<br>
This sounds *great*. I can be there, and stick around
until say a little after 10am. Happy to sift out
appropriate signs from AWARE stash. I can bring maybe
ten signs on foot, or more if someone with a car can come
by our house (1108 Foley) to pick them up. <br>

<div>I have signed up a MoveOn event outside CPL

<div>1) Sign the petition we just put up that we

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2) Come. Signing up would help, but even if
you don't sign up, come anyway.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Signup is here:</div>

<div>3) Bring other people. Again, it would be
helpful if the other people sign up, but even if
they don't, bring them anyway. You can forward
this note to help recruit them. I'm also going
to send recruitment emails on our JFP and MoveOn
lists, and you could forward those if you are on
those lists (there will be less insider detail
than in this note.)</div>

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>4) Bring signs. In particular, I think there
are signs in the AWARE stash that would be quite
appropriate ("No war with Iran," "Don't bomb
Iran," "Give peace a chance," etc.) I'll bring
signs too. Even if you don't have a sign, come
anyway. If you have access to the appropriate
signs in the AWARE stash but can't come, ping me
offlist and I'll come and get them. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>5) Prepare yourself for the possibility of
talking to media and/or being in the media. I am
going to alert the press. I think it's likely
there will be press interest because it's a hot
national topic and the Congressman himself is
going to be there; similar confrontations are
getting press elsewhere. But even if you're not
willing to deal with media, come anyway; you can
stand aside when the time comes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>6) Think about the possibility of "civil
disobedience"/being edgy. I'm not pushing it. If
we just stay outside with our signs, it's ok by
me. But we could be pushier; we could go in with
our signs; we could confront Davis and Shimkus;
it's public property; presumably the Champaign
librarians will be respectful of our First
Amendment rights. We could be a little edgy. I'm
not for major disruption; I think that could
backfire in local public opinion. But I think we
could push the envelope a little and "get away
with it." I'm very open to feedback on this. If
you're not cool with being edgy, or with someone
else being edgy, let me know. I'd rather have
more people participate than be more
confrontational. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>7) Bring your cell phone or other camera.
Take pictures/video and post them on social
media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) Don't consult me
about it; just do it. When you post it, use this
hashtag:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>#NoWarWithIran<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Questions? Ping me back. This is totally
open, there is no assigned program other than
what we agree. </div>
