Local radio stations are especially interested if you put across a local spin to it... ie. 'I was in Genoa', 'my friend is in Washington' etc.
Vital also that the word 'riot' doesn't get misused... from the report I have had this morning, the police are engaging in unprovoked attacks on peaceful protesters. There is a black-bloc with Police infiltrators.
It could be a horrible day.

Joseph Mayer, 69, a retired Lt. Col. in the US Army, who lives in Alexandria and works in the District approached the police line at the corner of 15th and Pennsylvania. "Why can't I leave? I'm just trying to cross the street." Mayer, pointing to a long line of police, said "They closed Freedom Plaza and turned it into a non-Freedom Plaza. They have turned the Constitution off."
"If I take this button off," he said, thrusting forward his Don't Attack Iraq button. "I'm free again. When I'm a protester, I'm detained."
