Any info. on Rmoney's Ford Field speech and possible protest?

I've done some Google searches and checking local groups like the Coffee Party but I am not seeing anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

The DEC must have rented the facility for the day.

I've attended one DEC luncheon event, a looooong, long time ago. It was rubber chicken and the speaker was an Assistant Secretary of State. The room only held about ~2-300 people.

Ford Field? Such arrogance! Why not the Big House in Ann Arbor?

If they open Ford Field to all comers, they'll need to erect a chain link fence in front of the stage (think Blues Brothers) to protect the sheltered one from the barrage of bottles.

BTW, I've got some cans and bottles in the garage, and I'd be tempted to join in any spring training for former pitchers.

they were going to hold it elsewhere (Westin downtown?) and sold out so they went to Ford Field.

I don't think it is going to be free and I am assuming that protesters will be forced into a "free speech zone" somewhere outside the stadium.

I would just like to get some bodies with signs on the local news coverage since it is so close to the primary election. Anything that hurts Rmoney helps us all.
