I wanna rouse some rabble! - STOP THE WAR RALLY

Dear Everyone;

For those of you involved in the Stop The War Rally - here's a forwarded message from Aster Francesca with a thought for consideration as the capper for the Stop The War Rally event -

Burn his royal highness King George the II in effigy!!!

That'll certainly get the attention of the FBI and Homeland Security and Secret Service Presidential Protection Detail and Government Office Building Polizei - let the news media know in advance what you are planning on doing - as this is the type of eye candy they just love for the in-depth 10 second news bites for 5-6-7-9-10-11.

BTW: Going to have a band there playing a dirge or at least a trumpeter playing Taps for all the fallen dead both military and civilian? How about a dragon dance to scare away the evils of war followed by the traditional firecracker ball to really blast away the demons of war?

BTW: Will there be lots of colorful banners?

A very interesting peice from Charles Johnson's site on the

American Revolution:

Hey, why doesn't someone (say, the anti-war movement) get together

and very publically hang George II* in effigy- perhaps in a
deliberately Colonial style?

If your not-quite-voiced answer is: "I'm afraid what would happen

to me if I did so", then you have discovered the reason someone needs
to do it, before your worried fear is certain fact.

Many, many people I know from friends to colleagues to clients to

random people I meet in the supermarket are beginning to conclude
they truly do need to worry. All of these people would understand
the meaning of a public burning instantly and would all come away
from hearing of one that much more consciously radical.

I know some of you are involved in the anti-war movement. Has

anyone thought of this?

declaring people who would ruin lives for practicing their living
steppe raiders and tyrants beyond the boundaries of civilisation.

Ooops my first message got botched up; so here goes again.

Dear Ron,

Thank you for the suggestion of slash and burn! However, I think the
Stop Funding the War Coalition voted from the start to have a
peaceful rally, such as "the people peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the government for a redress of grievances." I supposed the
idea is to walk the walk; if you call for peace, it would seem to me
strange to do it through any kind of violence. But, that's just my
opinion.

Regards,

Marcy

How about burning a big flag -- not the American flag, but a flag bearing the presidential seal? I think that would send an appropriate message, and get some media attention, without the misguided backlash from some quarters that might greet the burning of "Old Glory," or the implicit message of violence of burning the would-be king in effigy.

  By the way, I also previously raised the idea of having a Libertarian MC (Marc Joffe?) for the event to guarantee the LP some visibility there, but don't recall seeing any responses to this suggestion. What do those involved in planning the rally think about these ideas?
