DC Protest: Disguise Myself ? (I think NOT)
here's the thing...

in a thread yesterday about organizing the DU contingent for DC a poster suggested that we 'disguise' ourselves because we'd be photographed and/or videotaped...

well, we're going to be LIVE on c-span...

i don't even wear masks on Halloween.

the very thought of going to a protest in disguise offends me.

if i don't have the rights to assembly and dissent, then i don't live in america anymore.

'nostamj' is jeff matson (hint: jmatson backwards) he lives and works in NYC/Brooklyn and like many DUers, he's not afraid to put his 'real' name out there.

i'm not going to disguise myself tomorrow in DC. i'm not afraid to fight--in my name--for a future for my nieces and nephews.

3. I wondered where your "name" came from!
Brilliant! I know, we shouldn't have to hide our identity! I'm so proud of you standing up for yourself and thank you for going to the Protest tomorrow...

Wish I could be there but our thoughts will be with you all!

6. Oh you will be feeling the Energy!
I called my work from the Feb.15th New York City Protest just cause I wanted to share the Energy with my Friends who couldn't make it!

5. Go ahead...
NOBODY will recognize the guy in the mask with the huge question mark on his chest.

See you in 15 hours, my friend!

9. BASTARD! "nostamj" has had me puzzled for MONTHS!
Was it some Hindu name for Liberal? Maybe it's Greek for Theatre?

:argh:

Have fun at the protest! I wish I could be there...Wait...I will be! I'll be sitting in with Guy and you're calling in!

14. Don't forget we can host them in the 'Gallery'
Instead of making them visible to the Freeper scum general public.

And yes, I know, I'm behind sending people the link, yadda, yadda, yadda

15. !!!!!!!Bravo!!!!!!!!

I, Steve Guerke, salute you. If you post here your on a list....get over it. I've been on the list since at least 1965, all I ask, is when they put us in the camps... I get a nice bunk.

The point is folks, if it gets to that point, we're screwed, we will have a short time to disappear (before we are disappeared) and if you don't own a weapon of some sort (that you actually know how to use)....shame on you. I wish I could say otherwise, but I think things are about to get grimmer.

16. I hate to say but...Ditto.
I'm not much of a BSA fan anymore but "Always Be Prepared" is damned timely advise to Lefties &/or Liberals.

18. thank you Steve (and Walt)

and Jeff S. (AWD) and so many others.

stand and be counted. i don't want to be anonymous. when ?W was peaking, I have Bev Harris (another NAME out there) permission to use my name and image... in connection with that project.

i care about many things, but hiding is not one of them.
