Is there any news coverage of any protests against Aruba? I clicked on you link but it was just an information/promotional piece on the exhibition itself. Have there been any protests lodged with the American businesses who rely on Aruban tourism (such as Carlos n' Charlie's or hotels like the Radisson)?

Bostonians, we need you and so does Natalee!

Since up to 26,000 people view the front page of SM in a single day it's always nice to get updates and photos from the travel show boycotts.  That way an additional 26,000 will see it not to mention future views in google searches.  It will increase the awarement of thousands of more people.

So it would be nice to get updates so a front page post/update of the travel boycott can be done.

I hope that visitors to this travel show today and tomorrow are reminded about Natalee Holloway, and that Aruba is not a safe travel destination.

JUSTICE FOR NATALEE!

There was no protest in Boston. There was some interest but not enough volunteers to carry it off.

Two of the original Boston 5 no longer live on the East Coast, so it was too far for them to travel.


Hotshot, who is a good soldier for Natalee, was willing to go but needed a little help.
However, my husband and I had  a more pressing commitment with a terminally ill parent, so we could not go, either.

We tried to get a few new volunteers but that did not work out.

 
We tried right down to the wire to make the protest happen, but unfortunately things didn't work out this time.

However, there were great protests in St. Louis and LA recently and that is a
good thing for Natalee.

I just wish we could stop all the fighting and just focus on Natalee. There is no "we" or "they." There is only Natalee.

[Artcolley]

Thank You.

It was a miserably snowy weekend, too. We were snowed in at my house.



Yes, the fighting needs to stop. Its silly.

Yes, unfortunately it looks like Aruba went all out for this one. 

With the ad campaigns in the subways and elsewhere, maybe this is something we can try to work on year round.
