"We have legally conquered Savannah's central park complex and its streets for free speech actions during the G8 Summit. They said it would be impossible in Georgia. That is why GW Bush and his spin doctors picked Coastal Georgia as their G8 'Colonial Panorama' in the first place. They have been painfully surprised.

We said that that nothing is impossible, with the fury and dreams of our people. We were on the money, so much so that Bush, et al. have declared Coastal Georgia under a 'STATE OF EMERGENCY'. This is a blatant move to criminalize dissent in the vicinity of GW Bush's Sea Island tea party.

Indeed, the 2004 G8 Summit will take place 70 miles from Savannah, so why stage a protest festival in Savannah? There are two reasons for this scenario: 1.) The region surrounding Sea Island and Brunswick will be placed under draconian security. It is probable that Brunswick will be cordoned off by blocking the highways; 2.) The international press corp and G8 delegates will be housed in Savannah. This makes Savannah the likely focus of free speech activities. Put simply, in respect to activists successfully putting their various cases before the world, Savannah will be strategic mainstage. Moreover, on June 10, George W. Bush, Tony Blair and the other G8 leaders are scheduled to deliver their closing remarks in Savannah, making this city the literal center of the media world."
