RLEASE HELP! Suggestions for anti-Bush protest sign needed

[prolesunited]

I'll be protesting Bush Tuesday in Chicago, where he is doing a fund-raiser. I asked for help a month ago for signs for an anti-war protest and I ended up doing a double-sided one based on the suggestions here.

So, I'm asking for help once again. I need both words and visuals.

10. Wow!

That's an impressive list. Did you just come up with all of those?

[TheReligiousLeft]

26. Yup

Although only the first on the spot. The rest I thought of for College Dems T-shirts last year. I'm hoping to actually get a few of them printed out this year.

6. There is a small village...

...in Texas that is missing its idiot.

Posted this in a thread this morning, but, since you asked!

9. Read Amnesty International Report 2002: UN Bombing in N Iraq

what a surprise, huh?
Tell The Truth! Al Qaeda in Kurdish Iraq
No-Fly Zone Caused Al Qaeda in Northern Iraq, Not Saddam!
How Many Iraqi civilians in US Mass Graves?
FRAUD! FRAUD! FRAUD!

11. "Remember America?"

Maybe some subtitle like "remember justice?" or "remember love?" or "remember honesty?" ... Or lots more about what has been destroyed.

I think, I like to believe, that most who now swayed by jingoistic rhetoric are also rather decent sorts who treasure these values and are at least slightly afraid that the America they remember is being poisoned. For them "America" means something like the meaning captured by Woody Guthrie's "This land" - a bit moreso than they might first admit

12. BUSH HATES

Simple, succinct, accurate...

Government Budget Surplus

Don't you miss Bill Clinton?

:toast:

[LTR]

19. Everybody sing!

Na na na na

Na na na na

Hey hey

GOODBYE!!!

See ya on the Freep! Ehh, probably not.

[prolesunited]

21. I'm so stupid

I could only make 33 posts before being detected and tombstoned. :P

20. Use Short Words

They look bigger on a sign. The Who proved this years ago; they could be sharing the bill with, say, The Yardbirds and both band names could be printed in the same size type. One stood way out over the other.

My suggestion would be:

Bu$h
LIES

May all success meet your efforts!

22. August 6, 2001 Never Forget

This was the day Whistle Ass was briefed on a likely, soon to occur, major terrorist attack on a "large scale" target in the US possibly involving hijacked airplanes.

This would be most effective if there were enough such signs to cause the media to investigate the meaning. Maybe you could have some fliers printed with this message and distribute them rather than a sign.

I think this intelligence briefing is what caused Whistle Ass to go from being a greedy, arrogant, uncaring, vindictive piece of shit to being a demented, greedy, arrogant, uncaring, vindictive piece of shit.

23. America is a "Free Speech Zone"

I hate fascist and their "free speech zone" crap!!!!!!!!!

[prolesunited]

28. I like that one

I'm not sure how this is going to go and I admit I'm a little nervous. I've been to a handful of protests in Chicago and the cops always have been cool, letting us do what we want within reason and just standing in the background to make sure everything remains peaceful and calm, which it has. I have never seen any violence or vandalism.

I know the SS will be involved this time and information about the protest has been out there for about a month so they have had plenty of time to make plans of their own. We'll see what happens.

25. First choice: the code pink "pink slip."

You lied, you're fired. Put it on a pink sign.

Another:

Bush: Leaving <insert rights, freedoms, schools, solvency, healthcare, environmental health, democracy, Americans, the world's good will, etc. etc.; take your pick> Behind

27. "Support the Troops"

Pics of troops dead, lacking supplies, etc.

Text:
How do you support the troops?

[wndycty]

29. How about this one!!!

Leader


Misleader


REAL LEADERS DO NOT NEED TO PLAY DRESS UP!!!

ON EDIT: While I am Clark guy, you can put any Democratic candidate in the first position. It might be cool that way!

[prolesunited]

30. I'm protesting Bush

Not campaigning for a Dem candidate, basically because I haven't picked one yet. Nice try, though. ;-)

Hey, are you going?

[radfringe]

31. check yer e-mail

sent two pics/graphics

Follow the Oil Slick
..keeps on lying

[prolesunited]

33. Got it!

They're great. :thumbsup: I e-mailed you back.

On edit: D'oh. Just checked your Web site and I see you already have a store. Never mind. :+

[wndycty]

32. I am doing good. . .

. . .we'll (the Clark Corps) will have people there. Campaigning for any Democratic candidate (and I encourage everyone to show their support for whomever their guy is) is protesting Bush, because it represents change. Unfortunately I will be teaching during the protest!

[Robbien]

34. Bush got 10% richer, We got dead children.

eom

[Lefty48197]

35. "You're a divider"

I think another good one would be a big sign that says "Bush" with a box next to it, followed by "Gore" with a box next to it. The Bush box would be untouched, while the Gore box would be a dimpled, swinging door chad. No other commentary would be needed, but "What part of this don't you understand" would make the point even more clear.

[prolesunited]

36. Any other suggestions

:kick:

[prolesunited]

37. Tomorrow's the big day

Last chance to weigh in.

BTW, any other Chicago DUers going?
