A simple but powerful suggestion to enhance the

impact of \"occupy\" and similar activism events.

I suggest that patriots, at every \"occupy\" event,

and other events where appropriate, ALL gather

into a military formation in public view, and

slowly and solemnly repeat this part of the military,

police and government official oath:

\"I WILL SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE

CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES

OF AMERICA AGAINST ALL ENEMIES

FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.\"

There is nothing uniquely \"military\" about that

part of the oath! Standing in formation is very

easy to do, and there will be at least one veteran

to assist in any gathering.

\"Defend\" doesn't have to mean violence, either.

There are plenty of peaceful ways to do that,

peacefully \"occupying\" being one.

By SLOWLY and carefully repeating that, OVER

AND OVER, bystanders will hear, and some are

very likely to join in!

Imagine how big a formation might grow if those

in the formation waved passers-by to come join it!

Can you imagine the impact on nearby government

or media office personnel if they kept hearing that

oath being repeated, in ever louder numbers?

May apply in other countries too - most constitu-

tions have excellent guiding principles which are

ignored by their regimes.

God speed!
