This guy talked to us, too!

Xinhua reports:
Prior to the leaders' arrival, under the watch of police officers, a small number of protesters gathered in front of the hotel, chanting anti-summit slogans and waving placards that read: "No North American Union", "U.S. citizens say no to tyranny," etc.

"They (The leaders) are doing this without consulting with the American people," Thomas Anderson, a protester from Texas, told Xinhua, saying that they were calling for transparency from the meeting.

Anderson accused the leaders at the summit of ignoring the concerns of ordinary people and engaging in secrete discussions that violate the U.S. constitution and endanger the sovereignty of the United States.

Do you know when any of the leaders will be arriving at all, or are they keeping that info pretty covered up? It'll be interesting to see just how close anyone will be able to get to the actual intergovernmental summit.
