Bags
(for doorknob distribution)

Plastic doorknob bags to put your flyers in are available through Associated Bag Company. You must order them in lots of 2,000. Call 1-800-926-6100. Ask for item # 50-2-02. These bags measure 6&1/2" x 12" The cost per 1,000 bags is $11.40 So if you order 2,000 bags it comes to a total of $22.80. If you order 6,000 or more bags, the cost per 1,000 is even lower. The company will get your bags to you in just a couple of days. To see their website go to http://www.associatedbag.com.

Billboards

If you have a Unit or a proto-Unit with the means and opportunity, you might wish to rent a highway roadside billboard to display the life rune and the National Alliance website address. Check into this before automatically dismissing it as unfeasible or impossible.

Bumper Stickers

Bumper stickers can be attached to magnetic strips that can be bought in most craft stores for a couple of bucks, if your vehicle still has a metallic bumper, so they can be easily removed and replaced at will. They can also be placed on velcro inside the back window.

Copying

1) Pay in cash.

2) Never do more than 1000 copies at one place.

3) Never make color copies. All color copies are imprinted with a serial number that will be traced back to the shop where they are copied.

Eavesdropping or Bugging (signs of covert)

-- Others know your confidential business or professional trade secrets.

-- Strange sounds or volume changes on your phone lines.

-- Static, popping, or scratching on your phone lines.

-- Sounds coming from your phone's handset when it's hung up.

-- Phone often rings and nobody is there or a tone/beep is heard.

-- Your radio or television has suddenly developed strange interference.

-- Secret meetings and/or bids seem to be less than secret.

-- People seem to know your activities when they shouldn't.

-- You have been the victim of a burglary, even if nothing was taken.

-- Electrical wallplates appear to have been moved slightly or "jarred."

-- Dime-sized discoloration has suddenly appeared on the wall paint.

-- White dry-wall dust/debris is noticed on the floor next to the wall.

-- Small pieces of ceiling tiles, or "grit" is noticed on the floor, or on the surface area of your desk.

--Nails and screws previously covered with paint are scraped off or loose.

--You notice that the phone company trucks/"employees" are spending a lot of time doing repair work near your home or office.

--Telephone, cable, plumbing, or air conditioning repair people show up to do work when no one had called them.

--Your door locks suddenly don't "feel right" or are broken.

--Furniture has been moved slightly, and no one knows why.

--Service or delivery trucks are often parked nearby with nobody in them.

--Things "seem" to have been rummaged through, but nothing is missing. Certain types of items have "just appeared" in your office or home, but nobody seems to know how they got there.

-- Indoor pets are mysteriously let outside.

Guns Every pro-White should have a rifle of military caliber, a shotgun, and a handgun, along with adequate supplies of ammunition for each.

Consider a Ruger Mini-14 ranch model with some personal modifications and accessories to suit your individual taste. It's a battle-proven .223 (5.56 mm NATO) calibre weapon that's much more rugged and dependable than either an M-16 or an AR-15 or any of their variants. Thirty-round and even ninety-round drum clips still available.

Consider a Remington 870 Marine Magnum, stainless, matted,with all-synthetic polymer stock and foregrip. It's the U.S. Marine-issue combat shotgun, pump action, holds eight rounds of 12" gauge, and can be modified and accessorized to suit individual preferences. Or a Mossberg 500A Intimidator 5-shot pump 12 gauge with just the pistol-grip bullpup configuration, for clearing rooms in confined spaces.

Consider a Glock Model 20 10mm, more stopping power than a .45 or a 9mm, and with pre-ban clips, equal capacity. The F.B.I. and the D.E.A. were both in the process of converting to the 10mm Glock, when they discovered that their affirmative-action-spawned female agents couldn't handle the 10mm's recoil and were getting their dainty wrists fractured, so both agencies scaled down to the .40 S&W caliber. It's nice to have the competition outgunned.

Leaflets and the Law

The crucial thing to remember is that the police must catch you in the act of applying a sticker or dropping a leaflet. It doesn't matter if you have twenty in your hand and a bundle of 1000 in your car, so long as you aren't actually witnessed putting them up and you don't admit to it, you're okay.

Most people want to take a Constitutional stand and admit to it. Don't. Make them prove you did it. Don't cop a plea. Make them take it to trial. Most departments and courts won't be enthusiastic about generating the negative publicity and making race an issue for the papers, where they'll be seen by many as being pro-censorship and anti-White. If they're willing to go the expense of a trial to get a conviction against stickering or leafleting, then that in itself is a victory for us. Imagine the letters to the editor, protests and demonstrations, and media chaos we could create. In such a case, you have the right to cross-examine the arresting officer yourself. Some questions to ask him would be:

-- What made him want to investigate the stickering that you are alleged to have done?

-- Was he ever instructed by a superior officer to be on the lookout for certain types of stickers or leaflets?

-- Had he and other officers ever discussed the same kind of leaflets or stickers before?

-- Has he ever seen stickers or leaflets advertising merchandise, concerts, runaway teen help lines, or any other stickers of a non-racial nature stuck in similiar places?

-- If so, did he investigate them and attempt to make an arrest? If not, why not?

-- Would he have arrested you if he had suspected you of putting up stickers advertising the friends of state troopers' benevolent association?

-- If the stickers were put on private property, such as phone booths and bus stop benches, ask if he had received a complaint from the property owner. If not, ask him if he had asked the private property owner whether the person who put the stickers up had permission to do so. If not, why not?

It's also crucial to never, ever remove any stickers or leaflets, whether you've placed them there or not. Doing so is tantamount to an admission of guilt and a surrender of any and all rights you may have.

Summary of court cases on leafletting...

Here are some cases which involve the legality of distributing political/religious literature:

1) Jamison vs. Texas, 318 US 141 (1943) and Marsh vs. Alabama, 326 US 501 (1946): a state or municipality may NOT ban the distribution of leaflets on street, sidewalks, or public places.

2) Papish vs. University of Missouri, 410 US 667 (1973): the same rule applied to Universities, both public and private.

3) Flower vs. U.S., 407 US 197 (1972): leafleting can NOT be prohibited on a military base in areas of public access.

4) Martin vs. Struthers, 319 US 141 (1943): Door-to-door solicitation for the purpose of distributing information may NOT be banned regardless of the wishes of the householder to receive information in this manner.

5) Opelika vs Jones, 319 US 105 (1943): A state or municipality may NOT tax or license the distribution or sale of political or religious material door to door.

6) In shopping center cases, the Supreme Court has said that privately owned property may be treated as if it is publicly owned where it is held open to the public.

Press Releases Your press release must contain enough news to capture the attention of an editor or it will wind up in the trashcan. Before you send a press release, ask yourself these questions:

1. Is there something special about this press release that will catch the attention of the media?

2. Is the content worthy of notice?

The purpose of a press release is to get your information in front of the media. Distributing a press release is no guarantee that the media will use your release.

In writing a release, get to the point right away. The first paragraph should answer the questions Who? What? Where? When? Why? Media folks get hundreds of press releases every day. The first paragraph should inform them of the purpose of the press release. Your job is to make yours stand out from the rest.

1. Use the headline to tell the reader why this news is important. The headline determines whether the reader will continue to read the rest of the press release. The headline should be short and catchy and written in all capital letters. Use a sub-headline to support the headline.

2. Write clearly and concisely, and limit jargon. Use short paragraphs with simple and direct sentences. Put the most important information at the beginning of the article. A press release is written in an inverted triangle style. The most important information comes first. Editors cut from the bottom when an article does not fit in the space allocated.

3. Answer the questions Who? What? Where? When and Why? in the first paragraph. The introductory paragraph should open with the location from where the release is distributed and the release distribution date.

When sending an email press release, keep the format simple and basic. Use a standard 10-point Courier font and keep the width of each line of the message to less than 65 characters.

Use a short, catchy phrase in the subject line. If you want the editor open it and read, it your first job is to get the editor to open it.

Online press releases: NEVER send an email press release as an attachment file. The editor might not have the program you use to create the file and will be unable to read it. As viruses are commonly transferred through attached files, many editors will not open them. It makes more work for the editor. If the editor opens the file, make sure your press release is the first thing she sees. Use the same fundamental elements of a regular press release. Be sure to include your URL and email address. When using your URL use the "http://" prefix to convert it to a hyperlink.

To further enhance your relationship with the press, develop an online pressroom. Keep copies of your print press kit materials online so that journalists interested in you or your company can access your press kit immediately. More mainstream media are looking at websites for story ideas. Your online pressroom can also reduce printing and mailing costs.

What's the secret to getting media coverage? Supply the news stories the media needs in an interesting and newsworthy manner.

Stickers

Some people place stickers just out of reach of anyone who might casually walk by and wish to remove them, to make them work for it. Other people carry a can of clear enamel to spray on stickers that they want to stay up for a long, long time. In areas where stickers are regularly torn down by anti-White thugs, some people have reportedly carried with them a small can of epoxy resin glue to which they have added a large quantity of finely ground glass. Slapping some of this on any surface to which a sticker or leaflet is to be applied creates problems for any ARA terrorist or Jew who reaches out to try and tear them off with its fingers.
