Pittsburgh, PA — where everyone is welcome

The City of Pittsburgh and the County of Allegheny developed a website dedicated to recruiting volunteers for and soliciting ideas about the G-20 Summit in September. According to this website:
As Pittsburghers, we're well known for our generous hospitality and the willingness to go the extra mile to make people feel welcome. This September, we will welcome the world and we hope that we can count on your assistance to help us get ready for this tremendous opportunity!
Although the authors of the website neglected to mention this point, I am sure that they (County Executive Onorato and Mayor Ravenstahl) intend to show the same hospitality to the protesters who will also participate in the Summit as, well, protesters!
