

Charter Busses:
- $55 – returning Tuesday a.m., September the 2nd
- $65 - returning Wednesday a.m., September the 3rd

Transportation Details:
Monday 9/1: 2:30 a.m. - load busses on Columbus Drive behind the Art Institute. Depart at 3:00 a.m. Arrive at St. Paul State Capitol by 11:00 a.m. start of rally. 1:00 pm step off for march to Xcel Center.
- Schedule 1: Return trip departs St. Paul at 9:00 pm upon conclusion Bush's speech at the convention (scheduled for 7:00 pm). Pick up location TBA. Drop off at Columbus Drive location.
Schedule 2: Return trip departs St. Paul at midnight. Pick up location TBA. Drop off at Columbus Drive location.
Schedule 3: Return trip departs St. Paul at 8:00 pm on Tuesday, 9/2, following the March for Our Lives (4:00 – 8:00 pm). Pick up location TBA. Drop off at Columbus Drive location.

Want to arrive a little early before the start of the rally?
Mega Bus option: A limited number of one way tickets on Mega Bus are available.
- $22

Transportation Details:
Sunday, August 31st. Board at Union Station, W. Jackson Blvd. and S. Canal St. Depart: 10:30 pm. Arrive North 3rd Ave by 4th St. Parking in Minneapolis, 6:30 a.m. You will be responsible for your own return reservation. You will be responsible for transportation in the Twin Cities. If you are able to volunteer to help the Coalition to March on the RNC, transportation assistance might be available.

Donate
If you are unable to travel to St. Paul, you can assist others that want to be part of the historic protest. You can contribute whatever amount you can afford. Recommended donation is $65, to cover the full cost of a bus seat. We are committed to getting everyone to St. Paul that wants to go, but many, especially low income people, aren't able to afford the price of a ticket. Help them get on the bus!

Pay On Line
The Coalition to March on the RNC and Stop the War have set up Paypal for us on their website: http://marchonrnc.org/ChicagoBus

If you prefer, you can write a check for the amount to the Coalition to March on the RNC. Mail it to POBox 87613, Chicago, IL 60680-0613. Write in the memo: Schedule 1, 2, or 3; Megabus; or donation.

Good for them.

Goons on Parade make the best videos.

We do not need to have many activists there for an effective counter presence. We do need signs that tell people to log onto NumbersUSA if they disagree with amnesty.
