Why not protest the MSM at the inauguration? |
|
Since that's the real enemy here and no one will get near the motorcade? Get in their faces and show the world THEY'RE frauds too. After yesterday the world knows Bush is a fraud--again.

The only way we'll ever get any truth on the news is to show those repuke enabling whores the door.

Inform the companies that you are boycotting why it is that you are doing so. Tell them you will buy their products if they can show an effort in trying to bring balance to the news shows on which they adverise.

None of the "blue" stores listed on this page are available in my area.
See - I still have to eat and buy clothes, so my only choice is to go to the LEAST Republican plaza. In my case, that's Target, Sears and Kroger's.
In my defense, I DID ask (beg) Costco to come here. They were very nice about writing me back and explaining why they couldn't.

Unless we demand a return to a real free press that tells the real story we have little hope.

7. I Agree 100% Here are some sign ideas for the parade route. |
|
I hope that as far as the eye can see, their are signs trashing the mainstream media. Here are a few ides for signs:
"Your TV is LYING to you!"
"ALL THE NETWORKS ARE LYING"
"C.N.N. - Certainly NOT NEWS"
"TIM RUSSERT IS A GOP OPERATIVE"
"FOX NEWS IS FOR NAZIS"
"RUSH LIMBAUGH IS FUCKED UP, LITERALLY!"
"JOE SCARBOROUGH WORSHIPS THE DEVIL"
"HANNITY IS FRENCH FOR 'LYING SACK OF SHIT'"
"ANN COULTER IS REALLY A MAN"
"FOX NEWS - A TSUNAMI OF LIES"
"AMERICAN MEDIA IS CORRUPT"
etc.
"

9. We need to get Ukranian on their asses |
|
We should have a continuous presence outside networks, White House, Congress, and Sacramento and whatever the hell Florida's capitol is signs summing up their crimes in the case of government offices, and stories they aren't covering outside the networks.
What we really need is a Tianamen Square demonstration. Stay there until we get paper ballots.

27. Instead of Covering Your Asses... |
|
Cover How Texas is Failing in Education after Bush
Cover House of Saud
Cover Election Fraud
Cover ANYTHING Besides the Crime Du Jour (of course, that's French and the protester will be executed)
Cover UNDER-Employment

15. I was there in 2000 and the protest got no coverage - |

it was huge but you would never know to look at the media coverage. Very discouraging.
You are right, dealing with the media is as big or bigger an issue than election reform.

What I had in mind when I wrote this (but was not very clear) was for those who are going on the 20th to seek out the media cameras and reporters on the streets and get intheir faces with some of the signs that have been suggested in this thread.

that xxx has lost credibility with (me) because xxx is (bought loudspeaker of WH) and no longer journalism. Therefore (I) am supporting Independent media outlets, where the "real" news is being reported.
P.S independent media and "foreign media"
ouch!

33. During a big anti-war March in NYC last year |
|
the CNN reporter was booed by marchers, and I'll never forget the look of complete bewilderment on her face as she reported, "They seem to be mad at us." Clueless.
