On July 11, 1972, the Zippies, accompanied by
some Yippies, had a march and demonstration known as
"Know Your Candidate Parade", It started at Flamingo Park
and proceeded to the Convention Center and at the Convention
Hall area, they had slogans such as “Laugh-In for Muskie",
"Yawn-In for Mills", "Toke-In for Chisholm", “Egg-In for Humpty
Dumpty”. Also they talked about "Putting Teddy in the
Driver's Seat", and talked about a moat on the north side
of the convention complex as the "Mary Jo Kopechne Causeway”.
The demonstration ended with a Wallace Wheelchair Race.
There was a substantial crowd and numerous demonstrators
from other factions jined in. There was no trouble or
violence.
On July 11, 1972, the Zippies participated,along
with several other groups, in a demonstration at the Doral
Hotel, Miami Beach, and it started around 1:30 P.M., with
around 100 people. Later in the afternoon and evening, it
swelled to about 500. The purpose of this demonstration was
(1) for MC GOVERN to speak to them about his statement that
he was going to leave a residual corps of troops in Vietnan,
(2) they wanted MC GOVERN to sign and endorse the SDS anti-
racism bill, and (3) they wanted to make their feelings known
about an incident on July 9, 1972, when a black woman was
struck by an automobile driven by E. C. RAVENHOLT, a HUMPHREY
delegate and administrative aide to Senator INOUYE of Hawaii.
Late in the afternoon, about 20 Gay Activists entered the
lobby and were cheering “Justice for Gays". MC GOVERN
eventually appeared and talked tothem later in the evening,

microphone and asked MC GOVERN about heroin. Several
organizations were represented, and they took turns asking
MC GOVERN questions, There was no violence and no arrests,
