3. You could always stick the word "impeach" in front of the sign. |
|
... Perhaps it might make people look twice?

Honestly...I don't know where I came from!
My mom refused to go see Edwards speak near them yesterday. I mean...just go see him for god's sake!
They live in PA so I'm really going to try and talk sense into them.
But I will be there for 2 of the debates. Can't imagine watching with them.

8. This happened to my cousin |
|
She and her husband were in a car accident and they had to borrow her father's car for a week. The car had a "no spin zone" sticker of some sort on the bumper, so...they tore it off.
Never asked...just tore it off.
Nothing came of it.

11. tell them that you agree and want your nephews to enlist |
|
such honor, such valor... ET
Bush is right, we should encourage our children to support the president to the fullest!
Or, you could schedule a vacation for them around election day. Do whatever honorable thing you can do to keep them from supporting *. It's okay to support *, just don't let them vote for *!

13. I'm going to try and get them to watch Fahrenheit 9/11 |
|
it comes out the week I'm there. I kind of doubt they will watch though. And since I haven't seen them in almost 2 years I might not want to push it.

14. Not that I ever disagree with taking down the chimp's sign but |
|
What right does anyone have to make her take down the sign?

15. Neighborhood rules about "political" signs. |
|
They moved recently and I'm not sure what kind of neighborhood it is. It's definitely not some ritzy, gated community but more of a seniors community.

16. As you drive around town...... |
|
and as you make eye contact with people you drive by, alternately point at the sign and then give them the finger. Ought to make a real fine impression.

17. Drop her off at the dogtrack when she becomes a burden... |
|
since she doesn't mind leaving you (and future generations) with crippling debt. Sometimes hard decisions answer themselves :)

18. I dont like it when anybody takes signs down |
|
Kerry or Bush Signs. I've felt the urge to knock some down in heated moments myself but I always remind myself that they have their right to express themselves and I can't infringe on it just because I dont like it.
I understand with the homeowner thing thoug. I guess the reasoning is that it looks tacky in a neighborhood. The best advice I can give you is to merely bite your tongue. How long do you have to be stuck there?

They have been brainwashed and you need to move quickly to have them Deprogrammed as soon as possible. There is still hope give them your love and support. With the proper help they will again see clearly. First thing remove there TV and radio this is the most important thing and then get them help. Removing the * sign is a great step forward. Good luck.
