I propose that we bring back STREAKING ! It's a definate attention getter
and kinda fun too.B-) Not sure where you want to write your anti-bush message but it does seem to get media attention. Worked in the 70's.

1. Those who were streaking in the 70s
probably shouldn't try to do it again now. Gravity and time do not have a salutary effect on would-be streakers.

3. Hm... it's definitely an attention-getter... but maybe the attention is
more for the body than for the message?

Meanwhile I think that the best is to dress very conservative/conventional when I'm demonstrating. Just "an ordinary citizen worried to hell". Maybe when the media cannot report on exotic colourful outfits anymore they'll be forced to look at the people demonstrating and maybe even to their message...

4. streaking is a good way to get arrested
and maybe have a sex crime attached to your record (they called it a sex crime back in the 70s if you streaked but wore a mask of some kind, according to my husband, who participated in the fad).

Streaking for a political cause is counter-productive, as your message will be dismissed by conservatives, who will then use your actions to convince the masses that this proves liberals have no 'moral values'.

6. Sorry, I live in Mass. It's January.
There are certain parts of my anatomy that just aren't that resistant to frostbite :).

8. Trivializes the issue..also, in case you haven't noticed, Americans
have huge issues with nudity and sex.
