Idiot of the Century will be in my town on Monday.

[BlondieK143]

Need help with sign ideas. :) Let's be creative folks!

[Liberal Veteran]

1. Would "Go Fuck Yourself" be considered too over the top?

:)

[pinto]

5. How about "F U for VP"

[BlondieK143]

7. F U sounds a little better.

I wouldn't want to scar the poor kids that happen to be riding by.

[HEyHEY]

2. WHo told you I was coming?

[BlondieK143]

8. Awww, be nice!

:D

[pinto]

3. Recess Time for Bush.........or.......George! It's Recess Time.

[BlondieK143]

9. Nice!

Definite possibility.

[name not needed]

4. Hey, I'm not supposed to show up until tuesday.

Get your dates right. :)

[BlondieK143]

10. You're horrible!

:D I told you to wait until Wednesday!

[No2W2004]

6. You do know....

that you won't be allowed within miles of the chimp, right?

You'll be penned up in a "free speech zone" that is no where near where shrub will be speaking.

[BlondieK143]

11. Yes, I'm very aware.

But my presence will still be known to those in my town. That's the only point. If there's one person to stop and think because of me - my day has been worth it.

12. Will he be in his bus?

If the motorcade goes through you should be able to stand just about any where. A democratic homeowner left people in his yard to protest.

Check out some of these stories...

Anti-Bush signs seen along the parade route: “Liar,” “Thief + Liar + Murder = Bush,” “Words of mass deception,” “More trees, less Bush,” “Impeach Bush,” “Outsource Bush,” “Words of Mass Deception,” “Stop Killing Children” and “Like father, like son — 1 term only.”

[BlondieK143]

15. Thanks for the links!

They're still trying to work out the details (as of what the news is saying currently). They won't even tell what time he'll be here yet. All they are saying is mid-morning.

Thanks for the links! Definitely like the 1 term only!

20. Excellent Point

And here I thought my protesting days were over because my attention was directed on a central "hated" figure.

I forgot about the Vietnam Era where the media could deliver a pic of my ugly puss across the nation and drop it on the Front Door of the White House, Pentagon and National Newspapers.

I guess it's time to kick some ass again.

[BlondieK143]

22. Hell yeah!

Hey, make sure to smile for that picture that will be delivered! :) I'm sure red flags went up on my name a loooong time ago!

18. Here's free speech zone location:

Ashcroft to establish "Free Speech Zone"

FNS*-Washington D.C. 9/4/02
Attorney General John Ashcroft, after consultation with Department of Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge, and with the full approval of the Bush administration, has designated an official "free speech zone".

The government sanctioned zone is to be located in Hastings, Nebraska. According to General Ashcroft, it will be the only federally approved zone on the North American continent. By presidential decree, the facility will be designated as the "President George W. Bush North American First Amendment Zone" (PGWB NA-FAZ).

In a printed press release (distributed to the media by an unidentified official the U.S. Department of Justice), General Ashcroft stated: "After much prayer, fasting, reading of the Holy Scriptures, and soul searching it has been decided that continuing to allow cells of protesters to demonstrate in the same city with President George W. Bush endangers the president unnecessarily. For this reason the Army Corps of Engineers has constructed a fenced 4 acre site just outside of Hastings, Nebraska. It will be equipped with two (male and female) portable comfort stations, but no other rest facilities.

It is only about 20 miles south of I-80, and just 100 miles from the closest airport at Lincoln, Nebraska. It is centrally located in the U.S. so as to be accessible equally to all citizens. A special K-9 contingent of the Secret Service will man guard posts on a 24/7 basis. The gate will be locked, but the key will be on a special hook in the White House. Those desiring to avail themselves of the PGWB NA-FAZ should first submit (in triplicate) a completed and notarized Form DHS 331. Upon approval by the proper authorities, applicants may obtain the key for one day (24 hours) only, if they have oval office clearance. Those failing to return the key within a 24 hour period will be declared unlawful combatants and subject to imprisonment for an indefinite period.
Protests (verbal or written), disagreement with the administration, 'street theater', grumbling, grousing, whining, whinging, pouting, or any other form of shenanigans will be neither condoned or tolerated in any other part of the 50 states of the United States of American, nor anywhere upon the North American Continent."

It is anticipated that two other such zones may be established sometime in the future. One would be located at an as yet unidentified location somewhere in mid-central Mexico and the other in northern Canada, near the Arctic Circle.

13. Here are some signs from York Pa protest yesterday:

Nov 2, 2004: End of an Error
What happened to the goat?
Outsource Bush
Save a tree. Plant Bush
Bush lied 881 soldiers died. Fire him.
Four years of embarrassment is enough.
This teacher is for democracy.
George W., if you can read this I'm surprised.
How many lives per gallon?
Get rid of the son of a Bush.
Stop the Bush-it.

What you do to the least of my brethren you do unto me.
(with pictures of Abu Ghraib and a man in a black suit like the prisoners)

Shave Bush.

[BlondieK143]

16. Nice.

Shave Bush! :) That's great!

[peekaloo]

14. Is it another trip paid by taxpayers but not open to the public?

[BlondieK143]

19. The only people he will be talking to are

http://www.knoxnews.com/kns/local_news/article/0,1406,KNS_347_3025643,00.html

..."deliver a speech to lab employees and a group of invited dignitaries."

Of course. The man better be glad I didn't get an invite! :D

[Radical Activist]

17. My favorites

A few I've carried at Bush and war protests:

Sow more war, Reap more terrorism
Iraq: the 51st state?
No More Bushit
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld: Asses of Evil
America is a Free Speech Zone!

[BlondieK143]

21. Asses of evil!

Nice! The only good idea I came up with was....

"My boyfriend is willing to die for you - are your daughters?" But then that probably sounds corny. :( Something to that affect anyways.

[Radical Activist]

36. Protesting Bush is a lot of fun

I remember getting together with some friends and making signs to protest Bush on one of his visits to east Tennessee in 2002. I was happy to see the Knox News Sentinel publish an editorial critical of the free speech zones last year.

[BlondieK143]

37. No kidding!

I've noticed the Sentinel doing a few things to our advantage this year as well. But it's still the media and it's still Knoxville. Damn Freeperville. :) But I'm glad you had a good time!

[DebJ]

23. I couldn't bring a sign yesterday, since I went in to see

the Thief in Chief, but if I could have, I would have made one for the right winger "Christians" that just said:

Thou Shalt Not Kill. Period. Not when, not if, but NOT.
Revenge is mine, says the Lord.

I said that to quite a few Bush supporters yesterday, and not one had a response, not a single word. Just silence and a sad face.
Some of these people do have a heart and a conscience. They also have a real need for leadership....different leadership. It felt good to hit home. I know at least some will think about what I said.
At least think. I was crying when I said it, too, not angry, and I think that helps get you heard.

[BlondieK143]

27. You're right.

I think being somewhat calm instead of angry gets the point across better. And you know why they have no response, right? Their "chrisitian" excuse is the only thing they have to tell themselves is the 'truth'. When that's put into the perspective you put it in - they have nothing else to do but look within and realize they're only fooling themselves.

[Angelus]

24. I'm going to your town on Monday?

[BlondieK143]

25. Well, that would be fun!

But I wouldn't call you an idiot dear!

[Angelus]

26. Yeah...it would be fun.

:)

[BlondieK143]

28. How ya been?

It's been a few days! :)

[Angelus]

29. Bored out of my mind.

When does summer end?

And you?

[BlondieK143]

32. I'm sorry!

Working, working, working. That's about it. I've been working on some things for troops overseas and things like that. How'd the job thing go? PM me.

[Angelus]

33. Eh.

I didn't hear from them yet. The interview went rather well, IMO. :shrug:

I'll tell you more about it later. I need to take a shower before my parents come home.

[Misunderestimator]

30. Only 4 More Months of WarCriminal/TrashMouth

[BlondieK143]

31. 4 more months.

Damn that sounds so good!

[stellanoir]

34. "Prune the Bush"

nahhhh I really think "thou shalt not kill. . ." is the most effective.

Whatever you put on your sign, don't put it on a wooden stick. Other posting protesters have said the signs and sticks get confiscated as weaponry.

If you haven't heard of it, consider freeway blogging. (freewayblogger.com) Someone posted a great one on an overpass over *'s motorcade route in N.C. last week that read
"Bush, get off Edwards' turf." I guess it was taken down before he saw it but still, was seen by many others.

[BlondieK143]

35. Thanks for the tips!

This will be my first protest so yeah, I'm a virgin that needs help! :D

[Radical Activist]

38. LOL

A virgin that needs help? You're such a tease. ;) I'm a seasoned protest veteran who would gladly show you the ropes, but sadly I'm no longer in your area. :(

[BlondieK143]

39. That sucks!

:( Why did you have to move?

I'm not a tease. Just confident.
