[free-sklyarov] LOS ANGELES: leafletting update

[Bob Smart]

What Mark said.

Plus, people were actually coming up and buttonholing ME for information 
about the case, about future activities like the rally this coming Monday, 
and so forth.  Sometimes, if I neglected to offer someone a flyer, they'd 
actually walk over and ASK for one.

And better yet, after we'd been there for an hour or so, I started to notice 
that people were actually standing around READING the things, not just 
carrying them or throwing them away at the first opportunity.  Other people 
were seeing people reading something, and even the ones who just pitched it, 
or didn't accept one at all, still had a direct, personal brush with the 
issue.  When they see something on the news now, or hear somebody at work 
mention Dmitry, it'll have a personal connection for them, however small, 
that it wouldn't have had if they hadn't seen us today.

The message is starting to diffuse.  Several people, when they saw what I 
had, said things like, "Oh, yeah...I've heard of this guy."   Overall, I'd 
say today's exercise was highly encouraging.
