Actually, it's much more pragmatic, 'Art.'

If you and I, say, and a few other radicals, call a press conference calling on Chicagoans to take to the streets Oct 27 for 'Out Now,' it's hardly 'news' and I seriously doubt if anyone would come, let alone run a story.

But add a few Members of Congress, Alderman, top labor leaders, CBO leaders with a long history here, as well as a few radicals, to deliver the same message, all out for 'Out Now' on the 27th, then at least you have a shot at getting some media coverage.

And thus a bigger turnout--it's a no-brainer to me.

Of course, one never knows.

Brittany may have another fender bender that day, or OJ might get busted for something, and the we're all scooped and marginalized for REAL NEWS!, even with our handful of politicians.

We'll see.
