DUers going to the Columbus rally need to dress so we recognize each other
What should everyone wear? I would love to meet up with other DUers at the rally, but we need to wear something that ONLY DUers will be wearing. What should that be? Any thoughts? It needs to be something that stands out in a crowd. :hi:

1. are any NYC people going?
I already posted in the New york forum but nobody replied. It doesn't seem like anyone is going from NYC. If you are and can give me a ride, email me.

2. I'm sorry. I'm in Illinois. If anyone from Illinois wants a ride
let me know. I'm an hour south of Chicago. :hi:

3. EVERYONE should dress alike
Nothing scares the power elite like uniformity.

5. OK. what should we wear? I would still like DUers to be able to
know who each other is. I posted this in the activism thread too...maybe wear a John Kerry button upside down? It could represent the upside down election results PLUS tell other DUers we are one of them. OR carry a DU sign? I don't know. I would really like to meet other DUers while I'm there. :)

4. Dress entirely in bright blue(not navy blue)with a red scarf around
your neck-----Blue Staters being "strangled" by Red Staters.


I know,I know,I'm being silly!

Wish I could join you!

13. I LIKE it! Do ALL DUers know about it?
Have you posted a thread to tell them to wear red gloves to the rally? I'll need to go buy me a pair of red gloves. I hope I can find some!

22. Buy White or tan ones...then use paint
You can paint light colored gloves red with spray acrylics or fabric paints. Bright red.

GREAT IDEA, the red gloves. Wish I could come. The red glove idea could be used at the state rallies, which I do plan to attend.

Yes, post a thread on it.

8. If I owned ANYTHING in Bright Blue that would be a good idea.
;) Blue is my least favorite color so I own NOTHING in that color. :) Wish you could be there too! :hi: I DO own a red scarf though! That might be a good idea! If people don't own one maybe they own a red bandana, or could make a red scarf from a piece of clothing!

24. Suggestion...on red-blue thing
HERE'S AN IDEA---WEAR BOTH:

The Red HANDS (symbolizing caught red-handed)

Use Blue Hat or scarf , or anything else strongly blue on rest of body

-----------------

I like the red hands because nobody else will have thought of that
idea probably, but a LOTTA people may be wearing blue!

15. dressing up
I was toying with the idea of a tin-foil ribbon.
If we wanted to get moody, could wear a tin-foil armband.
I kinda feel like 'owning' this tin-foil thing, just to say, 'I don't care if you call me paranoid, I think the facts bear out that this election was corrupt.'
Just thinkin
KEEP HOPE ALIVE

32. pgh_dem's right -- we should be proud of our tinfoil hats.
It's the Reynolds Wrap brigade that just might save America. Once we get just a wee bit more credibility, we should embrace our tinfoil -- it's what protected us from groupthink indoctrination & MSM manipulation. Wear it with pride!

17. Red gloves-great idea
I also like the idea of the DU in the corner of signs. In Columbus, no sticks are allowed to be attached to signs.

19. good to know
...I didn't know that signs couldn't be on sticks. Hm. Better spread the word with everyone else going to the rally, because I could see that being grounds for getting ejected (or worse, who knows?)

33. No sticks? No kind of handle at all allowed?
Is that the policy? So you just hold the sign up in your hands?

30. How about just ONE red glove?
Wouldn't that have more impact? And we could share with the red-glove-less. As long as right/left didn't matter.

39. Hmm...
How about orange hoodies or shirts with red hands on them? You can just dip your hands in red paint and stamp your hands on the hoodie/shirt.

I like the idea of orange for Ukraine being worn in some kind of way.

42. BUSH CHEATED 04 & Blackwell RECUSE graphics here
For the Columbus rally and just about anywhere, I have
created two files that can be downloaded printed and
copied at Kinkos.

BUSH CHEATED is color but can be printed and
photocopied B&W to save $$$

http://somnamblst.tripod.com/fraud.pdf

Blackwell RECUSE

http://somnamblst.tripod.com/recuse.pdf

Or you can go to http://somnamblst.tripod.com to
download other files including TIFs

Feel free to disseminate or modify these images.

If you would like to leave semi permamant expressions
of your feelings of this election I highly recommend
3M Super 77 spray adhesive from Staples $11.

"Red Handed".

That's our tag line.
