MoveOn! BUY tons of disposable cameras and distribute at Peace March in DC
Edited on Thu Sep-22-05 02:09 PM by symbolman
Someone, anyone, MoveOn.org, True Majority, Air America Radio, Soros, etc..

BUY Thousands of disposable cameras NOW and distribute them to EVERYONE you can attending the Peace Rally in DC - do it TODAY, just show up tomorrow and hand them out - we need EVERYONE ARMED WITH CAMERAS in case we see a mini Kent State erupt..

Call it the 21st Century Camera Brigade and ARM them - a picture tells a thousand words, and film doesn't LIE!!

Please folks, pass this along to any and all message boards you can, it's important, call Air America Radio if you have a number that will get you on the air - contact the above Sites, go to their communities and post it everywhere..

This MAY save lives - I was there at the WHite House gate with Conyers and CO and it was a stand off with cameras on both sides of that fence, and you know what? THEY CAVED QUICK!!

Got some money? BUY TWO cameras and give one away.. Hell, we'll host them at Takebackthemedia.com if you've got some real goodies and a story behind it..

More importantly tho, ARM YOURSELVES with Cameras - The New Minute Men (and women) coming to the aid of their country (plus we'll have any head whacking bastards ON FILM from 20 angles for court, etc.

PLEASE SPREAD THIS CONCEPT, and stay PEACEFUL!

ALso PLease KICK this so People SEE it, just do me that one favor, just this once, okay? :)

1. That's a really good idea
Not only for keeping the fuzz in line, but also b/c it will increase the chances that there will be lots of tender, heartwarming photos for all to see.

3. I'll be there with bells on - and my digital camera.
I can hardly wait! I hope it is peaceful and beautiful like the Cindy vigil I attended.

4. Also because the corporate media will downplay the
actual numbers.

There may be millions, but the M$M will say it's only hundreds.

Prove them WRONG!

6. Use lots of camera phones, extra batteries, memory cards.
Charge all batteries. Bring extra batteries. Bring camera phones. Send pictures early and often.

Give full memory cards to friends without cameras.

Download / upload frequently.

For film, prepare pre-stamped addressed envelopes so you can drop film off in mailboxes addressed to friends at undisclosed locations.

Arrange runners to run memory cards to off site laptops and run fresh ones back to key photographers.

10. I hope a lot of people
will also bring video cameras. Pictures are good, but videos are better!

15. They have cameras in like Walmart
or any local drugstore for 3-5 bucks anymore, maybe 24 pics can be shot in one..

sometimes they have them in packs like at Costco so you can share with a friend or a complete stranger :)

19. If you have a camera with a remote link up, take it.
At least take spare memory chips and film. That way when they confiscate your camera (and don't cops always?) you still have the evidence.

22. Kicking and nominated. I just fed'exed an overnight package to
Hadi who will be there representing The Crawford Peace House. I couldn't make it. I'll be happy to give someone $50. to buy the cameras and pass them out, just pm me and tell me how to get it to you, a gift card maybe?

If you are going to San Fran instead, keep an eye out for Kay Lucas, the Director of The Crawford Peace House. Take good care of her for me, okay? Thanks, I know you will. She is going to be speaking. Surprise her, go up to her, introduce yourself and tell her that anarchy1999 asked you to give her a hug and a kiss and tell her you are from DU.

24. it's SO important for documentation...
the media might do some brief coverage, but we need to get some pictures up on the net ASAP. This is the main value IMO. Also it will deter those who might feel they can get away with
intimidation and abuse.

36. Store and source your digital/digitized pics from photobucket.com
http://www.photobucket.com

is an easy site to use and provides convenient auto-generated URLs and links for all pics. You have to sign up but it's easy.

Have a blast everyone!
