Information Activism at PDX airport

This is a little known opportunity for any activist group to crack a mainstream populace.
A little known "freedom of information" policy at the Portland airport (that they somehow left out of the patriot act) allows for virtually any political, activist, or information group to set up a table and hand out material of their choice. A permit must be acquired at the Port of Portland office in the airport which involves a brief meeting and submission of the material to be distributed. They are very friendly and gracious and after the first permit is acquired it can be faxed in subsequently. The permit is good for a week and has to be renewed each week. At this time the POP supplies the table and chairs however they won't after the end of march. It's a rewarding experience, the food is good and lots of fabulous women (and i suppose men) to look at. For more information phone Barbara LaBrosse at 503 460 4232.

The airport passengers might be receptive, after paying their wasted Homeland Security surcharge. Thanks for your work.
