Creative DUers, please help me make a sign!
Edited on Wed Feb-18-04 06:33 PM by Lisa0825
Hi! I am going to be going to Crawford, TX on March 20th for a protest on the one year anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq war. It's a part of Global Day of Action (http://www.unitedforpeace.org/).

I am not the most creative person, but I know we have LOTS of witty folks here! So, I would like to ask for suggestions for signs to make to take to the rally. Please give me some input!

Thanks ya'll!!!:-)

(p.s. I am on my way out, so I won't be responding til later, but thanks in advance to all that contribute suggestions!)

4. Here's an idea:
Edited on Wed Feb-18-04 07:35 PM by Spider Jerusalem
A little risque, perhaps, but it would definitely be eye-catching: use a digital camera to photograph yourself from about navel to mid-thigh, wearing nothing but a large quantity of shaving cream on your crotch. Make sure a hand holding a razor is in the shot. Take it to Kinko's and have it blown up, and put on a poster with this text: "Let's Get Rid Of The Bush In 2004!" Then glue that to some good stiff cardboard.

(And if this strikes you as offensive, I apologise, but you DID say you wanted witty...)

7. Hi Lisa!
It's Laini -

I drove the van out of Ames! :)

You could adapt the one I used in Austin against Perry for the redistricting rally:

"Help, my President is an Idiot!"

17. Wanna piss people off?
Have a picture of Bush and Osama.

Under Osama write: killed 3,000 innocent people.

Then under Bush: killed 10,000+ innocent people.

22. THANKS YA'LL!!!!
I think I am going to use several of these, and either switch them out or share them.

In addition to your ideas, I also decided to make one with nothing but a big drawing of a pretzel on it.LOL

My conservative friend suggested this one: when pat buchanan and the ACLU agree, you know something's rotten in denmark!
It's a little long, but good!

Thanks again for the suggestions!
