Suggestion for Philly...

...let's just INVITE Medea Benjamin to come in and hold up her banner the whole time.

Make her an "honored guest", maybe.

It'd make us look less heavy-handed than Trump and neutralize any disruptive capacity she might have.

Besides, on foreign policy, she and Code Pink are basically right about most things.

Let's try the "you get more bees with honey" approach on this one.
