DESCRIPTION:City Council recently refused to pass a non-binding recommendation that 
 their new Obama Armored Attack Vehicle not be used against peaceful 
 protesters. This refusal amounts to a de facto declaration of civil war 
 against the People of Santa Cruz by the Santa Cruz City Council. \nThis 
 moral outrage is completely unacceptable.\n\nIt is time for us to get 
 serious about protecting our 1st Amendment right to protest.\nIt is time 
 for us to design protests that deny the local government its precious 
 income.\n\nIt is time for us to picket the parking lots 
 downtown.\n\nPickets and boycotts are constitutionally protected forms of 
 protest. They can not be legally stopped by police action. Only by our own 
 laziness, impatience, or lack of discipline. \n\nThe City gets income from 
 several parking lots downtown, the more people who participate, the more 
 parking lots we can picket. \n\nPickets can be time consuming compared to a 
 march or a rally. On the other hand, pickets are far more effective and it 
 only takes a few people to picket a parking lot entrance. It is also very 
 easy to measure how well we are doing by the number of cars who turn away 
 and the number of empty spaces left in the lot.\n\nNOW IS THE TIME ACT. The 
 City also gets income from sales tax, and a parking picket and boycott will 
 likely impact the shopping downtown, in our favor, during the busiest time 
 of the year. \n\nHave a Happy Bill of Rights Day!\n(while you still have 
 some)\n\nBloc the Tank Collective\n\n\n\n\n\n
