(The one exception is if all groups >>>in a local area, or on a national basis, decide to select a target for >>>expressing our view of their conduct via phone, fax, e-mail, etc.) >>> >>>Do NOT Argue: Even if someone curses at you . . . be as nice as >>>possible when you say something like, "Gee, I'm really sorry you >>>feel that way, sir/madam."

Keep track of inventory in containers/boxes, etc. >>>You don't want to ruin a great opportunity that you raced out to >>>take advantage of just because someone forgot to restock pencils, >>>pens, petitions, flyers, or other needed goodies. >>> >>>Assign and Share The Different Tasks. Telephone/message >>>updates, relays and alerts, driving, etc. >>> >>>Hold Meetings In Homes and Get To Know Each Other. >>>Besides personal and social benefits (Hey! In case you haven't >>>realized it yet, we will have to rebuild our whole society and >>>economic infrastructure to ultimately prevail), IT HELPS TO >>>IDENTIFY OUR ENEMIES' AGENTS. >>> >>>Keep in Touch With Other Local and National Groups.

Signs and >>>documents should be clear and readable. Try to make them as >>>professional looking as possible. Our signs and displays, when >>>first seen, will thereafter color everyone's perception in every >>>future encounter on this subject. If you want to reach people, >>>speak their language, dress casual but neat, and go light on >>>perfume or cologne. >>> >>>Go to College Campuses: Students may have more time to >>>listen and volunteer. We need to attract new people, and to >>>change the image of who we are. Students obviously will not be >>>as disillusioned and cynical about life experiences. We NEED >>>optimism, energy, enthusiasm, and a future crop of idealistic >>>young Americans. Through this venue we also can start to reach >>>professors and other people working at the schools. WHO >>>KNOWS what interesting research we may find out about. >>> >>>Stand Outside Military Bases: Ask all personnel if they would >>>sign a statement promising they will not shoot at fellow >>>Americans (bring literature re: Nuremberg or similar theme of >>>personal accountability for crimes in historical US documents). >>>Ask if they have received instructions or seen any evidence of >>>plans military may be involved in civil disturbances. Get names, >>>signatures, contact numbers, details, etc. from any active or >>>inactive personnel who have knowledge or evidence of illegal >>>activities. >>> >>>Go to Any Company/Business Where Workers Laid Off, >>>and/or Salary of Top Executives in Millions: There are already >>>picketing workers at Disney because of low wages . . . yet >>>yesterday it was announced Eisner will get $300 million! That is >>>an example of a fuse looking for a match . . . This is a great way >>>to cause dissension in the ranks; with only 1 hour in AM & PM >>>we can catch everyone coming and going to work. People are >>>able to fight back better if we can reach them before they lose >>>their jobs. >>> >>>Churches: Send e-mails and faxes. Write and post letters. >>> >>>Seniors' Age Group Is Very Active In Computing: They have >>>time and can respond to emotional appeal of danger, >>>responsibility, grandchildren, etc. This is the group that won >>>WWII! >>> >>>Quick Tip: If you can identify and concentrate greater attention >>>to convince the most influential member of a particular group, >>>that person will frequently sway many others in a quick ripple >>>effect. >>> >>> >>> >>>SADDLED AND READY TO GO AT DAWN >>> >>>Today some battle plans! No more preaching to the choir. Line >>>up shoulder to shoulder, or step aside. >>> >>>Much of the grassroots components of these plans are adapted >>>from what we effectively used 20 years ago against the >>>overwhelming odds represented by many branches of civil >>>government and the military, combined with the power, oil, gas, >>>coal, $$$ giants, which backed nuclear fission. The Shoreham >>>Nuclear Power Plant, which was financed at a cost of $3-4 >>>billion, was never opened, after they had even loaded the fuel >>>rods. It was bought for $1 by the state of NY, and has stood as a >>>monument to what average citizens can do with the concept of a >>>long-range grassroots campaign. Once started, it doesn't stop >>>until the beast collapses dead. >>> >>>By the end of this week this series by DAWN may well have >>>reached more than 10-20 million Americans through networks of >>>relays, faxes, e-mail, pass-along, radio discussion, etc. >>> >>>THE PHONE IS OUR WEAPON >>> >>>Friends and Relatives: Call everyone you know to pass along >>>this information. Ask them to act in concert with you and 1 >>>million other Americans. >>> >>>The Media: Calls to the media should not be made rashly, or we >>>will lose credibility. If you know of anyone who works with the >>>mainstream media, please ask them the proper way to contact and >>>relay information to the media. Pass that information along and >>>use it carefully. >>> >>>The Advertisers: We don't have to get the media on our side, >>>we already paid for it! Imagine if in one day a million people >>>produced, with their friends, relatives, etc., a phone list. If those >>>1 million people each made 10-20 calls to the most valuable >>>advertisers of a publication or broadcast which provoked their >>>displeasure, on day one each advertiser would have received >>>more serious threats of boycott than they had probably ever >>>received in total previously. Although not intended, it might tie >>>up their phone lines and prevent any sales from being made. >>> >>>Just suppose these people were REALLY TICKED OFF? Heck, >>>this could happen until the advertiser's business was seriously >>>affected, if the advertiser did not take the prudent action of >>>stopping the ads. Well, if there are no ads, then there is no TV, >>>radio or paper, right?
