Right, the EFF did not initiate the protests and they can certainly refuse 
to join them.  However, they can't stop them - the protests are going to 
happen - unless by some miracle Abode completely caves to our demands 
Monday morning.

I am asking the EFF refrain from claiming that the "Protests are on Hold" - 
which is now the lead on their web site and change it to a more accurate, 
"EFF temporarily withdrawing support from Abode protests".
