surround OUR white house on a rotating basis with 100 people

[mopaul]

keep a constant presence of at least 100 people in a continuous protest with a constant supply of protestors making the voice of we the people heard and our faces seen. raise hell, while it is still legal to do so. that is OUR white house, not theirs. the framers of this nation set it up so we could raise hell and throw elected officials out when they are found to be corrupt. it is our right to do so, unless that right is taken away. they work FOR US, not the other way around. WE are THEIR bosses, not the other way around.

hop on a bus. organize a group for a day, to surround our white house and make our voices heard. these madmen are destroying the world and are not the type that can be reasoned with. they must be physically stopped. physically removed by us. it is our white house, they don't belong there. don't be afraid, just surround the white house with an eternal death watch vigil, no rioting, no criminal acts, just practicing our free speech rights while we still have them.

why am i even uttering these words? why isn't the white house ALREADY surrounded by screaming crowds? i don't get it. do they have us all drugged into submissiveness? hypnotized? are we too fatalistic and defeatist to realize these men are destroying america?

surround the white house with your very own pissed off patriotic self.
someone swing by with the bus and grab my old ass, i'll go, i'll do a day on the line, rain or shine. we must go in the front door, and they must go out the back.

1. I'm with you

I once posted that we should be 500 people deep

2. How do you stop them "physically" with no rioting

and no criminal acts?

3. I've said before

that the way to make an impact is not through a massive one-day turnout where everyone goes home at the end, but by maintaining a daily, nagging presence. Bang pots, chant "Get out of our house!", whatever. The crowds would, I truly believe, swell over time, be difficult to ignore, and perhaps even become the international story. It happened in Belgrade. And crazier things have already happened.

Though maybe August isn't the month to start, since the resident has abandoned the premises.

7. United for Peace has some info

There is the Code Pink Women's Peace Vigil that is outside the WH everyday, I think and some special events in the next couple of weeks:

Update from the Women's Peace Vigil in Washington, DC

But, I hear you, mopaul, we need a regular, huge, daily presence.

8. Terrific idea, MP!

I'm on the west coast, but your plan would definitely have an impact!

9. Abbie Hoffman attempted to levitate the Pentagon in the 60s

How many of us would it take to do that, MoPaul?

[grasswire]

10. a hundred would be spread pretty thin

The perimeter of the WH grounds is pretty darn big. And I suspect they have closed the area between the WH and Treasury Dept to pedestrians, which means the area would have to extend even farther.

11. women wove with yarn and thread and barred the doors of the

Pentagon back then. They surrounded the whole building and wove the doors shut.
