"ttts easier to hate in Amerika than to love." , ' ~ Weather proverb The Youth International Party-Yippies have repeatedly denounced anyone who disagreed with them as "police provacateurs" through the straight media. Meanwhile, they have been spending much of their time either massaging their egos in front of the media or attacking the Zippies. ; Back in January, the Youth International Party held its national congress and chose the theme "Zippie! in'72" to distinguish between us and the old Yip- pies (then retired). Since then, we have built toward Miami with rallies, dem- onstrations, smoke-ins, concerts, benefits, regional traveling, newspapers, news services, leaflets, stickers, posters, ads, T-shirts, buttons, balloons, press releases, statements, position papers, press conferences, etc. We put together a national network of people, including the various Y. I. P, chapters and regions. We believe in an on~going organization controlled by the workers culiural revolution, and a serious siruggle aguiusi iuperiziism, racism, sexism, and elitism, in a context cf cosmic good times. Aside from our dem- onstrations for prison reform and abortion reform, we believe in filling the swimming pools of the Fountainbleau with jello, putting Ted in the driver's seat, hiring the handicapped (Zippies for Wallace), and a March for McGovern that would be all right turns. And we are having LBJ Day on July 12. The Demos would like to forget LBJ, now that they have anew glamour boy, but we won't let them. . Meanwhile, a vicious campaign of McCarthyite tactics has taken place against the Zippies, calling us "police provocateurs’ at press conferences, etc. A lot of people are asking why ? The Yippies have been very divisive. We have not generally responded to their McCarthyite tactics, but we're tire of being called police provocateurs. Now we would like to raise a few ques- tions of our own: The Yippies seem to havea lot to protect. What? We don't have the answers. Maybe the Yippies do. 1.
