So how to be heard above the din of drummers? Protesters borrowed a technique from other low-fi organizers. When someone wanted to speak, she would yell, ?Mike check!? The people nearby would repeat it, and the speaker would give a short statement before passing the ?mike.? Funny enough, this worked. Protesters (well, most of them) got to be tighter public speakers, avoiding the rambling that can so easily drag down a rally. The ?people?s microphone? went nationwide, with Occupiers using it to shout down President Obama, Newt Gingrich, and Chris Christie. At long last in 2011, this was a technical failure that actually got results.
