I emailed John Judge to inform him.
I will lower the colors in front of my house at 12:30 Nov 22 to half-staff, and keep it there for 30 days. If not in place for the Dealy Plaza Moment-of-Silence, there will be one right here.
I am not big on flying the flag, so I will buy one for this remembrance.
Now the staff is empty and has been for 2 years.
I toyed with the idea of flying the colors upside-down as IMO this Republic is in deep shit and has been since 1963.
I conclude this would disrespect President Kennedy so I will not do so.
Maybe after the 30 days of respect and remembrance.
The ENEMIES cannot halt free expression, free speech and free association, not in my own home.
Not yet.

It is time to ask OWS-Dallas and other civic groups if they will put up those who'd like to attend the 'circus' of the 50th, but can't afford the high hotel rates. Also, check couchsurfers for the Dallas area.
