Turn your lights on in the daytime. |

Not in protest, necessarily, but in solidarity.
Think about it. We all have to drive (or at least most of us). And if we turned our lights on and kept them on until every last one of the 55 million people were driving with their lights on in the daytime, maybe they could see that we're not some tiny fraction that they have a mandate over.
You don't even have to buy a bumper sticker.

some cars already have daytime running lights, which I personally wouldnt want on my car.
Its a waste of energy.
Think of something else.

The power in the car is run by the alternator, which gets it's power via the engine. Kinda like a windmill. Running electrical components in an automobile uses little or no extra excess energy.

2. Problem is that all the freepers drive GM products |
|
and they have daytime running lights!
Actually, I've driven my lights on for years. Driving a Ford Aspire, I need all the visibility I can get so I don't get run over!

4. bummer, I thought it sounded pretty good |
|
I forgot about all those other cars that might be mistaken in a massive display of solidarity for just some people with their lights always on.

I'm feeling a little bitchy and it's not any of your fault.

7. Nah, they would just think we were all Canadians. |

It's mandatory up there (Though the RCMP never pulled me over for it when I forgot)

9. Maybe we could all flush our toilets at the same time. |
|
That way, the massive amount of water going down the drains might cause the sewers to back up. That would sure make a hysterical statement about how we are feeling right now!
