15. Into Camp David => "Parade of Shame" wall of silent Occupiers lining the route?

into Camp David? I don't know much about CD's layout geographically, or the auto routes
in/out of there; which might render this plan logistically not feasible. And it will also depend
on where police and security establish their "parameter", where the public can no longer go.

But the idea would be to just simply line-up 2-3 deep on both sides of the highway with signs maybe,
but mostly just with our heads bowed in silence, rather like the famous "walk of shame" silent protest
they did at Univ. of California Davis when Univ. President was walking to her car.

It wouldn't take many people, and might have a positive impact. ... but there are lots of variables
and unknowns, esp. relating to how police and secret service plan their set-up there and how they
would respond to protesters just outside their parameter.

Just a wild random idea.

Any previous versions of these online? I await clarification on the unpredictable global swarms, heh Leopolds Ghost Mar 2012 #1

My tactical two cents: the answer to the G8 is the G9T9 napoleon_in_rags Mar 2012 #3
Nice acronym. Also: Should, um, whomever really be relying on Adbusters to front for Occupy at every Leopolds Ghost Mar 2012 #4
Referring to Adbusters that is. Leopolds Ghost Mar 2012 #5
