How to celebrate Presidents DAY?
So much of the information on here TODAY is so disturbung and inspirational, I think tomorrow should be a day of action. It's PRESIDENT's DAY for goodness sake; we should all do something meaningful.
At least send an e-mail to your congress folks with the word IMPEACH in the title, erhpas a link to tbis article conerning 911 and a quote- which was poste earlier today http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_allen_l__070216_9_2f11_questions_still.htm or other meaningful information such as what can be found at http://www.afterdowningstreet.org or many other sutes, includingthisone.
If you have time-a day off for many of US; hang an IMPEACH sign somewhere; little or small, more than 1 if you can. Perhaps even tand on a cornor with signs, with friends locally, even for a half hour.
Other suggestions?

1. You don't need to stand on the corner.
Merely make your signs and nail then to a telephone pole. Here is some good sign material I've been using.

Homeland Security threat level signs. I ordered them from the Government Printing Office thinking they would be tiny and I could hang one up in my office as a curiosity. The signs came and they are huge. They are also made from some very durable plastic. It is the ultimate irony and a great culture jam. Time to use their fear and their weight against them.

4. Interesting-could also add to these??? POST PICS?
I also have hung some signs- if anyone does put up some signs -perhaps post a pic here to inspire more...
wish
I had kept some from my last WDC trip 1/27- I did walk around with it the following Monday during rush hour but left it when I went to lobby.

I like the orange ones. What another sad news day Iraq bombings, a helicopter shot down in Afghanistan, just on and on.

2. I am going to work from home. Because I am a contractor. The
company I am contracting with has the day off. My contracting agency will not pay me. But I still have work to do. I am still trying to deal with being put into this vice.

No wonder the republics love this economy. It permits slave labor and unfair labor practices. I am a member of the work force. I do the work for the "owner" class.

Did someone recently ask in other thread if Marxism and Communism had any relevance today? Ha. I find that ironic.

The republic party, like they do with so many other moral, political, and economic issues, condemn what they do in fact practice under another name.

3. My four year-old daughter thought Presidents Day meant we get to send Shrub to Antarctica.
I had to explain it to her.

This comes a month after I had to explain that "President" isn't another word for a "Bad Person."

5. Marching Tomorrow At My State Capitol
...for legislation for the poor, kinship care parenting, and hope to meet with the Dems who are rallying with the governer in the morning. Taking my darling grand-niece with me who will charm the whole place, I am sure. I am raising her, she is 19 months old, full of vinegar and cute as a botton. A little activist in the making!

Oh yeah!
