There are two groups marching that day. Are they both being charged this new fee that is being required? How much is it?

"...and you can thank the Ku Klux Klan" I don't support any hate group; but it was the SAME drunken fools that spent 20 grand of taxpayer money on "portraits", $$$ on "catered lunches", & SUV's, which you can "thank". I'm "thanking" em' with my middle finger as you read this....

This could come back on them. Unions will not be happy with this.

If u look at the tapes from the last visit you'll see that it wasn't the klan who tore memphis up. don't allow anyone in the downtown area until they leave.
