White supremacists are meeting at a prime Branson convention center, June 1-3, 2012. Branson, an international tourist destination, should not promote racist hate.
This just in from a friend:
RALLY ON JUNE 2 (a Saturday) at 275 TANGER BLVD.,BRANSON, MO
On May 15, I informed Dave and Linda Skoglund, owners of the Camden Hotel and Convention Center, that we will be protesting the presence of LaPorte Church of Christ/Scriptures for America (sfaw.org) on the weekend of June 1-3.
I called the City of Branson and I have been told that a protest can take place as long as signs are hand-held and the protesters act in a civil manner.
The idea is to convince the Skoglunds to forego the $30,000 that the racist, anti-Semitic hate group might offer the hotel in future years, in exchange for keeping Branson decent and free of gutter trash.
The Skoglunds seem to be decent people. I told them as much. It is up to them whether they want to look at the plain-as-day evidence that is in the group's literature and has been outlined on www.facebook.com/reject.hate.in.branson.and.the.ozarks --
-- or shall Dave and Linda Skoglund continue taking filthy lucre from people who threaten to kill police, who recommend killing Jews and homosexuals, who recommend removing African-American families from the United States, and whose members have committed numerous felony crimes -- including murdering uniformed officers of the law.
For now, plans are to rally in front of the Camden Hotel on June 2 (Saturday) for an all-afternoon appearance.
The Camden is located at the corner of Tanger Blvd. and Oak Creek Drive, one block north of W. 76 Country Blvd. (SH 76). At the corner of Tanger and 76 is a Krispy Kreme and a big red Tanger Outlets sign. Turn north, go one block. The Camden in on the left (west) side of Tanger.

Thanks for the boost, Jim. We were mentioned on the Diane Rhem Show on NPR, and support is coming in from all over America.
They did it in Egypt, they did it in Russia. We can do it in the Ozarks --
We are UNITED by social media. The "PEOPLE POWER" lead story on our Facebook page has easy instructions for spreading the word to millions of people in the next few days. It can happens if we all do it.
When I told the hotel owners that the "church" has a cop-killer manifesto on its web site, owner Linda Skoglund told me, in essence, "So what?" She told me it is un-Christian to criticize this group, because they have a right to their opinions. Their money talks, too.
Friday, June 1, 3-6 PM
Saturday, June 2, 1-6 PM
275 Tanger Blvd, at the main entrance (south entrance) of Tanger Outlet Mall.
We are going to flood Branson with thousands of good people, to to kick off Branson's summer by showing the hate mongers just how unwelcome they are in the Ozarks.
So, Friday or Saturday or both, drop what you are doing and stand up for common human decency here in our home. And spread the word --

When I read the title I thought that it would be about the Republicans moving their national convention to Branson.
I was pretty close.
