March 20 Protest

Rules and Regulations for March 20 Protest <!--break--> March 20th Rules & Regulations During the course of the demonstration, some of you may feel frustrated and powerless. In order to help you channel that anger in a constructive way. the organizing sub-committee has suggested the following slogans which you may like to chant: JOBS, JOBS, JOBS NOT BOMBS! BUSH AND CHENEY! - OUT, OUT, OUT! THE PEOPLE UNITED WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED! NOTE: The following chants are not acceptable: "Burn it down, burn it down, burn that fucker to the ground!", "George Bush he's no good, hit 'em in the head with a piece of wood". In order to prevent any possible disorder, we ask all marchers to keep a reasonable distance between themselves and other marchers. This is the only way to prevent groups of people from becoming aware of their collective strength. The march will be flanked on both sides by uniformed monitors. Please do not break the formation, and do NOT, on any account, attempt to communicate with passers-by, without prior authorization from the publicity sub-committee. It is vital that we walk slowly and with dignity, in order to preserve our passivity. RUNNING IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. Unfortunately there will be people here bent on discrediting the March 20 demonstration. They will encourage you to express your anger directly, rather than though the proper democratic channels. They may try to destroy property (embassies, government buildings, police stations, large shops, etc.). They may launch unprovoked attacks on the police, on bank windows or passing businessmen. They may even suggest that you join them in burning down City Hall. COMRADES, WHATEVER THEY SAY, IGNORE THEM! If you spot any extremists, do not approach them, but inform the monitors or the police, who are authorized to take appropriate action. March 20 events are the culmination of months of planning aimed at achieving maximum boredom, as a gesture of solidarity with the people on whose behalf we are marching. Beware of people who are out to sabotage that planning. You may hear talk about "enjoyment" and "everyday life" as if these things are as important as today's protest. You may see people running, singing, shouting, and refusing to behave in a peaceful passive manner, You may even want to do these things yourself. RESIST THE TEMPTATION. Comrades, it is ORDER, DISCIPLINE and RESTRAINT which will being victory, not the free expression of your desires. With your coroperation, we can make March 20 a massive success, and start building for a repeat performance next year.
