One good reason to be there.

$10 for a possible chance to get told to shut up by Hick? Maybe... If I go I'm recording that stuff!

Where does the money from the tickets go?

...and why is this conversation falling under the scope of counter-terrorism?

This raises my hackles in their CAP FAQ;

Can citizens really play a critical role in preventing terrorism?

Yes! The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has recognized the importance of citizen engagement – as Secretary Janet Napolitano once said, “Homeland security begins with hometown security”. Enhancing our disaster preparedness and public safety is a shared responsibility, and the CAP plays a crucial role in providing citizens with the information they need to play their part.

Because protesting the government is low-level terrorism.

Ask Cindy Sheehan how it works. Not once was any protest or "looking it to" her activities ever a priority. However if you agree with the dem / liberal position you're GTG, Disagree and you're lining up for post office photos.

I'd be willing to bet a pretty thorough background check was run on her.
