Speeches, ask them questions. There is plenty of material on FR to pick good ones from. Nothing makes a point better than to ask a question the congressional clunker can’t answer.
Small signs inside, line the streets outside with people with very large hand made signs. We tried other methods, these proved the most effective. Surround the ACORN tea shirts.
Back on April 15 we had near 3000 people line the street for blocks. It was marvelous honking good time. We had near 5000 up the road at a park location. By far the street was better, got more attention.
Remember your plan should be to get on local TV and in the face of your clunker. If that doesn’t work, prevent your clunker from getting the message(lies) out. Your sign is your message. Be polite, make a point.
Bring water.
Even better let’s show up wearing Acorn shirts, where can we get some?
You’ve given me another idea for a protest sign.
Cap Taxes and trade congressclunkers.
And I might add, make sure every single person in attendance is educated on the issues, well-spoken and level-headed. All you need is one loud or ignorant person in your group and the press will zero in on him to try to destroy the whole message.
Oh, and hot babes among the protesters helps. :)
No, seriously, the news likes nothing better than putting babes on the news. Gotta keep up them ratings!
All good advise and I love that term, “ congressional clunker “.
