Black hoodies (sweatshirt with a hood) all around....
Edited on Sun Nov-07-04 03:57 AM by Q3JR4
I say that for three weeks, one for each branch of the government, you and everyone you know wear a black hoodie to protest the results of this election. We could start one week from inauguration day and go until two weeks after it.

The month and a half would give us plenty of time to get the word out and build momentum.

Whether or not any of you agree with me that this is a good idea, I'm going to do it in my home state, and I'm going to get as many people as I can to go along with it.

5. I'll buy one tomorrow and
I plan to wear it until two weeks after the inagoration.

The reason I thought it would be good to aim for then, was to give people enough time to talk to friends and family about it. We need to get the word out and make sure that as many people as possible do it so that our collective voices will be loud and true.

7. I have an old black hoodie from a band that was named the Resistance.
It has silver letters on the back and says The Resistance, and underneath that has an old Colonial flag with a rattlesnake, and says "Don't Tread On Me".

9. Suggestion: K-ILL the media

Buy no newspapers
Buy no Time, no Newsweek
Watch no CNN, FOX, MSNBC, commentary shows
Listen to no radio news except for AAR

Pass it on. Let unsold newspapers pile to the ceiling. Why should they get a dime from us.

11. We need to
Edited on Sun Nov-07-04 04:25 AM by Q3JR4
show the world that the corporate media does not speak for us, that as long as they do attempt to speak for the minority in this country the majority will not support them.

Finally, we need one national symbol to organize under. Something that sets us apart from everyone else around us. M&M seems to have given us a symbol. A black hooded sweatshirt. That is the symbol (unless anyone has any other ideas) that I propose we use.

Each of these isn't exclusive from the other.

15. Black Hoodies Rule!!!
I will be wearing mine A LOT.

It would be wise if we could think of ONE THING to put on the back of it, whether with duct tape or a patch or something. A symbol or a word or words. Something so that people will ask, "what does that mean?" That will get the idea spread far and wide.

18. Slogan for back of black hoodies: NOT ME!
**just like the black bracelet below!

NOT ME! says it all. It says I didn't vote for bush, and it brings out the idea that perhaps the Majority did not vote for bush either,.. which brings in the election fraud theme....

I will put that on my black hoodie.

I can hear the conversation: Not me? say what? "I didn't vote for bush, and I believe that a majority also did not vote for bush." Really, why? Insert educational info here....

Edited on Sun Nov-07-04 05:27 AM by Q3JR4
Let's put (sew, tape, etc) the phrase "Not Me" into the back of them.

10. OHIO FIGHTS BACK: Storms State House!

Did you see this on the news?

November 3 - Toledo, Ohio Hundreds of angry Ohio residents marched through the streets of Columbus—Ohio’s Capital—this evening and stormed the Ohio State House, defying orders and arrest threats from Ohio State Troopers. "O-H-I-O ! suppressed democracy has got to go,"they chanted. After troopers pushed and scuffled with people, nearly a hundred people took over the steps and entrance to the State’s giant white column capital building and refused repeated orders to disperse or face arrest...

13. Stop watching ALL TV
and good idea -- wear hoodies!

Yep I am going all black!

Did you order the black bracelet??

If you can't wear black all the time then wear the black bracelet.

Great idea and part of the proceeds go to DU. $4 each.
