T-Shirt Slogans -- brainstorm here!
A t-shirt is being developed by a national non-partisan voting transparency/honesty/integrity/verification organization. Get your ideas in NOW!

Must be clear and easy to grasp.

Think out of the box (yeah, I know, we got that one!)

If your idea is used, and it's your original idea, you get a T-shirt or sweatshirt with that on it. (Or, make a deal, whatever.)

Okay. Ideas please?

4. Democracy is NOT a spectator sport. Make sure your vote is counted.
Another idea:
Did you vote or did some machine do it for you?

or:
We the People need to count the ballots

or:
We the People vote. Machines don't.

or:
When machines vote, machines win.

6. Here's one
Q: Why are Republicans so opposed to a verifiable vote count?

A: Because then they can't get away with stealing an election.

13. Brain dump...

"Fidlar" is a bad name for a vote counting company
Unilect: the unicycle of voting machines
My vote fell down a BlackWell (<-- that one ain't mine.)
Don't just "try add", do it right.
down with cultocracy
the pen is mightier than the machine
live free or diebold (<-- I bet this is not too original on my part.)

"Lock the vote--don't mock the vote"
(with a picture of a locked box with a paper ballot)

Another variation:
You can rock it and lock it--but don't mock it and block it!

"Texas Hold-Em"
(a picture of a corrupt Texas politician holding votes in his hands and shoving em in his pocket)

"Make it count--EVERYTIME"

16. Cool.

I like it, skids.

I like the one you picture above, too, mopinko.

(Although not for this T-shirt, I also liked the fraWd button on your site -- reminds me of one I did a while back --

Qwagmire - it's spelled with a Dubya now)


Okay, keep those brains humming.....

(I'm not the one who decides, by the way.)

26. Hackers Give Better Results
Hackers Rule the World

Hackers Have More Votes

Hackers Stole My Vote, and Yours, and Yours, and Yours .....

Hackers or Slackers, It's Your Choice. (With pictures of Bush and Moore.)

Where's the Paper?

STOP Secret Vote Counting. (Inside an octagon w/slash.)

Make Mine
(A picture of a paper ballot inserted into an iMac, and the monitor has a Mac-like smiley face with a cynical grin, numbers streaming from the speakers.)
PAPER!

A Programmer Ate My Election. (With a picture of John Kerry and a school marm.)

A Virus Ate My Vote. (With a picture of vote cast into the top of a computer, text on the monitor.)

If You Could Count, You Wouldn't Need to Trust Me. (I like sarcasm. Again, on the screen with a paper ballot being stuffed into the top of the monitor.)

Enough for now. You've hexed my day. I'll be thinking about this often. Perhaps more latter.

34. This one available at votersunite.org: Don't Outsource Democracy
regarding secret vote counting, and electronic vote counting:

DON'T OUTSOURCE DEMOCRACY!

-------------------
The general idea to attack secrecy of the vote alone in litigation by Land Shark, original phrase inspired by atty Randy Gordon (Don't Outsource our Constitution) modified by Land Shark to Don't Outsource Our Democracy with an idea for a design of a touch screen registering the wrong vote on it, design ideas and consultation by Ellen Theisen of Votersunite.org.

Back side says "Ban Electronic Voting"

"Don't outsource democracy" and "electronic" are in a freedom-tinged hue of Ukrainian orange. Touch screen is a black box, of course.

Get yours while supplies last, inquire at www.votersunite.org Use of idea and production rights all donated at no charge to votersunite.org Please inquire of votersunite.org if you want to use this idea, get a shirt, or propose to expand it to other formats.
