"Cindy" Sign-Waving [PICS]
Just got back from our Cindy sign-waiving and have some pictures to share. We got much, MUCH more positive feedback (honkers, thank yous, thumbs up), than negative (pottymouthed, snide, sneering and/or screaming Bushbots). I think they're scared, folks.

Anyhoo, I was holding a sign that said "1846 Dead For Lies!" and this 30ish guy slows down very close to me and screams, "I'M A GULF WAR VET AND YOU'RE THE LIE, YOU'RE THE FUCKING LIE!!!" I could only laugh at the guy in total and utter disbelief because, of all things, he was driving...... A HUMMER!!!

Thanks to Distressed American for the Crawford Coward graphic (isn’t it GREAT??) And for helping me post these pics.

ENJOY!

4. Well the numb nuts
only paid for the gas in dollars out of his pocket. The rest of us get to pay the other costs.

3. He doesn't care how much it costs.
But I would estimate he gets about 1 mile per quart of blood.

Distressed American's artistic rendering of the Crawford Coward is great!

5. Local Radio WMNF
aired a live interview with one of our protesters and one guy showed up because he heard it. (They are our local progressive station that airs Democracy Now.)

7. Gulf War vet isn't there now, though. Can't see the mess that
Edited on Fri Aug-12-05 08:12 PM by GreenPartyVoter
is going on now. This is NOT the same as the first time around. (Editing to say obviously I am assuming he is not a recent vet but from before.)

16. Gulf war 1 was a fricking CAKEWALK; the situations are not similar.
We had alot more troops, we had broad international support...
We actually killed more of our own troops ACCIDENTALLY than the Iraqi Army managed on purpose!

But, most importantly, we had military commanders
who were smart enough to NOT depose Saddam.

WHY?
Gee, maybe because
EVERY possible scenario they "simulated" all gave the same result:
OCCUPYING IRAQ = ENDLESS BLOODY QUAGMIRE

9. Thanks for the photos, AmBlue.
For the first time in 5 years, I have hope.

It's time to draw the line in the sand. The Americans have been pushed too far. Someone once said that "America is like a great sleeping bear. You don't want to wake it up".

I do believe I see something stirring.

11. Me too, cliss.....
...me, too. Cindy has opened a window for us all and we need to use it often and well, because we don't know how long it will last. Finally, and right now, at this very moment in time, we can be heard. But like Cindy says: "We're preaching to the choir and the whole choir's not singing with us." Once all of us decide to get up out of our lazyboys and sing, well then, folks, we got something. I really, truly believe this one thing because of Cindy Sheehan: OUR TIME IS NOW.

12. So glad you ot these up! Looks Like fun!
Some people do not realize how fun it can be to stand up for the truth and REAL freedom not that brand the freeps talk about.

I hope more people begin to realize this can be a really fun and satisfying way to spend an afternoon!

I do it solo on occassion. I just pick a heavily trraveled interesction and go out with some signs. If there are poles nearby, a little tape makes them into sign waving protesters to. I can hold a corner for hours with a few signs and some good strong tape!

Great work! Way to go!

15. Yes, poles are GREAT...
My van's a pretty good protester, too. Tonight while I was waiting for everyone to arrive, I just parked in a prominent spot and taped my signs to all the windows!!! I think she can hold about 8-10 at a time!!
