Need some sign slogan help please
Tomorrow, my little town has a parade that goes right by my house. After the parade, the traffic getting to the "festival" grounds backs up and is bumper to bumper for somewhere between one and two hours, going both directions.

I have four two feet by four feet pieces of plywood ready for display in my yard tomorrow. I just need some slogans that will get the message out, get people to think, and give them something to talk about while they wait in the next mile of traffic to the festival grounds.

I was considering one with the dead and injured count from Iraq, one with the counts from LA, MI, and AL, with one in between that said "How many deaths will it take til we know, that too many people have died". My room mate thinks it may be too radical for this sleepy little town in MA and that they might end up talking about what a radical I am rather than the message itself. I don't want to be the topic of discussion, I want the message to be.

So, I need some help with some thought provoking slogans that will fit on those boards.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

1. Use my Signature line
All you need to know about politics your learned in Driver's Ed. To go Forward choose D to go in Reverse choose R.

I heard it today at a Democratic Function.

44. Actually to late to edit
but I think the person from whom I stole it from actually said backward instead of reverse. I changed my siggy to reflect that too.

feel free to use. I stole it, but I Love it too.

8. I had been gunho in the three I's myself but
roomie thinks they won't get it. If I was handing out fliers to the slow moving cars, then maybe that would work, but as of right now, I have no plans to do that. (not that I didn't think about it, just can't afford it)

Make levees, not war could be a contender though.

3. If you show the facts only, it might be more powerful.
X confirmed dead in Iraq
X confirmed dead in LA, MS, AL.
X homeless in LA, MS, AL.
X homeless in the USA.
and maybe "Make it stop."

14. "The Shame Game: Shame on Bush, Shame on America!"
or

"I Play the Shame Game!"

or

"The Game's not Blame, the Game is Shame!"


I like the third one the best.

15. Well, with your garden theme there....
Women with Grit!
Time to Weed em Out!

Looks like we've got some bad
grapes growing on those vines.

What would Martha Stewart do?
Feed them or starve them?

Where have all the gulf shrimp gone? (To the tune o where have all the flowers gone).

Our Coast Could Be Next?

Is this the way you'd treat your neighbor ?

Whatever happened to brotherly love?


not so good

30. Thank you for the welcome bs@n
I've actually been here since Oct '03. I'm just rather shy and only post when I've got something really good to share. I came up with this for rally in Washington and I thought I would run it by DU. I just don't want to offend with the KKK thing. I thought maybe the message might get lost since *ush does not discriminate in his killing.(soldiers, Iraqis) So if I use this on a banner for the march do you think I should drop the KKK thing?

34. amazing....
90 posts since 2003...you are a real "conservative" when it comes to words! No, I don't think it is offensive to compare them to the Klan. The other thing is, it gives you instant connection to people who loathe racist groups! Good luck at the march, and like Malloy says..."watch your back!"

39. OMG
You just called me conservative!! LOL
I came to DU to learn about the democratic candidates in the lead up to the primaries.
I was a little timid in jumping into the primary wars. I'm all for make love not war! :P
But It's all about fighting *ushCo so I'm learning to speak up more. I wore an impeach *ush shirt while I did my saturday errands. It felt great!
Thanks for "chattin " with me blue sky!

35. Here are some favorites I've collected from DUers -
and used on signs and bumper stickers for a while now:

Anything war can do peace can do better

Remember when war profiteering was a crime?

We're all wearing the blue dress now..

Where are we going
And what are we doing in this hand-basket?!

Support the troops
Give them a new commander-in-chief

The Bush Administration:
Blaming someone else since jan 2001

Why do we kill people
who kill people
to show killing people is wrong?

Bush/Cheney: Because the Truth Just Isn't Good Enough

If you're not outraged,
You're not paying attention!

You have the right to NOT remain silent!

Left has never been so right.

Oh! And these that I made...















And an all-time favorite for all occasions!

We've been saying that around my house for years.

But it's also sad, innit? Because we spend our "political capital" cleaning up after them and then the next wave of repugnantcans comes in and does it all over again.

The problem is that people aren't LEARNING!!!

49. Here's a few ideas
Love the Poor

No More War

Bush is a False Prophet

America Wants Leadership IMPEACH BUSH!

Conservatism Kills

The Buck Stops with Bush

Xchange Bush for a Real President

Bush Administration of Corruption, Lies, Murder

W is a Son of a Bitch

Sept 05: Bush Parties while the OTHER America drowns

GOP: The Great Divider

AMERICA wants a New Deal: Impeach Bush

Thou Shalt Not Spin – Americans demand UNFILTERED NEWS!

To The Press: The Truth Will Set You Free

Journalism is an HONEST profession! No more corporate media lies!

Only Morans Support Bush!

BUSH: The Golden Rule Isn’t About MONEY

CONDI: If the “racist” shoe fits, wear it.

BUSH LEGACY: DEATH

Mayors & Governors are not PRESIDENTS

Bush got a blow job from Katrina

I Miss America

America, Save Yourself - Get Rid of the Bush Regime
