Is Williamsburg next?

Rumor has it that the Nazis and the Klan have decided to gather in Williamsburg in late June or early July.

I've contacted the National Park Service, host to last summer's September gathering in Valley Forge, to see if I can get any information from them:
Please forward this electronic mail to the FOIA Officer for the Colonial National Historical Park.

Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 5 USC 522, I request all records and information -- including electronic documents, letters, memos, applications, or other forms of records -- concerning a request by any groups, particularly groups which might be classified as "hate groups" such as the National Socialist Movement or the Ku Klux Klan, who have applied for an application to gather in any National Park Service property in the Colonial National Historic Park, or any other nearby National Park Service facility, in late June 2005 or early July 2005.

I believe the disclosure of this information is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the federal government and is not in my commercial interest. As such, a request a waiver of fees associated with this request. If a waiver is not granted, I ask to be notified of any fees assessed for this request.

My preferred method of communications is by electronic mail. You may also contact me by regular mail.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.
If they are coming, once again, we'll not be content to sit idly by. As my brother said back in early September, we ought to "offer a forum for a peaceful and educational rally as an alternative to the hate rally."

Your thoughts?

Ron, no, not Williamsburg, NY. Williamsburg, Virginia. The Williamsburg you call home.

Ron, okay, so I get it now. You live in NY, not VA... I think I've been too provincial in my thinking.

Want to travel to Virginia in June and join us at the Rally? I'll give you a prime speech slot...
