Poll question: Red Gloves Movement - What Do You Think?
For organized protests/marches related to election fraud?



The website could be nothing more than a bulletin board organized by state, when city and dates could be posted.

Good idea?

4. I think Red
Edited on Thu Dec-02-04 06:56 PM by jsamuel
many reasons...

1. Red Handed (Republicans)
2. Red = emotions, fire, protests
3. Red just looks better...

7. I didn't think of it yesterday... but I like the idea of "gloves"
because you can take them off to expose the truth (another symbol)

20. I just ordered a couple days ago, and believe it or not ...
I got red gloves, for the first time in my life, and did not even know about this "red glove movement"! Just learned today.
I'm having a cosmic moment here ;-)

http://www.sierratradingpost.com and do a search for "gloves"

Also at http://www.landsend.com has really nice and warm, red gloves, do a search

(See my pretty little avatar? Thanks, AmyCrat)

24. For women. And what if people can't afford gloves?
My son and his friends said they wouldn't be caught dead associating with a movement that had red gloves. They are in their early 20's. But red hands they could relate to.

Red gloves are a subset of red hands...
I say keep it with the hands, and let gloves be a choice.:hippie:

35. I'm sure there's body paint available
I have to buy gloves, it gets down to minus 20 over here and I hike, it was just odd that this year I bought red gloves because always before they were black.

But I can sure understand that people wouldn't WANT to wear red gloves, especially guys :)

I think the next great step, besides a button, would be a sticker for the car or whatever.

AmyCrat -- yoohoo!! -- contact nostamj if you think a sticker would be good. How about something with just the red hand in a black circle, kind of a counterpoint to the stoooopid W logo?

5. Did we morph from feet to hands to gloves? the website idea is great. Red
is easily tied back to Communism by righties, so I'm not sure about that, but the general idea is great.

12. I like the fact that they're easy to spot in a crowd.
You don't have to wear 'em either, just carry 'em.

I wished I was going already, but now I want to go to spot all the red gloves.

NGU.

28. Lose the ribbon...
I'm so effing sick of all these god damned ribbons!

I got the red handed part when I saw the logo, it works there.

Showing solidarity with the Ukraine isn't a bad idea, perhaps color the vote box orange?

33. No... but in organizing an upcoming protest...
someone asked "what should we wear" and the idea of red gloves came up and seemed well liked. We hadn't though of that yesterday when it was "red hand" vs. "red fingerprint"

38. ABSOLUTELY STELLAR
Caught red-handed. Red for STOP. Red for Republicans.

It is PERFECT.

Our own "flip flops".

EVERYONE WEAR RED GLOVES IN OHIO and AT ALL RALLIES.

Send this to the folks at the 51-capitalmarch movement too.

39. Can we use this?
Edited on Fri Dec-03-04 01:18 AM by Kip Humphrey
Its got my vote!

Can we use the red hand logo for the 51 Capital "You Stole My Vote" March state capitol protests on December 12th? Is it copyrighted or freely available? Inquiring protests want to know?

I would also like to get rid of the dot to the right and color the ribbon orange.

42. It doesn't work as well because
the ribbon is yellow. The ribbon should be black (like Black Box Voting's ribbon--see their website). Either dump the ribbon or leave the background white so the ribbon can stay black.
