Start a 'hooverville'.
Keep a constant several hundred people on protest at the White House?

5. Free Speech Zone
Protesters would be removed to a FSZ. This admin has no qualms about violating the highest law of land. Hooverville would have been water cannoned by this admin. Thing is, just like this admin has proven time and time again that they have no vision, the poor, sick, destitute and fed up working class will eventually choke the streets and will have to be handled. What we are witnessing is very much like Gr Britian when poor laws were enacted and alm houses were developed. This admin's policies are creating the dark ages here. Not inconceivable for the "bring out yer dead" scene from Monty Python, to play out in cities all over this nation.

9. You can't do it.
There's a law that you can't have more than 25 people in Lafayette Park. I think this is the law that Cindy Sheehan got arrested for violating, if I remember correctly.
