1. Excellent Idea. March in your town in front of the courthouse or the local
tv station with everyone wearing black armbands.

And signs saying - We mourn the death of America.

17. Seriously
Where did "Orange" come from? Is that the only color left to use? I've seen references to using orange as a protest color, but I don't understand why.

Sorry for my ignorance...

18. Seriously orange ribbons are for the fight for Democracy
I'm not sure who started it but I know Randi Rhodes has the ribbon pictures on her website.
Orange might be the only color left, that might be why it was picked. :shrug:

8. don't buy a damn thing on inauguration day.
I can't remember where I saw that, but there's a site that's organizing a boycott on that day of EVERYTHING. Don't spend a single penny.

13. Good plan
I'll wear my new brown suit to work. As I posted on another (sadly ignored) thread, the "Not a Damn Dime" thing won't work for me because many days I spend no money anyway. I think I'll burst into tears at about 12:15 p.m. EST and have to be helped out of the courthouse.
