DUers I need photos of you holding up your election fraud signs...
For anyone who has their signs from a previous protest or who didn't get to protest, but want to make a sign just so they can take a picture of themselves posing with their sign, I need photos for a web site. Think JPGs to be no more than 520 pixels wide. Email me the files with any commentary you would like to add.

Also if you know anyone with a personal suppression story, I can use photos with suppression story signs.

I also am looking for photoshopped images, animation, flash movies, poems, songs, parodies etc. as long as they have something to do with suppression, ballot box stuffing, tabulation fraud.

TIA

4. Need 1 person per sign, more like posed photos, plus the person needs to
know and agree to having their photo on this web site. I guess technically to be on the safe side model releases are in order.

8. Does "Hail to the Thief" count?
That was the sign I was carrying at our 1/20 inauguration protest. I'll be happy to send it to you if you want.

not have your face show, that's OK.

edited to add: If you want to send me the original digital image, I can crop and resize it.

14. I don't mind having my face show
F*** 'em. My husband took my picture with the sign at the protest. I'll send it to you as soon as I can load it onto the computer.

web site for these photos.

6. definitely the more photos the better, I want this to be mean...
mocking. Here is my latest:

Bush sucked so bad he couldn't win, so Karl Rove said,
Let's call on Uncle Tom Blackwell, he's in bed

With racist haters who are masters of suppression
They'll target voters who are democratic in persuasion

Blackwell said to Rove, "let me lick your boots"
"I will prove to you I done forgot my roots"

"My vanity and loyalty to my master the GOP
"I know I will be rewarded, so fuck the OP"

People of color and the liberal educated elites
Disinformation and unequal protection was his creed

There were less machines so the lines were long
In democratic precincts, now that's just wrong

But Blackwell's excuses just don't fly
Mama didn't raise a fool I can spot a lie

Computers count the votes so no one can see
They claim Bush won, I say prove it to me.

7. Tiny suggestion
With racist haters who are masters of oppression
They'll target the Democratic voters with suppression

9. Thank you! Much better rhyme...
Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 09:13 AM by rosebud57
I want this web site with the rather rude domain name to be something the fark.com crowd finds amusing. We can use humor to reach the people whose eyes glaze over at 1000 word polemics. At the same time I want to educate.

BTW cheating would include the lies told during the campaign. A graphic representation of this could be oppposing heads with speech bubbles.

edited to add: If someone can dig up examples of what Kerry said and then how Bush misconstrued it, I can create the graphic representaion of that.

11. Feel free to use these pictures from the Orange State
Here are some linked articles that include color pictures of ralliers and signs at some of our five "election theft" rallies here in Tennessee in the past six weeks. Feel free to "cut and paste" any of them that you want.

12. I am too ugly to photograph :)
Well, not really, just on my bad days.
I'm not that vain, but if there are any local rally's, I'd be happy to attend.
If someone took my picture, I wouldn't complain.

17. I actually want people to submit there photos...
That way we know they want to be part of this web site. I want this site to be something featured on fark.com, so we want an element of humor.

Definitely seeking PhotoShop submissions dealing with election fraud.

that you can do it anytime. You don't have to be attending a rally. If you don't want to be identified wear a hat and dark glasses, or a mask. Also you can do multiple signs/messages.
