I say we should protest/picket that. Let people know that ray watts is toxic now. Make sure he feels the weight of the albatross.

We need to make everywhere he goes extremely unpleasant and uncomfortable. Pressure businesses and associations to stop doing business with him.

And why the hell would a chamber of commerce want to speak to someone who clearly didn't think outside the box for the sake of economic development? He's clearly not an authority on that.

I would love to see someone walk up to him with one of the bumper stickers and ask him to sign it.

RE: Guess who's speaking at the Homewood Chamber of Commerce?
I just sent this:

"Watts just killed a Division 1 football program and in doing such he seriously damaged UAB, many students' lives, the Campaign for UAB, the City of Birmingham and Jefferson County. Just watch the state and local and national news; it is embarrassing. Is it really a wise decision to have him discuss anything business related? He has tarnished the reputation of UAB and our entire state. Just my feelings on this matter; thanks for your time."

I guess they are assuming that he will have the guts to get out of the office. What is the over and under on how many cops he shows up with?

Don't pay to be in there. Protest it outside.

With it being at the club, it may require a permit to protest though.

The good news is that there is only 1 road going in and 1 coming out of The Club,,, makes it easy to 'ambush' him with signs, etc and also show the other attendees what we think of him.

If we can't force him out, make him want to get out.

I think signs on the drive up to the club pointing out how much a disaster he is should do well.
