What were some of the tactics the hippies used when protesting the Viet Nam War? I remember sit-ins (designed to halt traffic on sidewalks and streets), people chaining themselves to various things like doors (which would prevent people going in and out), flag-pole sitting, hunger strikes, anything weird and bizarre to get media attention and get their message out. Think about a bunch of people chaining themselves to the doors of the Senate building or doing a lie-in on the Capitol steps. Even the State Controlled Media would have to notice because it would be so wild.

On a related note, the 2010 March for Life is in DC on January 21 & 22.

once again I’ve been saying the exact same thing for almost a year now. We need to use the VERY successful methods of the LEFT against them. It works !

Looking over the crowd on 9/12, and not seeing a single major news outlet there to cover the event, I realized that the media and government are afraid of us.....the middle class silent majority American who pays the bills. The images of senior citizens, priests, young people dressed in shirts and ties, being carted out of the halls of the House of Representatives before their vote on healthcare were most effective. Someone else mentioned the image of middle class conservatives being pelted by water cannons would also be effective. My feeling is surrounding the Capital where we can be up close with our representatives is the best way to go.
