It is important to have your volunteers at a checkpoint before the Magnetometers in order to stop a demonstrator from getting into the event. Look for signs they may be carrying, and if need be, have volunteers check for folded cloth signs that demonstrators may be bringing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.progressive.org\/mag_wx070907\">(Original Article)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Matthew Rothschild, The Progressive After a myriad of stories about people being excluded from events where the President is speaking, now we know that the White House had a policy manual on just how to do so.
