The Pamphleteer |
|
|
During colonial times in America, if you wanted to convince or inform people about some issue that you considered important, you went to the local printer and got some pamphlets printed. You then handed them out, read them to anybody that was interested, nailed them to the town bulletin board, or the nearest tree.
The first amendment was specifically written to protect this type of activity and the writers or "pamphleteers".

JUST SOME THOUGHTS... The New York City Host Committee for the Republican convention held it's first training session for volunteers last night. These are folks from all over who have volunteered to help the delegates that are attending the Republic National Convention. Generally, volunteering for anything in the NYC area is a gigantic pain in the rear end. Not because of the people who are being helped, but generally volunteer efforts seem to be run by the same morons who run everything in the military; "Hurry up and wait" being the modus operandi. The training session last evening was a pleasant surprise. The Host Committee seems to have their act together. The training started on time (Ok, it was ten minutes late); it was organized, interesting and entertaining. The hardest part was practicing smiling! (What's up with that, anyway?) The other volunteers were really great. When we had time for private conversation, a lot of us really connected. Most of us are really enthusiastic about President Bush, but the real fun began, when we could make fun of Senator Kerry. (Part of the dress code, I kid you not is "No...flip flops.") So, for those of you planning to be at the Republican National Convention, set your minds at ease, we'll be waiting to welcome you and if we seem a little uneasy, remember: We've never met this many Republicans in NYC in our lives! Welcome, and have fun. |
