CRAZY ROUNDS IDEAS
FREE SPEECH ON THE
CAPITOL HILL LAWN
This project is all about raising awareness of cancer's dramatic numbers with monthly rounds of wildly creative "street actions" meant to shame & humiliate Congress into doing the right thing. The 12-month, 12-round format means every month we need a new way to highlight those cancer numbers & build momentum, with rounds 3-thru-7 being the craziest rounds for ideas.. The last half of the battle as we get into later rounds should make the cancer issue increasingly more personal, more emotionally powerful connections. For now these ideas are just possibles to get ideas flowing & hopefully build towards the mass support necessary to move Congress to double cancer research funding. We are the people without power, with no individual political clout. This is an open source people focused rebellion....

LATE ROUNDS
If the KOcancerMOVEMENT & CancerPunk can make it to the later rounds, 10-thru-12, & Congress still hasn't committed to doubling cancer research funding, then we gotta get personal, getting the dead to speak for us.
Time heels after a cancer loss. You find a way to move forward & maybe for some to forget. Everybody has their own way of 'dealing with it' so reopening old wounds requires care & compassion. But what might happen if we can bring those lost loved ones back to speak, as we fight for them. Their amazing numbers, their pain, our pain, our loss, powered up to make political leaders finally feel. Could it be therapeutic? What strength could we find in rallying the dead numbers into a political force, their faces, their stories, reborn to make Congress wake up..
We'd love to hear your cancer story, see your pictures, connect in our shared experiences.

CAN CALMNESS CREATE COMPASSION?
Silent PunkShaming meditation. Can we get over 1644 volunteer souldiers to sit on the Capitol Hill steps in a silent all day meditation? Anyone, any age, all we'd ask if we can perhaps coordinate dress robes for the visual effect.

It's a very powerful hype when the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team do their pre-game Haha, a Tongan war chant used to physche opponents out. If we can get an all ages mix of folks to rehears e, then perform on outdoors on Capitol Hill...
