I don't know anything about effective protest, but I'm willing to learn.
I have ideas. I need experience.
Idea 1: The aim is to bring the troops home now. Everything else is secondary. All ideology is far away. In every action I must ask myself, "which alternative brings me closer to my goal?"
Idea 2: My method is by protest. I am looking grow our number.
Idea 3: Any American who wishes to bring the troops home now is my ally.
Idea 4: Turn away no ally. I must make efforts to be inclusive.
Idea 5: I prefer to spend my energy recruiting allies to fighting trolls. When I encounter the entrenched opposition, if they appear intractable I will sidestep them and continue my quest. I would rather get two people who are sympathetic to the cause to take action than to waste my energy battling with one who is not.
Idea 6: Actions are louder than words. My method is protest (see idea 2).
Idea 7: I must keep the movement pure. I have one goal, and only one goal.
Idea 8: I will arm myself with facts. They will be my armor.
