Just a thought on "littering" at Camp Casey..
I think it would be useful to record the condition of the roadside when the Camp moves to the private land..
And also to record the condition of THAT land if it's necessary for Cindy to move Camp Casey to DC

ALSO

Locals should keep an eye on it for a week or so afterwards because I fully expect the "trashing of the WH by departing Clintons" brigade to make a mess.

1. I think those are great ideas.
You can't trust them.

2. Freeps planning to invade 8/27. Expect to see
beer cans & McDonald's wrappers everywhere.

4. Suggestion..
Why not have everyone that plans on going to Camp Casey (Im going Saturday) take a small plastic bag to pick up whatever they see as garbage on the ground? With potentially hundreds of people doing this, there wont be a cigarette butt to be found or cheeseburger wrapper anywhere. By the time the Freeps start their BS, it will be common knowledge that the visitors and others are more than doing their part to pick up a few things here and there to keep the place clean. I have a pick up and will gladly cart out whatever people want to leave with me.

5. It is a good idea..the mantra there and at the House is
if you have trash, pick it up.
If you see your neighbor's trash, PICK IT UP.
And everyone does, happily.

6. I'm sure they do.
But I would have proof that the grounds are spotless when they leave.

7. And DOCUMENT results when you leave!
Let's make sure that everyone KNOWS that we have been good stewards of the land during the encampment!

11. Exactly
Make sure that there are pictures of what the grouds look like when people are leaving. Maybe even make sure there is a timestamp on the picture or maybe have a picture of someone at the protest in the shot.

8. And buy a bag of grass seed and a watering can. Make sure filming of
the planting of grass seed and watering is done. Maybe bring a rake to rake the area before the grass seed is planted so the Texas road crew can't bill the Peace House for damage to the vegetation from the tents and people there.

Just an extra precaution since we know how these people are.

9. good idea, although St. Augustine takes an amazing amount
of abuse and springs right back. That stuff can look dead and you give it a little water and voila!

10. The media will bring their own dump truck full of trash
to spread right before they turn on the cameras . . .
