Protest of 3 at a time in the Capitol
If the anti-Constitutional rules say that parties of 4 or more can be considered a "Protest" inside the capitol and 100 outside.

Then we should start a protest day were people are in groups of 3 at a time?

Any Takers? We could put this together.

1. I was reading about strolling protests in places like Iran and China where
overt political protest is not allowed - no signs, no chants - just people there and present.... and still making a profound statement with their physical presence.

I like your idea too!

8. In case you havent noticed - the radical right wants to remake us into China!
That’s the model. A government-corporate fusion, single party rule in perpetuity, fewer or no worker protections, ever-increasing repression.


There is no single “right” way to protest, only what is most effective. The best protest is always fluid, creative, reinventing itself to respond to changing situations. It needs to remain fresh, otherwise it becomes a cliché.

I thought the image of large numbers of people quietly standing in opposition was quite moving. The peacefulness of it has the effect of making the repression against it look really, really bad.


But I am not saying we SHOULD do it that way - not saying that at all. Just that there’s ways to creatively work around just about anything.

And, keep our eyes on prize – keep focused!! They want us sidetracked and stupefied by all that they’re throwing at us.

4. That would be great!
Or conversely, have a bunch of T-shirts made that say:

"I'M NOT WITH THEM....but I like what they have to say!"

Fitzwalker Cop: Hey! You 5 protesters! Do you have your protest permit?
People: What are you talking about, we're not together; can't you read?

6. the 19th will be a big day
for protesting in various numbers and configurations. We're a creative bunch!

Tomorrow (Saturday) from 9 - 11 is the final "Re-Education Camp" in the basement of the Capitol, where the DOA pretends that they're going to answer questions, but they don't. Join us for a rollicking good time!

7. Oh yes, and meet the Karl Rove Associate
who is the brand-spankin' new communications director for the DOA! She's a smirker!

9. Was she the high healed bimbo walking the perimeter of the room?
She crushed the marble with those spikes and then again maybe they were left overs from her previous occupation? I am just saying

:puke:
