A visibility idea...can you help?
We are thinking about doing some visibility up here in NH against the war. Instead of the usual boring yard sign or banner someone suggested doing someting along the lines of the Burma Shave highway ads of the 50's (and well before, I think). I remember those ads as a kid and they attracted all kinds of attention. I found that there is an actual Burma Shave website, Burma-Shave.org, which has all of the jingles. Here is one so that you get the idea of the rhyme and cadence:

Don't lose
Your head
To gain a minute
You need your head
Your brains are in it.

If you can come up with any anti war slogans that would fit this idea, I would love to see them!

I'm struggling with this but came up with a few:

We went to war
Based on lies and deceit
Bringing the troops home
Is not a defeat

and

The politicians
Keep dragging their feet
Send them a message
Out of Iraq or
Suffer defeat

4. The Western NC Democrats did this in the 06 election...
I had a set of them up in my yard. They were really popular, I think I saw 4 or 5 different slogans all together, over the course of the campaign season. Here's their website, with some info:

6. These are GREAT! Especially the ones that promote IMPEACHMENT!
EVERYTHING we can do. ANYTHING we can do.

It's really up to us. Congress has abdicated its authority to lead us. WE have to lead.
