You may not have got much support at the time, however you may have put a grain of doubt in some people's minds. If they then start looking things up on the Internet they will find some highly critical comments about her.
I could start rambling what a waste of time it would be...We've been gathering older information from the stopsylvia.com website, but we were going to ask if someone has already created some flyers with some punchy text/pictures to make the largest impact we can on people quickly.
Has anyone else protested a sylvia reading? Advice, suggestions?

Mindcore, my comments are on your blog.
I also love that phrase grief-vampirism. It is so trendy.
I always thought that Texas people were very sweet. Maybe that foul mouthed woman didn't live in Texas?
Either that or maybe it was the same lovely woman who threatened Robert with disaster due to bad karma or something. Remember that? It was an email and she gave him like a 24-hour countdown and we all waited breathlessly to see what would happen. Can't remember the name of that thread.
Is there a way to change the title of this post to reflect that this protest has happened and that the thread now contains link to video of the protest?
I don't see a way as the OP that I can edit it...

Here is some footage from the protest on YouTube. There may be more in the future.
Sylvia Browne Protest Dallas, Texas
Good video. But not very safe for work as it contains the word starting with the letter f.
Unfortunately these charlatans are far too callous to be concerned about peoples feelings,as far as converting the masses...they WANT to believe this garbage.We can only hope that our efforts will show results,we just have to keep at it.I might be able to get some audio as well for use on Dogma Free America, if Rich will let me do an on-site show similar to his recent Westboro Baptist coverage.
I was recently asked to use a camcorder to record some stuff for my friend AronRa at a seminar at a church here about Creation Vs Evolution and I think the only thing we learned from that fiasco is that I'm not a good person to hand a video camera to, especially when I'm agitated at scammers, liars, and con artists. The video was unusable. I think audio is the way to go.
I hope to begin working more closely with the local skeptical group and organize events like this with the help of other folks not afraid to put their face and name out there. We should not be ashamed of who we are, what we do, THE CHARLATANS SHOULD BE.
I wake up every weekday and go in to teach kids about science and critical thinking. I make a fair and honest living doing what I love (and sometimes hate), but I'm not being dishonest about it. I'm not stealing money from grieving families, and I don't have to lie to make money.
If Sylvia or her cronies are reading these messages, I challenge them to be able to say the same thing. Are you making an honest living helping people? Are you making the world a better place?
Then, sadly, I wonder how many of them actually think they are...
