For those going to Tampa for the RNP/GOP convention or Charlotte for the DNP convention....... Please be safe, be united, be smart, be brave, be non-violent and most of all love each other. Have fun, too ! http://www.nlg.org/news/press-releases/nlg-rnc-and-dnc/

-- a reminder - if you get arrested, the police will likely take away all personal property - leaving you with shirt, pants/shorts, underwear and socks. Use a permanent marker to write a phone number on your skin that you may need to use when you are allowed that one call. If you are like me - i seldom even try to remember phone numbers - relying on my cell phone contact list. Actually - would recomend 2 numbers to have on your skin - the NLG hotline number and a friend/family member you can count on. Remember though - that ONE phone call you will have after if arrested and held in jail or confined that 1st day - make it count ! National Lawyers Guild hotline specific to Tampa is (813) 241-0101. NLG Charlotte hotline will be (704) 372-4200
