NOTES: There may be a significant amount of press.  German, Russian, and American press have already contacted us concerning the events in Moscow or St Petersburg.

Thanks to Paul O'Brien for letting us use the Starlite.

Please feel free to send this to others, as lots of Independents and many Republicans may have supported us this time.  Your Russian friends and spouses are welcome, but please confirm for Moscow breakfast.

If any of our members in remote areas of Russia are planning anything, please let me know.

Please be especially considerate of wait staff. I'm sure the evening and morning will be interesting for them.
