another silly idea?

[garybeck]

Everyone wears tinfoil hats when we go to vote on election day, especially in the places where there are long lines (and TV cameras).

1. That's hysterical!

:rofl: :spray: :tinfoilhat:

[OldLeftieLawyer]

2. What?

You mean I'm not supposed to be wearing mine right now?

Oh, nice.

Nobody ever tells me anything ...............

<mumble, mumble>

[garybeck]

3. I guess I just mean to make a nice special one for election day

because you might be on TV

but seriously, if lots of people were wearing them, it would force the issue to be discussed.

4. That's the best use

for a tinfoil hat I've ever seen.

Excellent idea. Especially the voting part.

[fooj]

5. I wear mine with pride.....

6. Wear a tinfoilhat and ask for a receipt for your vote.

That should raise some eyebrows.

7. One of the MN DUers has a tinfoil hat. I've seen the picture

:)

8. Everyone park a junker at a 90% GPO polling location

If there's no place to park the Cadillac, you know they won't vote.

9. NO!!!! Wear your tin foil hat at home because u need to vote absentee!

10. People wouldnt have a context for it. Wouldnt make sense to them.

11. It could be combined with a teeshirt

"No faith in the election system" or something wittier. (no coffee yet, but you get the idea)

Or that could be written in permanent marker on the hat itself.

We aren't allowed to endorse a candidate at the polls, but I haven't seen anything prohibiting drawing attention to the vaporized votes.

15. we need to start mass producing orange t-shirts.

I have a design now, it's light blue, and it says

"It's the voting machines, stupid" on the front. Perhaps sarcasm is not the best tact for election day... if we could agree on a design I can print the shirts and sell them wholesale for cheap.

btw, here's the one I have now:

13. that's part of the idea

the people who don't "get it" would be forced to wonder why everyone is wearing them, and some of them would find out, either through the media or whatever.

it's a way to educate and enlighten, spread the word.

12. cat in the hat

[garybeck]

14. whether it's a tinfoil hat, a tshirt, we need to coordinate SOMETHING

election day the cameras will be everywhere. we would be missing a great opporunity if there wasn't some sort of coordincated effort to publicize our cause, make people aware. there should be boston tea parties outside all the polling places, info booths set up, and "stunts" (Abbie Hoffman style) that publicize the electronic voting machine scandal.

[noamnety]

16. Street theatre with magicians

that make your votes disappear.

[garybeck]

17. that's the idea!

watch the film "Steal This Movie" sometime. Abbie Hoffman was a genius when it comes to this sort of stuff.
