war dead flood the street in front of the federal building or recruiting office, city hall and 1800 people die in the street and cove themselves with a flag. and passively lay there for an hour or till they are CARRIED OFF. we need thousands of cities across the country to have passive demonstrations.. this would create a logistical nightmare and i bet the local governments would eventually let them just lay there for an hour

or they could go to a park or non obstructing area like a Median or courthouse lawn. everywhere the president goes or any of his minions also.. they just have their flag hidden and die as the motorcade goes by.. that would really piss em off.. sign of no control

the media couldn't pass that up. :woohoo:

1. An interesting idea, but I can see a major drawback...
...it'll be initially spun as a terrorism scare. All these people in one spot just "dropping dead" will be reported elsewhere as a release of nerve gas or somesuch and people will panic big time.

2. What an amazing idea!
I agree that the spin doctors will do their best but if it could become a sustained die in over time, the spin freaks would just give up. I am not an organizer and I barely have enough personal time to brush my teeth at times but I would lie down under a flag if this was to become a solid effort. I would spend my weekdays working and my weekends napping under a flag.
