Feb 16: Protest for a Referendum on the Security & Prosperity Partnership
PROTEST THEME - THE CONSENSUS IS THAT JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY LOVES THE IDEA! SO...
THE JELLY BEAN PROTEST FOR A REFERENDUM ON THE SPP
Encourage all to bring a clear plastic water bottle maybe half-way filled with jelly beans. Serves two purposes - to be used as noisemakers (like maracas). Basically its pitching Harper's lying words back in his face. For those of you who don't know, Harper used the example of the manufacture and sale of jelly beans in the US and Canada in order to ridicule and minimize the concerns of Canadians on the SPP.
Also, because it will be cold in a lot of places and people will be wearing gloves, clapping won't be very effective!
At the very least it should get the attention of the media if every protest does it.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A CAP INITIATIVE. ALL ARE WELCOME IF THEY AGREE THAT WE NEED A REFERENDUM AND EVERYTHING MUST BE HALTED UNTIL THAT HAPPENS.

It's rather ironic that those opposed to the SPP will use a tool made by the same goons that are trying to force the SPP down our throats, but there's that old saying of "keep your friends close and your enemies closer", which may be what FB is all about.
