--About Voting Day Attire--What To Wear----My Suggestion--

[1corona4u]

Since there are some states who don't/won't allow candidate attire at the polls, I had a thought while responding in another thread;

What we should do, is dress Obama logo colors..SAME shades, not just red, white and blue, but the EXACT colors of his logo. Light blue, soft red, and white....and get it so close, it would be subliminal. :-)



Light blue pants/shorts/skirts, and a soft red and white shirt...any pattern...maybe navy shoes.




;-)

Just a thought. Pass it on, and do it if you agree!!

1. If a button or shirt at a polling place is going to change someone's mind...

...we might as well turn off the lights, the grand experiment is over.

[Grown2Hate]

3. I don't think the point is really to change anyone's mind.

More like just the feeling of solidarity... like the black hoodies last time (courtesy of the Eminem video). Nah, in fact, I'm STILL sportin' my hoodie, with the Obama Superman tee underneath, and I take the hoodie off after I exit. :) Yeah, I'm a nerd like that.

19. PA. does not allow political pins or sayings on clothing at the polls.

[old mark]

21. Never knew that -

I was planning on wearing my Obama Tee shirt.

22. There was a recent case that stops this!

it was brought by the ACLU. As long as you are not actively campaigning, you can wear whatever you like. I will look for a link.

I've been trying to decide whether to test it by wearing an Obama t-shirt. If they say anything I'll just rip it off right there in the voting place (but will have a modest sports bra on underneath, maybe with an Obama button on it).

24. CT doesnt allow it either....unless they changed it...

I was asked to remove my Clinton pin back in the day...

[KathieG]

2. So does "no candidate attire" include party attire? Can Dem attire be worn?

[1corona4u]

4. I guess it depends on the state....

might want to check your rules...

5. Not sure how easy it would be to find exact color tones...

here, I borrow this from another site not gonna say which one, i took the first one google led me to LOL - I also have an email with nearly (if not all) the same info in it - just don't feel like email dumpster diving atm.

OBAMA BLUE DAY!!!
September 30, 2008


Its time to REPRESENT!!!!!
This election season has remained too close for comfort and to close to call! We have 100,000s
of unregistered and millions who remain on the fence! Its time for us to come together, voice our unity, and make a difference!

Tuesday September 30, 20008
everyone is asked
to do two things

1) WEAR BLUE

2) REGISTER TWO VOTERS!
(If you can't register two voters talk to two people who may be on the fence/ or a McCain supporter
and sway them to become a Obama Supporter).

LETS MAKE OBAMA BLUE DAY a DAY OF ACTION!!!!
BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!
PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO EVERYBODY
WHO MAY BE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING!!!
THE VOTE!!!!!!
PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO EVERYBODY WHO MAY BE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING!!!

If it were just one solid color, people wouldn't have to go through too much drama trying to find several pieces of clothing. Just one blue shirt which I'm sure we all could find anywhere.

6. you could always adopt the "Billionaires for Bush" approach

Rent a limo, get a couple friends to stand around in tuxedos and evening gowns and yachting gear, and stand around the parking lot with your "Billionaires for McCain" signs

"Thanks for the bailout Georgie! See you at the club!"

[nc4bo]

7. yea really. Sad sos he is. The things I'd like to see done to him and his cronies would be

100% illegal and criminal.

[1corona4u]

8. Does it involve a cattle prod?

;-)

[rufus dog]

9. I was thinking something similar

the thought was to have supporters vote then line the street to the polling place. No signs, just a show of force.

[Hardrada]

10. Don't emphasize your breasts and don't put a big cucumber

in your pants in a vain hope of impressing anyone.

[Lilith Velkor]

25. But I do that every election

How will the poll workers know it's me?

[Hardrada]

28. LOL! Good question.

Another idea is to just wear a diaper but then you'd be expected to vote GOP!

[RepublicanElephant]

11. how about a t-shirt with jfk's picture on front and bobby on back? n/t

.

[AllentownJake]

12. ? Seriously

In the Primary I voted with an Obama T-shirt and 20 buttons on.

[WinkyDink]

20. Not where I live in PA.

[AllentownJake]

27. I read the article this morning saying its poll place by poll place

I guess the old ladies working the counter didn't want an argument with me.

[Drunken Irishman]

13. In 2000, my grandma and mom were kicked out of a voting place for their Gore buttons.

They were told to leave and re-enter with the buttons removed or they couldn't vote.

:eyes:

[ChazII]

14. I am wearing black

black shoes, black pants, black shirt w/black vest and black earrings.

[RC]

17. Excellent idea. I think I will also.

I already bear all black every Friday in memory of all the people that have died since bu$h was installed.

[monmouth]

15. I am wearing lipstick....n/t

[a la izquierda]

16. I'm voting in my underwear. N/T

[Hardrada]

29. This thread is useless without pictures!

[WinkyDink]

18. But I don't LIKE the "Obama light blue", sorry. The flag blue is DARK, and that's my blue.

I never understood why Team Obama felt the need to change the colors. I hate it when sports teams do that, too.

[RichGirl]

23. That's an interesting idea.

I'm sure everyone knows you can't have any form of candidate stuff on.

Here's another great idea...I think.

If the lines are long and you are in a predominently democratic area take a bag of leftover Halloween candy with you and pass it out to people in line to keep their energy level up. Hard handy is especially good to ward off thirst.

If it's a republican line...pass out salted pretzels. Once everyone has eaten some start complaining of how thirsty you are. You know, the power of suggestion.

[AngryAmish]

26. this is stupid

[RagAss]

30. I'm voting without underpants..."and I'm lovin it, Jerry !"

[Hardrada]

33. See now that's the American maverick spirit we're trying

to encourage here!

[BrainStorm]

31. Carry in a Pepsi

and some crackers.

[CatBO]

32. Someone ought to create a tie-dye design...

That matches the Obama logo. Blue, white (where the tie is) and stripes of red at the bottom - on a t-shirt.

[Shiver]

34. See, I was gonna go a different route...

I was gonna go in covered with McCain gear - shirt, pants, buttons, cap, patches pins, buttons, sock, the whole nine yards - and looking excited, a bright smile on my face as I walk into the booth.

When I come out, I'll be visibly weeping, tearing off the McCain stuff and leaving it in a trail behind me, muttering, "I couldn't do it, I couldn't vote for that old fool..."

Would need a shower afterwards... I touched a McCain button once and felt dirty for the rest of the day, so i can only imagine what it's like to be all decked out in his paraphenalia.

[Left Is Write]

35. I don't have items in those colors.

However, I sincerely doubt that what I wear to the polls here in Idaho will make any difference.

[goodgd_yall]

36. Just go in with your Obama attire and put masking tape over his name

But let the logo show.

[Undercurrent]

37. Probably pajamas.

I vote by mail.
