This seems odd to me.  If you have to explicitly tell people who are
effectively volunteering to represent your cause, that they need to be
polite when talking to people, it kind of makes me wonder whether the
campaign is doomed from the start.

Not that I care; Western governments seem to be increasingly flagrant
about their disregard for public opinion.  I question the effectiveness
of any grass-roots campaign.

For that matter, who cares about what the government says?  It's high
time for some anarchy, says I.
