TBTM needs "Secret Service" Agents in San Francisco Oct 25th
Take Back the Media in conjuction with People to People TV and International ANSWER is attending the Oct 25th National Protest against the Pentagon in San Francisco and we need athlethic men (in San Francisco) wearing Black Suits and Black glasses to run along side our 1937 Rolls Royce and talk into their sleeves just like REAL Secret Service guys -- while I dress up like Dick Cheney (mask and suit) and my pal dresses up like a flying monkey -- specifically in a flight suit with AWOL stitched on the back and a helmet that says "Chicken Hawk in Chief"..

I'll be throwing out money from the back of the car (911 Deception dollar - the BILLION dollar version) and we'll all be having a good time :)

If you have a black suit and glasses and want to be involved contact us at info@takebackthemedia.com and let us know.. we need at least four men, but I feel that the more we get, the more fun and sinister it looks at the same time.

If you want to see what the car and we look like go to http://www.takebackthemedia.com/noprotest.html and see the flash movie from when we did it in Santa Barbara -- people went completely nuts and it was a real MOMENT - shades of Abbie Hoffman and street theatre --

Email us, the 25th isn't far away, and welcome aboard if you can make it!

1. What a riot!
Loved the flash movie! Now, if you could just get some press coverage, eh? I love the Secret Service idea. The more you have, the better!

2. Yeah, we're alerting the press in
San Fran -- we're also going to be doing the same thing, sans parade, in New York City on WALL STREET with REAL MONEY attached to the 911 Deception dollar -- this will avoid "littering" fines :)

Gonna be fun watching those Wall Street guys diving on money, just like when Abbie Hoffman did it in the NY Stock Exchange..

hope I won't have to go into hiding after that, but then again, dressed as Dick Cheney it would make perfect sense, eh? :)

4. how cool!
there are quite a few DUers meeting up that day for the march, too. Sadly, I am 99.9% sure I don't have the required black suit.. :evilfrown:

if you guys want to meet up and hang out with us afterwards, check the Activism forum, or PM me or Proud Patriot for the location(s)

5. Love the idea.
Keep it kicked. There are a lot of DU'ers in the SF bay area. They probably haven't seen this yet. Everyone seems to be caught up in da baseball.

11. That's an awesome idea!
Well, if I was male and in SF I would definitely do it. I can't wait to see the video of it and I hope you get coverage. I love these street theater events. It certainly livens up a protest. Good luck!

Here's what a group did recently in Chicago

23. Dammit!
You guys have all the fun!

In my little N. Florida town, I'm subjected to billboards of Joe "Dead Sect'y" Scarborough condescendingly reminding the masses that even if he's "on his television show", he's a part of a law firm that cares about them!

Put your show on the road and make your first stop the GOP stronghold I'm stuck in; I can guarantee my participation! ;-)
