Mayor asshole Bloomberg won't allow them to march, but you can stand outside the UN and freeze your psuedo-hippy asses off.

The word I get is because Bloomberg doesn't want to pa the NYPD for the overtime it would take to secure the march as opposed to just a standing rally. We have had a bunch of half essed demonstrations here latley (not all concerning Iraq) there are a bunch more scheduled, plus, St Patrick's Day parade is in about a month. This rally was thrown at the city at the last minute and there was no way to budget it in properly.

Bottom line: You can't march cuz bloomberg is too cheap to protect you.
