Perhaps Large signs (like billboards) depicting the verbatim language of the legit petitions and an announcement of such

Maybe coming up with a secret (by this I mean not revealed until the day of), and difficult to quickly replicate, symbol for the petitions. Inform people that all legit petitions will have the xxxxx symbol with yyyyy color/feature at the top.

"official" teaparty t-shirts/dress code. Make announcements in the papers/fliers before hand that procedures will be in place and announced by said named person on the day of the rally. The day of the rally announce often. Some posers may trick a few but it will be difficult if a little creativity is used and only REPUTABLE establishments (or dIY) are used to make teaparty related items.

Designated booths for legit petitions (so people that don't feel confortable with canvassers will have a "safe" place to sign).

Maybe have video-cameras to spot out the trolls. Inform law-enforcement (and video the attemps) that they are attempting to provoke peaceful demonstrations and attempting to incite violence. If there are any local press try to get them in the shots too so they can't focus on the trolls and pretend the troublemakers are conservatives.

Then there is the fact Arizona is a gold star OPEN CARRY state......multitudes of armed conservatives may make some liberals think twice before causing trouble. Just saying. (THIS IS IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM INCITING OR IMPLYING ANYONE SHOULD THREATEN ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WITH VIOLENCE)

Don’t sign any petitions.

Right:

*Sign no petitions
*Be Polite
*No littering
Result: the ACORNites will be easy to spot.

Indeed. Most of the people involved in these tea parties have never protested anything before in their lives. They are angry and feel helpless and by doing the tea parties, they are meeting like-minded people. As the movement grows (which it is, exponentially), it will make waves. Patience will be rewarded.

We also need to designate people who`ll try to quietly infiltrate any questionable groups.

Contact the Missouri Highway Patrol for a complete set of directions.

Don’t sign anything until you read it.

ping. Could happen in Denver, too, I suppose.

Whatever happened to our friends at Protest Warrior? They were always good with the counter-insurgencies.

These people think “Rules for Radicals”, a book dedicated to (among other things) Satan is a guide to governing affairs. It is one of the most amoral and immoral things I have ever read.

If they subscribe to that book (and they do) there is no evil that they are not capable of.

“Anyone else have any ideas?”

Big sign with an Acorn and a red line thru it....with the caption ‘NUT BUSTERS’.

I agree with you. Take a stealth camera shot of the petition and then announced shots of the petitioners. Then turn it in to the DAs. It would also be good to get some video and audio from them asking them about their petitions.

(I know I’m sneaky in proposing this, but we have to do something.)

We would have to stop using deoderant, bathing and shaving. I’m not ready to give up basic hygiene yet.

Protest Warrior was great. Very clever group.

As longs as CBS, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC are alive and kicking - we are screwed. We need to have mass cancellations of cable and sat TV. Most people will not do it because they would rather watch TV than protect their kids future. The newspapers are dying but network TV will save Mugabe II. Drudge is another sellout.

I have already infitrated several animal rights groups here in the Seattle area.

It really is a lot of fun.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Go to your local biker bar and post a request of bodies you want to have. Promise them free drinks, maybe some cash and request them to make ACORN's representatives life miserable.
Then sit back and enjoy the show!

What comes around goes around, just like the Democrats operate. Folks we HAVE to take off the velvet gloves and go down and dirty, and man the trenches.This is the only way we going to win anything in the political arena.

Remember..."Nice guys always finish last"!

BTW pay attention to my tag line...it has become very true under Obama dictatorship!

No,I mean at the events.If you dress the part (Birkenstock liberal or Khaki radical) and say the correct PC drivel,they`ll buy you as a fellow lefty.I`ve done it before at freeps in Chicago.

"... . Also, announcing that all real volunteers will be happy to have their picture taken, so if you believe anyone to be a fake volunteer, please take their picture and send it to us. ..."

Also try to get a picture of the text of the petition.

Same type of idea: carry a camcorder. If they ask you to sign a petition, say “Maybe, but since you’re asking for info from me, first I’ll need to videotape you and you need to show proof of identification.” Then, of course, don’t sign anything.
