…drop what you’re doing at get out to Eagan.<\/p>\n

As this is written, Col. Joe Repya will be starting his big sign giveaway in the parking lot at Stephano’s in Eagan – the corner of Highway 13 and Cliff Road\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0– starting at noon, and going until 3 or until they run out, whichever comes first.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And the smart<\/p>\n

I say that because they should run out fast – as in, possibly within the first hour or so.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What to do with them?\u00a0 From Colonel Joe Repya’s press release<\/a>\u00a0(I’ve added emphasis):<\/p>\n

At noon on September 1, the anti-war crowd claims they\u2019ll have upwards of 50,000 marching from the Minnesota Capitol Building to the Excel Energy Center where the Republican National Convention, at the Excel Energy Center in Saint Paul.<\/p>\n

We are asking everyone who supports our men and women in uniform defending America in the War on Terror to line the streets from the Excel Center with our signs<\/strong>. It is our way of being “Minnesota Nice” and wishing these protesters a “nice day in Minnesota.” We encourage no discussion or verbal exchange with the demonstrators – only a pleasant \u201csmile!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So show up!\u00a0 I’ll be heading up there in a few minutes.\u00a0 See you at noon-ish <\/strong>at Stephano’s!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
