I want to protest George Bush either on the roof of my school or on the ground if I must, but wanted to know my rights for when I do so. What can I not do. Do I need a permit. Do I need to stay off of certain property?
I can only find a general outline for protesting, found at this link:

RULES FOR PROTESTING
No violence, no threats, no profanity, no racism, no law-breaking.
Law enforcement officers must be treated with respect.
Stay out of the street at all times, except when using a crosswalk with the traffic light.
Do not block the sidewalk to pedestrian traffic. Keep your signs from hanging over into the street.
Do not block the signs of, nor get within 10 feet of, pro-Gore demonstrators. Do not interfere with any media coverage of them. Our First Amendment rights are their rights, too.
Any arguments should be at 10 feet away to avoid conflict arising from passions on both sides. If you choose to get close to them physically, do so in friendship as fellow Americans only.
Do not give the middle finger, call people jerks, tell them to go home or get a job.
Take the high road. Be civil, but resolute. Give the 3 finger "Dubya" salute; point out the rudeness of Gore supporters (a thumbs down or "Gore won" cry is not rude) by chanting, "Mean spirited arrogant condescending liberal".
Remember, we are here to support the rule of law under the U.S. Constitution. These protest rules have stood us well for the past two years in front of the White House and across the nation.
Thank you for standing up for America,

***You cannot go onto private property or the school roof. I'm not sure about the school grounds but they may ask you to leave the school grounds.
