The federal Department of Homeland Security agrees with the DeKalb County department’s landing page, not their page explaining the threat level system: We are currently at Code Yellow, not Code Orange.
And if the Atlanta vegan community is planning a big protest to go along with all their new publicity, quite a number of us are interested in joining you. We aren’t vegans — and some of the folks I’ve talked to are even big fans of HoneyBaked Ham — but we’re 100% behind your right to protest, and we’re willing and interested in being out there with you.
The right to peacefully assemble and the right to free speech are really important to us.

unfortunately that kind of thing isn’t unique to the south, we’ve got plenty of it here in the mid-atlantic (and everywhere else in the country i’m pretty sure).
can we take you up on the extra room and vegan cake even if we don’t make it in time to protest this specific incident?
God, that’s nuts. And it freaks me out to agree with Bob Barr. I had no idea.
And of course you’re welcome to visit and stay with us. (Maybe not next Feb, when we expect to be a little busy.
But otherwise!)
