9. Simplest is best. Stop Election Fraud is fine. The...
red-handed and such is implied in the fingerprint. I think it is just about perfect as it stands. Simple words, obvious implication in the graphic.

31. You linked to this?
"I made both images based on JSamuel's idea and the comments of TalkingDog."

Can't you just tell me WTF the symbols are about? Trust me, if it's not obvious, as these surely are not, it's not going to amount ot a hill of beans. Sorry. I'll bow out now.

32. Here is the footprints symbol's meaning
(like the orange movement or the white hands movement)


RED FEET!!!


the more simple the better- RED(Repub), FEET(footprints)

they are not feet really, rather footprints (evidence, you know)

Demonize the Red republicans too
If we can prove voter fraud, this will help demonize republicans for years and years to come. The red color will be tainted any time someone brings up the red feet. Like what they did to liberal, lets hit them where it hurts!

This is exactly the kind of thing Dems have sucked at and Repubs have won at. They play mind games much better than the Dems do... BUT NOT ANYMORE!!! We need to learn things like this is what gets our messages across!

12. "stop and validate" or
"we voted, you count"--I like the fingerprint; it suggests crime and punishment.

17. My 2-cents...
Edited on Wed Dec-01-04 05:15 PM by Ojai Person
I just posted this on the other thread:

The thumbprint is a go. It would be a great bumper sticker and thing to stick all over the place, and to have on signs.

I am intrigued with the idea of the foot prints on the vote--as in
Don't Tread on Me (from revolutionary era). That used a snake, I think.

But I was thinking....maybe foot prints on the word VOTE, or on a checked ballot symbol like so many have here as avatars.

I think of foot prints carrying anger, anger and marching are in the feet, like on that video Mosh. Get on your feet!

I can get behind Don't Tread On my Vote! as a chant, stomping my way, holding my sign! And Get on Your Feet! Count the Vote!

And it connects us to the revolutionary spirit of our ancestors, no less.

But then I am a 50-year old nerd, as my kids are fond of reminding me.

Edited to add:
I like a name that carries motion with it. And I agree we don't have to decide it instantly. It will come. There is an amazing process in multiple minds. The ideas are smashing--we just need to develop them a little.

27. Yeah, while I love the feet, and even bare feet, the two together do
symbolize surfers--but then it also seems like it indicates dorky thieves.
Like, "DOH, I stole your vote, and I am just standing here thinking I'm gonna get away with it."

23. I like that!!!!!!
Edited on Wed Dec-01-04 05:20 PM by Ojai Person
That gives flexibility, dexterity, tricksterism. We catch them red handed, stop them dead in their tracks, find them tracking "blood" all over the place. We use both hands and feet!!! Like monkeys, we catch monkeys!!!
RHF!!!

And that gets the anger going!!! It makes me want to go out and protest now. And red hands and feet stand out! Caught in the act, in broad daylight! With blood on their hands! Stepping in blood! Like CSI!

Red gloves, red boots, red footprints, red hand prints.

24. RHF! RHF! RHF!
I also like how it kind of rhymes with RNP, RNC, RGC, etc.

Also it stands for ROVE HAS FAILED!

Republicans Hate Freedom? (that's going too far)

And it even sounds like a bark!

RRRRHF! Can you imaging how that would sound from the crowd? Marching, with our signs and red hands and feet!

Even suggests, we're not afraid to get rough!


(Hi, CIA observers!:hi:
Nothing to see here, just Patriots Act-ing!)

26. It inspired me in another thread to see that Blackwell has red paint all
over his silly self.
And that if you hit the Kool Aid too long it coagulates into red paint.

29. How about, call it RHF, Red Hands And Feet Movement...
with all the slogans that have been mentioned.

Keep the thumbprint logo like it is,

And for the feet, maybe design them standing on a black X?

That would even be easy to recreate on posters, etc.

Just another thought....
