Silent short Protest at City Hall Dallas - 12-29-2006, 03:30 PM


Ok there is not a set date for this event, it will occur on the day after the 3,000 death is announced (current count is 2992) and will be at 6pm at the flagpoles in front of City Hall. The organizers request that people arrive silently, spend the 5 minutes ( one second for every 10 troop deaths) silent and then leave the location. There could be just a handful of people or a number. Nothing further was stated than what I have noted above.

I know that Denton (over I-35) and Arlington (over I-20 at Cooper) had banner and petition protests already scheduled for Tommorrow afternoon and the way this one in Dallas was set up it should go on tommorrow- and I thought I wouldn't get out tommorrow!

Found Specifics on Tommorrow at City Hall:
At 5:45 PM, Monday, January 1, 2007, we will begin gathering in front of Dallas City Hall, near the 3 flag poles. At 6:00 PM a five minute period of silence, except for the tolling of a bell, will begin. The bell will ring once every 10 seconds to remember another 100 of the soldiers lost. No signs, no talks, only silence, and the tolling of the bell. Arrive in silence and leave in silence. This time is for them. We will not pretend it is an adequate memorial of their sacrifice.
