Brainstorming session: fun things to do in front of Repug HQ in my fair city

[Cirque du So-What]

Republican HQ in my city (pop. ~25,000) has taken up residence in a former furniture store on one of the busiest intersections in town. Before I approach the two ladies who are running Democratic operations, I'd like to come up with some great ideas for making light of the McAnus/Failin campaign.

Some things I've been contemplating:

* Drawing attention to the failed business that now houses 'pug operations

* Organizing a chapter of Billionaires for Bush to amuse passersby

* Something with a Halloween theme that emphasizes how scary a McAnus presidency would be

Please, fellow DUers, help me come up with ideas for satirizing the Greedy Old Pigs! This is Ohio, after all, so every vote is precious!

P.S. - before actually joining DU, I lurked for years. I recall an 'Activist Corps'; is it still active? I started looking around but didn't find anything. Thanks in advance.

1. Do you mean this forum?

2. Yes, that's the one

I would have located it eventually, but I'd rather ask those who already know. Thanks! :hi:

3. You could always use the polar bears vs. Palin visual.

Get a few polar bear costumes and have someone dress up as Sarah.

I'm going to keep an eye on this thread because we have a peaceful demonstration planned at the McCain-Palin office later in October and would also love some fun ideas!

4. Hmmm...

* Something with a Halloween theme that emphasizes how scary a McAnus presidency would be

Dress as Failin and try to get people to sign a petition to ban books/remove polar bears from the endangered species list/repeal roe vs wade/teach creationism in schools/etc.

I know that would scare the crap out of me!

On edit: I'm considering doing this in downtown Portland ME for Halloween now! Think I'll stop by the local Obama office and see about doing a voter reg drive at the same time. :-)

5. Another idea I have

involves a poster with the word 'Palin' on it, accompanied by a coathanger. This is venturing outside the theme of ridicule, but I believe it would make a bold, unambiguous statement about the consequences of another repug regime (especially when the ages of some SC justices is considered).

6. It would definitly drive the point home (no pun intended)

and be a very loud statement - one that I would definitely appreciate seeing and would get a lot of play in my hometown. This election is too important not to do something for; especially with Failin (and everything she stands for) actually being in reach of the VP and possible POTUS positions.
