We really should have taken to the streets in November. If people are messing around with the voting process there will be no need for an election ever. 'Oh, ye of too much faith' in the government. You are using that complacent faith to rationalize so you don't have to get your lazy asses out and make some noise. And re-shaping or redefining the Dems - I can think of better ways to waste time while Dieboldt reconfigures voting machines to write better election result fiction
I hear that a group in Watertown Wisconsin is planning a demonstration on March 19. Good for them, because things of that nature are especially difficult when, even though Wisconsin was a blue state, small cities like Watertown are the well established red spots where a majority of citizens more and more could care less and less about anyone's freedom of speech if it goes against what they think. If you are around Watertown, get in touch with the Watertown Peace and Democracy Coalition (click) to see what they have planned.
There are a bunch of creative ways to demonstrate and protest.
One of my favorites is reported with instructions and examples on Freeway Blogger (click) and of course their motto: "Free speech: Use it or lose it" is one we should all adopt.
Before we work too hard, here is a little site called the Dubya Brain Game.
Here are some potential bumper stickers/T-shirt slogans and designs:
Yee-ha is not a foreign policyAbove "borrowed" from several web sites.
Bush and Truth direction signs pointing in opposite directions
Fear More Years
Why change horsemen mid-apocalypse?
No Surplus Left Behind
Winning hearts and minds. Losing Heads
Can you feel the Draft?
W04 - 4 More Wars
North Korea has nukes but no oil :(
Good thing he's compassionate
Iraqi oil. What's your dead child worth per gallon?
Wears a Wire in Debate
Halliburton Making a Killing
A vote for Bush dishonors our war dead
Threat Level: BUSH
Incompetence & Arrogance = Bush/Cheney
Bush '04, Draft '05
Bush thinks you're a chump
Good thing for Bush all those dead soldiers can't vote!
Operation Enduring Occupation
Fire the Liar
Real Men Admit Mistakes
A picture of Osama next to "I'm not in Iraq morons"
And finally: "Won't Get Fooled Again!"
And here is another "Bush" video game...interesting.
And in case you hadn't seen the sites... A web site almost accidently sufaced when two college fellows felt the need to apologize to the world after the November election. They posted a couple pics of themselves with signs and put them on a page. In short order people began to send in their apologies and the site "Sorry Everybody" took off. Thousands have submitted pics with messages.
But in an effort to express understanding that the current administration does not represent all of the nation's people, another site surfaced "Apologies Accepted" and almost brought tears to my eyes with a variety of individual supportive messages.
On to demonstrations and protests: Well I'm brainstorming. Columnist Harley Sorenson had this set of ideas , but that was in 2003. Let's get to it.
Watertown Wisconsin and others will demonstrate on the anniversary of the 'Shock and Awe' campaign March 19. I hope they and others continue to make matters visible. After the March 19 someone should have a 'Quagmire Accomplished' rally celebrating that April day when more manure than historically documented before was shovelled off the carrier USS Lincoln.
Bye-bye for now,
Cosmo
