  •  Dems should show up in droves... (4.00 / 4)

    a la Ghandi. Call the press and have hundreds of dems show up to "make salt" at these propaganda road shows.
    I think Dems could get more mileage out of this than dozens of anti-war protests. It would be another strike against the far right ruining this country and more evidence ofthe erosion of what this country stands for. (or once stood for)

    •  SS will site "security" issues (none / 1)

      This is a good idea, but I think anywhere Bush goes in the world, including the USA, the SS can keep people at considerable distance. So unless the "free" press is willing to go a few blocks (or miles) to see these protestors, nothing is going to happen. You can already guess what the media will do - they'll do exactly what they did in NY city during the replubican convention, when they conveniently ignored 100,000 protestors as if they didn't exist. It is pretty sad but true.

      •  Not exactly (4.00 / 2)

        Get tickets from your congressperson. Show up properly dressed (a suit would be nice). Behave. But have a bumper sticker on your car. Or wear a donkey pin on your lapel.

        Have the rethugs (and is THAT ever appropriate) throw you out.

        Call media. Immediately. On your cellphone, from in front of the venue.

        Repeat (and repeat, and repeat).

        They might ignore a few, but keep pounding on them, and they'll get the drift.

        And tell them that the OTHER unnamed network is going to be showing up in, oh, about 2 minutes.

        (Local guys will jump on this -- it's NEWS. For small town stations, this is HUGE.)

        •  I would notify the media first (none / 0)

          and tell them what was going to go down...a political car wreck!
          Revolutions and revolutionary acts are riveting when done right.
          If the refuk bouncers were intimidated enough THEN you give Bushwhack the gift of a REAL PUBLIC appearence. (with, gosh, other viewpoints and democracy thingys and everything!!!)
