This White House has no respect for the American people what so ever. It's documents like this that really scare the crap out of me, and I hope they scare you as well:
Link to a PDF of the Advance Manual
Above is a link to the official 'Presidential Advance Manual' ; which details how to deal with various aspects of planning for presidential appearences. Because we only have a total of 6-7 full pages out of the 103 page document, we can only guess at what (other) secrets this document holds. Please read this for yourself from the link above, but here are some alarming points of interest / anger :
From Pg. 34
Preventing Demonstrators
As mentioned, all Presidential events must be ticketed or accessed by a name list. This is the best method for preventing demonstrators. People who are obviously going to try to disrupt the even can be denied entrance at lease to the VIP area between the stage and main camera platform. That does not mean that supporters without tickets cannot be given tickets at the door and gain entrance to the event. It is also not the responsibility of the Secret Service to check the tickets of the people entering. They are concerned whether the person is a threat physically to the President and not a heckler. It is important to have your volunteers at a checkpoint before the Magnetomters in order to stop a demonstrator from getting into the event. Look for signs that they may be carrying , and if needs be, have volunteers check for folded cloth signs that demonstrators may be bringing to the event.

Preparing for Demonstrators
There are several ways the advance person can prepare a site to minimize demonstrators. First, as always, work with the Secret Service and have them ask the local police dept. to designate a protest area where demonstrators can be placed, preferably not in view of the event site or motorcade route.
(erased stuff, but no redacted marks)
The formation of "Rally Squads" is a common way to prepare for demonstrators by countering their message. This tactic involves utilizing small groups of volunteers to spread favorable messges using large hand held signs, placards, or perhaps a long sheet banner, and placing them in strategic areas around the site.
These squads should be instructed always to look for demonstrators. The Rally Squad's task is to use their signs and banners as shields between the demonstrators and the main press platform. If the demonstrators are yelling, rally squads can begin and lead supportive chants to drown out the protesters (USA! USA! USA!). As a last resort, security should remove the demonstrators from the event site. The Rally Squads can include, but are not limited to, college/young republican organizations, local athletic teams, and fraternitites / sororitites.
For larger rallies, the squads should be broken into groups of approx. 15-25 people. A squad should be placed immediately in front of the main camera platform, close to the cut platform, immediately behind the stage area (if people are being used as a backdrop) and at least one squad should be 'roaming' througout the perimeter of the event to look for potential problems.ors. Always check with local police to inquire of any demonstration permites issued prior to a visit.
Being aware of Demonstrators
It is importand for the Advance Team and all volunteers to be on the lookout for potential demonstrators. Volunteers should be instructed to conact the Advance person on site (whether it is the Lead, Press or Site Advance) when they see demonstrators.
From pg. 35
Handling Demonstrators
Once a group of demonstrators has been identified, the advance person must decide what action to take. If it is determined that the media will not see or hear them and that they pose no potential disruption to the event, they can be ignored. On the other hand, if the group is carrying signs, trying to shout down the president, or has potential to cause some greater disruption to the event, action needs to be taken immediately to minimize the demonstrator's effect.
Before reacting to demonstrators, the Advance person should inform the rest of the Advance Team, the Tour Director, and the Press Advance Director of the situation. Be prepared to give the number of demonstrators, location(s), a description, and their issue/organization.
If demonstrators appear to be a security threat notify the Secret Service immediately. If demonstrators appear likely to cause only a political disruption, it is the Advance person's responsibility to take appropriate action. Rally Squads should be dispatched to surround and drown out demonstrators immediately.
Remember -avoid physical contact with demonstrators! Most often, the demonstrators want a physical confrontation. Do not fall into their trap! Also, do not do anything or say anything that might result in the physical harm to the demonstrators. Before taking action, the Advance person must decide if the solution would cause more negative publicitythan if the demonstrators were simply left alone.
.....wake up folks. This shit has gone on for years ; it's just that THIS administration wrote it INTO POLICY. These amazing facts are only free for us to see now because the ACLU filed a freedom of info act on the Government to obtain just what you can see above from our link to the ACLU's copy. If this doesn't piss you off, you aren't paying attention.
