After the Ukraine election and semi revolution I was moved by the supporters of the winning party using the yellow arm ban to show support and solidarity. The only thing I could think of is why that didn't happen in America, land of the free and all. I mean if we went to the polls in blue arm bands we'll be locked up by these clowns. OK so this is my proposal. Next election cycle we democrats ware blue tee shirts. Plain Navy blue no text Tees. The image will be one of both solidarity and strength. When you go to voter both, you will others who share your thoughts, fears, and hopes. Wow imagine standing in line and just seeing six others just like you, just six! Now think of 10 or 20 are a whole line of blue Tees! OK a bit much but it's a start, a start that will start HERE! Start talking up this plan to others start posting it at other sites. Anyone up for making banners for web sites? C'mon guys let me know what you think!

1. I look like hell in navy blue |

However, text free blue of all shades might be nice, especially the text-free part, to show how the left has been silenced by corrupt media.

Perhaps you should think bigger. They now prevent you from wearing overt political paraphernalia at polling places. This would be a way around that. However, you should try to "get this out there" by selling the shirts as 'voting gear for democrats'... No-text shirts would not be a good sell... but maybe a shirt that simply says "I Vote"? Then have it on an American-blue background. No navy blue. Then encourage everyone without an official shirt to wear some shade of blue shirt, REGARDLESS of what it says.
Not only is this useful for solidarity purposes, it will also give people a chance to eyeball the others at their polling place and see how things are going. Wouldn't it be harder to steal Ohio if everyone in a precinct knows that most everyone in line all day were wearing blue?
