If we surround the convention center with 100k, no signs, just silent presence, will the police try to move us elsewhere?

Good lord....do you honestly think that standing outside and quietly staring at the convention center will have the slightest effect on what goes on inside? Do you not understand the sort of people we're dealing with here?

Hell, friend. We need to muster all the protest signs, noise, and fury that we can summon, in order to get their attention. If some folks get hauled off by the cops, even better. The press will have to report it, and the rebellion will be ON.

The number wont matter, if we are demonstrating, signs and yelling, the police will haul all of us off.

Now if 100K of us stand there and calmly tell delegates to do the right thing and hint, we are coming through that door, OH to L with it lets go through the door and really raise L.

Exactly. Its time to quit pussy footing around with these people and the Tea Party has been way too quiet for too long.

"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." -- Winston Churchill
