Starting my "Stay Home America Memorial Day Protest"
What better way to honor our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan than to stop driving on Memorial Day to protest these outrageous gasoline prices that are fueling real terror against the American public. Just check out the profits of the Chevrons, BPs, Citogos and you will see why we really invaded Iraq. What better message to send to the Bush regime than one that says we will do everything we can to keep our children from dying to increase the oil profits of our greedy corporations and the totalitarian allies of the US who keep their wealth on the backs of their people.

Join me. The banner is: 'Stay Home to Bring Them Home'

1. a nice thought but a 3 day weekend is a heavy travel period
especially the beginning of "moving season" (up to Labor Day).

2. Hey, it's about sacrifice. Our soldiers don't get a 3-day holiday!
If your heart ain't in it, drive on.

3. SHAM Day....Sounds like a winner to me.
Everyday should be SHAM Day ;^) (a nod and a wink at those familiar with Army lingo.)

5. Please pass the word along to sympathetic friends and neighbors.
They will be saving money as well.

Remember the Bush ads about people who use drugs are supporting terrorists? Well... you get my drift!

7. Don't worry, you got a tax cut, remember?
That should hold you over until after the election.

11. Can you just give her a call and explain that you will visit later?
But if you can't, I know. Moms are special! Have a safe trip.

12. One more kick for the west coast.
Please stay home on Memorial Day. It's just one week-end of sacrifice.
