Speakers discuss Senator Muskie; make observations such as, that \"every situation has a different solution\"; \"gay groups have the potential of being the most assiduous of all... because we are everywhere\"; and outline tactics, such as disruptions, mingling with crowd, infiltrating candidate's headquarters. Speakers discuss the similarities of the two major parties, and point out the inability of both to cope with the problems besetting America, such as the war in Vietnam, the oppression of minorities, the worsening environment. They also discuss McGovern and Nixon, and call for a new grassroots party such as the Peace and Freedom Party.
