There are already serious talks about demonstration and one posting
suggests the place is White House and the theme is Shen Tong's arrest.
Would IFCSS consider this proposal?

This is the sixth week of ST's arrest by Li Peng's staff, not Uncle Sam.
And the media never heard any CSS initiated rally at any PRC agents here
in the US during the period. Suddenly, a large CSS rally pops up near
1600 Pennsylvania Ave., D.C. "demanding the release of SHEN TONG", and/or
"protests" displaying Shen Tong's picture are held in "all states".

I cannot figure out:

  How Mr. Bush's attitude will be affected by such large scale, well,
      rally/demonstration/protest;
  How the US media will comment on the event when they quickly learn
      that the behind-scene story is related to thses demonstrators'
      immigration status change;

And if the S1216 is signed by Bush the same day of the effective
demonstration(s) or next Monday, then all the ST rescue activities vanish
quickly -- replaced by parties celebrating... And this kind rally never
happen again even ST or others like him prisoned for years...

At least I feel it like a drama. If IFCSS is confident to conduct it,
please make sure there is minimum side effect caused by it.
