| |
| − | Come into the streets on Nov. 5, election dayVote with your feet . Rise up and
| |
| − | abandon the creeping meatball! Demand the bars be open. Make music and
| |
| − | dance at every red light. A festival of life in the streets and parks throughout
| |
| − | the world. The American election represents death, and we are alive.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Come all you rebels, youth spirits, rock minstrels, bomb throwers, bank
| |
| − | robbers, peacock freaks, toe worshippers, poets, street folk, liberated women,
| |
| − | professors and body snatchers: it is election day and we are everywhere.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Don't vote in a jackass‐elephant‐cracker circus. Let's vote for ourselves. Me for
| |
| − | President. We are the revolution. We will strike and boycott the election and
| |
| − | create our own reality.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Can you dig it: in every metropolis and hamlet of America boycotts, strikes, sitins,
| |
| − | pickets, lie‐ins, pray‐ins, feel‐ins, piss‐ins at the polling places.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Nobody goes to work. Nobody goes to school. Nobody votes. Everyone
| |
| − | becomes a life actor of the street doing his thing, making the revolution by
| |
| − | freeing himself and fucking up the system.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Ministers dragged away from polling places. Free chicken and ice cream in the
| |
| − | streets. Thousands of kazoos, drums, tambourines, triangles, pots and pans,
| |
| − | trumpets, street fairs, firecrackers–a symphony of life on a day of death. LSD in
| |
| − | the drinking water.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Let's parade in the thousands to the places where the votes are counted and let
| |
| − | murderous racists feel our power.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Force the National Guard to protect every polling place in the country. Brush
| |
| − | your teeth in the streets. Organize a sack race. Join the rifle club of your choice.
| |
| − | Freak out the pigs with exhibitions of snake dancing and karate at the nearest
| |
| − | pig pen.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Release a Black Panther in the Justice Department. Hold motorcycle races a
| |
| − | hundred yards from the polling places. Fly an American flag out of every house
| |
| − | so confused voters can't find the polling places. Wear costumes. Take a
| |
| − | burning draft card to Spiro Agnew.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Stall for hours in the polling places trying to decide between Nixon and
| |
| − | Humphrey and Wallace. Take your clothes off. Put wall posters up all over the
| |
| − | city. Hold block parties. Release hundreds of greased pigs in pig uniforms
| |
| − | downtown.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Check it out in Europe and throughout the world thousands of students will
| |
| − | march on the USA embassies demanding to vote in the election cause Uncle Pig
| |
| − | controls the world. No domination without representation.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Let's make 2‐300 Chicago's on election day.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | (On election day let's pay tribute to rioters, anarchists, Commies, runaways,
| |
| − | draft dodgers, acid freaks, snipers, beatniks, deserters, Chinese spies. Let's
| |
| − | exorcise all politicians, generals, publishers, businessmen, Popes, American
| |
| − | Legion, AMA, FBI, narcos, informers.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | And then on Inauguration Day Jan. 20 we will bring our revolutionary theater
| |
| − | to Washington to inaugurate Pigasus, our pig, the only honest candidate, and
| |
| − | turn the White House into a crash pad. They will have to put Nixon's hand on
| |
| − | the bible in a glass cage.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Begin now: resist oppression as you feel it. Organize and begin the word of
| |
| − | mouth communication that is the basis of all conspiracies ....
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Every man a revolution! Every small group a revolutionary center! We will be
| |
| − | together on election day. Yippie!!!
