just watched the movie. really good. a little incohesive, but overall it's great. more on that later, i just had an idea. we've been doing internet grassroots stuff for god knows how long and it's not working too well, we need to move into the physical domain, organize, and start doing grassroots. if you care you should help.
1. someone mentioned before about harrassing program parents, and setting up a database of adresses. that is a bad idea....but i have a better, much more legal idea. lets put together a database (sticky) of program heads, the ones running the show. the headmasters, principals, and c.e.o's. it's illegal to put down parents names - as they are private citizens. but headmasters, principals, and c.e.o's are arguably public figures. then, we put together flyers with information about their history. anyone in the vicinity can just download the flyer, make a thousand copies, and put them in all their neighbor's mailboxes, tape them to telephone poles, and give them to the local PD. when they move because their neighbors shun them, get their new adress and repeat. just make sure everything you put on the flyers is true and could not be considered slander - as in you must have either a printed source, or have a number of people willing to testify to the truth in court.
2. develop a martial art designed purely to resist restraint - how to get out of the belt loop, a four/five point restraint. etc. put training vids on youtube.
3. inform middle and high school kids that their freedom may be taken away at any moment. as mentioned in another thread, most kids simply dont belive programs as cruel as they are can exist in the united states, or elsewhere, and that parents actually send kids away. put together flyers, have your younger sibling pass it around their school, or stand outside school yourself passing it around.
anyone else have any ideas?
