Bupkiss, I got bupkiss. No birds, no thumbs-up, nothing.
I honestly thought I would get some reaction to this:


After 2 days of commutes, I got no reaction. So what next?

Suggestions?

1. Look on the bright side, you still got your rear window!!!
Most people are not as familiar with 'justice' vs 'just-us' as we are.

my front license plate holder (illegal) for months and months, with a few positive reactions:





I've gotten just about zero reaction for those two here at DU

I was very proud of my work...sigh

3. Want The Bird?
Try some pro-Bush advertising. I've noticed that every last pro-Bush bumper sticker in my neighborhood has been scraped off.

4. i think it's wonderful--and i know there are people behind you
seeing this, reading this and smiling and talking about it and agreeing.

don't take it down--just because you aren't getting car honks doesn't mean you aren't being effective.

I am looking for augmentation. I'm hoping to give some loyal bushie a stroke at 65 MPH.

21. Well, there are several approaches:
  • An image of Che Guevara on the hood of your truck.
  • Mexican and/or Puerto Rican flags flapping in the breeze. (You could use the Irish, Italian, or Latvian flag. Knuckledraggers only recognize the Stars & Stripes and Stars & Bars -- everything else is unAmurickan)
  • Anything supporting Gore or Hillary Clinton will send them into a tizzy.

24. The French Flag works well too...
Or quotes from any French Philosopher like Voltaire. Knuckledraggers hate it when you flaunt your "Liberal" intelligence (aka common sense).

26. The only flag other than the U.S flag
Would be Scotland.

Maybe a French quote would be good, any suggestions?

32. You might, if you haven't already.

I was thinking Reclaim Your Rights or something about the constitution.

14. "Detrone King George" was the sign I carried on the 4th of July
through downtown Lexington Ky. I got a lot of good reactions.

7. I suppose that I should mention that I drive a minor commuting route near DC.
Yeah, I'll be driving through the red center of Pa soon, that might get something.

11. A big dude with a beard in a pickup is less likely to get the finger...
... than some smaller person in Geo Metro.

But those who react will be stronger in their convictions.

You can tell from the reflection, eh? Add the pony tail and bug-eyed golden reflective shades too.

19. Pony tail? Nice touch. Now, add a layer of tattoos to your driver's side arm,
... and you can put whatever you want on that truck.

20. I only have my giraffe on my left arm.
His name is Fred. I have been thinking about getting an anchor on my right forearm.

Oh, it's not a full beard, just a 4" goatee.

18. No gun rack..
:rofl:

Technically long arms in vehicles have to be cased in Md. They don't fit well into a rack in the case.

17. It's a good sign
Probably the majority of the people that see it are supportive.

And the ones that DON'T like it are keeping their mouths shut.

It ain't like March 2003 any more.

22. As an old sign painter....


...who now gives his talent to 'the public interest', I have a couple of suggestions.


Upper and lower case letters should be used for maximum effect. Indiscriminate use of 'upper case' can distract from the message.

JUSTICE is the main message. JUST-US is the punchline. IMPEACH is either superfluous or the real message. People aren't responding, I believe, because they are confused.

Good luck with it, just the same.

23. Thanks! It's hard to reduce a thesis to a slogan.
The font selection is limited to what's available as sheets of letters, in this case silver vinyl 2" and 1" capitals. I found no packaging that included lower case letters. I picked silver for night visibility.

Yes, your analysis of the message is pretty close. My intent is we have no equal justice therefore impeach the administration.

So any suggestions as to how I can clarify it succinctly?
