I need some help with anti-war slogans.

[soulcore]

I'm attending my second peace demonstration tomorrow dressed as an abu ghraib prisoner and I need help brainstorming quotes for my sign. I want something catchy but highbrow, and short enough to be easily read.

So far the only worthy one I have is as follows; "I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends. ~Abraham Lincoln"

That's the only good, original one I've found as of yet, hence the plea for help.Anything revolving around our dehumanization of other civilizations would be most appropriate IMHO.

Thanks in advance.

1. How about "Stop the War/Save the Economy" n/t

[texastoast]

2. I got a lot of attention with

Who Would Jesus Bomb?

I really like the Abe quote.

7. Thanks...

I really like it to, surprised I just found it today.

The protest is in a college town with some expected news coverage, so I want to say something intelligent and meaningful that hasn't been said 1000 times already. You know how people like to repeat the same slogans.

10. since i'll be hooded and in an oragen jumpsuit...

perhaps "Who would Jesus waterboard?" would be appropriate.

14. Clever! Better!

Do it.

[soulcore]

16. I'm doing it! n/t

[polichick]

3. There is no way to peace - peace is the way.

[angrycarpenter]

4. people who think of war In dollars and cents have ruined us as a nation.

I said that and I mean it.

5. I know what you mean but I've learned that sometimes the pocketbook

is the only way to get peoples' attention. Sad...but true, unfortunately.

6. So true. And issues have to affect them personally.

If their kids faced a draft, they'd pay closer attention to why Bush* wants to wage war.

8. "How many lives per gallon?"...

is a close second to my Abe quote.

[soulcore]

9. I also think that...

"War is over!(if you want it)" is one of the best slogans ever. Call it third place!

11. Not so "high brow" but I'm quite fond of:

1..2..3..4..we don't want your fuckin' war !!

12. "I'm not disturbing the peace. I'm disturbing the war."

~ Ammon Hennacy

13. A couple more I like:

[soulcore]

15. Nice images...

I'm going with the following, one quote per side;

"I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends. ~Abraham Lincoln"

and then...

"Who would Jesus Waterboard?"

I'll be wearing this.

18. IRAQ WAR: $341 million per day US Debt with China PRICELESS

19. Dressed as an Abu Graib prisoner?

You'll get arrested for sure, protesting nekkid.

:rofl:

I hope some good comes from the demonstration.
:hi:

20. And here they are...

So here's what you can do with some foamcore, a wooden stick, a drill, spray adhesive, twistie ties and a large format printer.





The messages are even interchangeable!
