as good and logical as your approach is... the direct action approaches we have been using are not working.
Let me tell you what happened at the last protest I attended....
THere was NO COVERAGE and there were 200 demonstrators... but on the same day of the protest they HAPPENED to feature a produced piece about the YOung Conservatives at UT who had stolen Kerry signs and put them in a self- labeled "radioactive" dump box. Not only did the media IGNORE US they featured a group of immature brats on the other side.
Its discouraging. many people have reported that the direct action approach is not working.... so much that the people in power just expect and arrange for protest and reporters just brush us aside.
I don't know what the best course is. What DIRECT course of action do you suggest?
