The Houston Tea Party Society recently announced their plans to organize a protest in response to Nancy Pelosi’s June 12 Houston visit dubbed “Protest Pelocchio”. Pelosi is a scheduled speaker at the Progressive forum, which claims to be “America’s only civic speaker organization dedicated expressly to progressive values.”
In their usual top-notch methods, the Houston Tea Party Society remind attendees of some basic guidelines to execute a succesfull protest.
This is an entirely peaceful protest. The best way to show displeasure is simply showing up in sheer numbers and having a resulting headline in the news. Please help keep a good reputation for Houston Activism. Now for the important serious stuff.
Signs cannot be on sticks and poles. This is a city rule, as they are something that could be used as a weapon. Please keep signs tasteful, no threats, racism… etc… be smart and clever! Please no sound amplification.
We cannot block traffic or pedestrians. Absolutely do not directly engage anyone. No harrassment, accosting, threats, or throwing anything at anyone. Don’t make anyone into a martyr.
We must be fluid and may need to move around. Organizers and Volunteers from ours and other local Tea Party organizations will be trying to help direct and keep order in the crowd.
If you plan to attend please RSVP at the facebook page.
