Pink Triangles: Congressional Edition
After reading Russ Feingold's http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/6/6/105913/0724">wonderful article, I got to thinking.

Does anyone think there is a chance of convincing some of the more liberal senators to wear pink triangles to these farcical hearings? If nothing else, it could put what Bush and his ilk are trying to do in political and historical context.

Whaddya think?

1. That would be wonderful, but doubt many of them have the cajones to do
so.

2. What a great idea.
Maybe an e-mail campaign to Feingold, Boxer, etc. will get things started.

6. I'd advocate a phone call instead of an email.
That way, you speak to a human and get a (hopefully) definitive response. Plus, you can come back here and post what the response was!

4. That is why I keep Feingold
instead of a Pink Triangle.. He is doing more to shoot down this amendment than anybody.. He sees it for what it is. A bill to undermine the rights of all individuals in this country.. He just calls it like he sees it, and he stands on the platform, and will not let anyone knock him off....

5. I think Skinner should make everyone's avatar icon a pink triangle...
for the rest of the week (or at least a day) to show solidarity. Maybe that could be done.? :shrug:
