Bush is coming to town (Yuma) on Thursday! I don't know if I will be able
to get off work to protest. Hopefully it will be in the morning when I don't work but the White House hasn't released a schedule yet. The local dems are trying to get something together but it probably won't be anything edgy enough for me. What should I do?

1. Wear black
in mourning for your country. This is if you can't get off from work to go to a protest. If you can go, dress up symbolically some way, with signs explaining your costume.

3. It is Yuma, black in the summer outside is not recommended.
It got to 105 yesterday... Wearing a black t-shirt outside in the summer sun is like wrapping yourself in tinfoil and climbing into the oven with the potatoes.

But thanks for the alternative protest idea if I have to work during his visit.

6. Didn't realize the temperatures there
how about wearing a black heart, or wearing white (the sign of mourning in some countries)?

2. A black armband is always tasteful and appropriate
and shouldn't piss management off too much.
