Tomorrow, I need to protest. But how?

[SeanQuinn]

I'm a seventh grade student in a Catholic school that at best went 15% Kerry. I need to protest tomorrow's election. The deep political god in the sky is telling me to. But it needs to be subtle. All three of my main teachers are conservative (though I did convince two to vote Kerry, one to vote straight Dem .

What's a good way to protest subtly? I can't go to DC, I never spend a damn dime anyway. Come on DUers, help me out. :D

[no name no slogan]

1. Wear all black tomorrow

There's many folk who'll be doing just that.

[ailsagirl]

2. I, for one, am wearing ORANGE

A big, bright, orange tee-shirt. I'm sure the other DU'ers will have some good ideas.

I normally wear a lot of black so this will be a startling change.

Good for you, being politically involved. I sure wasn't at your age!!
(But then, we didn't have anyone like * in office)

6. Dress code. :P

I'll try screaming "NO" at noon, but it's a Catholic school and I don't want to get in too much trouble.

[ClassWarrior]

9. All black is the order of the day - does your dress code allow that?

Also, wear a blue - or any color - paper clip.

NGU.

3. I can't go either

but I'm wearing all black tomorrow and not spending a dime.
It's a day of mourning and I will tell everybody so.

4. 7th grade... I'm impressed.

If at all possible, at noon, go outside and yell "No." That's what Not in Our Name.org suggests. The "No" is to the Bush agenda and his legitimacy as prez.

5. wear this picture--I'm going to

"an Iraqi girl screamed..."

7. Write e-mails to your Senators

Tell them how old you are and what you think about the country's direction. They may listen to you -- you're obviously pretty smart.....

[SeanQuinn]

10. Got mail back from 2 of them already. Boxer and Nelson [D-FL]

n/t

[moggie12]

17. Really? I wrote then too and didn't hear back yet

They must like you better.

[alittlelark]

8. A black armband or scarf might work for the dress code.

[SeanQuinn]

12. No need for scarves..we're in Florida. :D

Armbands, maybe. Lemme just find one.

[Sydnie]

11. Paper clip (blue if you have one) on your collar

It's subtle enough not to mess with the dress code where you are yet different enough to make a statement.

[SeanQuinn]

13. GREAT idea. I've got tons of paper clips and this works. :D

Other ideas though too? I need to protest * and his many failures in more than one way.

[Rick Myers]

14. Welcome to DU, Sean...

Even just an all black t-shirt would work... It's what makes YOU feel like you are expressing yourself. But you don't want to get in any trouble, so keep it subtle...

B-)

15. Don't tell your mother I told you to do this...

[SeanQuinn]

20. My mom'd WANT me to do that. My dad on the other hand...

he's a freeper. At least he's open-minded (voted for Clinton twice and for Gore)

[ckramer]

16. Unplug the TV

[SeanQuinn]

19. TV's not going on in this house tomorrow.

18. How about waering a white ribbon: Got this from United for Peace & Justice

http://www.unitedforpeace.org/article.php?id=2694

WEAR A WHITE RIBBON: UFPJ also encourages everyone to wear a white ribbon on January 20 to honor all who have died as a result of the Bush Administration's policies. White is the symbol for peace in many countries around the world and the symbol of mourning in others. The white ribbon is simple and clear: "We mourn all of the dead. We support the troops. End the war now and bring the troops home."

22. Wearing black, pasting up anti bush posters

and not spending a cent.

I will listen to AAR when I am home.

[Obamarama]

23. I'm putting my Kerry yard sign back out in the front yard.

I may have to secure it in the snowdrifts, but it's going back up if just for tomorrow!
