Columbus: A Sit-In of Massive Proportions

[crispini]

From another website:

Ladies and Gentlemen, if they will not report, then we must do something to make them listen. Our time is running out to save this election.

I am proposing a sit-in of massive proportions. We need thosands of people willing and able to get to Columbus, Ohio to sit in every business, every diner, and surround every government building.

After Columbus has been virtually shut down, believe me, the media will listen.

Sit-ins have long been used to champion democracy. The famous Greensboro, North Carolina sit-ins were done for Civil Rights.

This sit-in will be for voter's rights.

6. Well, heck, as long as we're hawking designs

I actually meant just wear a blue shirt. But if you're looking for BLUE shirts, check these out. Been pretty popular so far!



Also, lots of BLUE bumper stickers, buttons, and the infamous new W Coathanger!

3. I agree.

Shut down whole cities. People will notice if the crowd is large enough.

8. NOV 18..PICK A FIGHT IN LITTLE ROCK!!!!

THIS MY FRIENDS IS A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A POINT...TO NOT ONLY THE NEO-CONS BUT TO THE DNC...

ANYONE who has more information on this event, staging etc....JUMP IN NOW...

There will never be a better opportunity for people who oppose the neo-con agenda to raise their voices not only to the NEO-CONS but to the DEMOCRATS . It might be a definining moment if 80,000 people showed up in protest in Little Rock .... protesting Bush and his evil agenda...and making a point to our Democratic leadership they WE WANT TO FIGHT IT!

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK! [e-mail]

9. as for the blue shirt idea

If you do this before the 20th the "blue" symbolism will be lost due to the OSU Michigan game. If you think liberals get treated badly, try wearing Michigan colors to OSU during the biggest rivalry game in college football!
But, if there is a protest this weekend, I will be there

This is getting to be a depressing, desperate situation, in my mind anyway.
