How about a "We built these roads!" protest. To counter the repub theme.

Everyone put a sign that says "We built these roads!" into their car window and protest on the public streets of Tampa. If we could clog up the streets with traffic and not let them get from the airport to the convention it would be great. Occupy the Highway! Just my stupid idea.

Don't ever call your own ideas stupid -- that's like stomping on
a little plant, just when it's trying to make a flower. Each of us
is a fountain of ideas. Some are silly and some are wild
and some are nonsense and some are brilliant.

I don't mean to lecture.
This is a lovely little book about ideas:
Awake at the Wheel: Getting Your Great Ideas Rolling (in an Uphill World)
