If you want to protest the war, you gotta follow the rules
First of all, there's a dress code. Don't look silly, it takes away from your message







Avoid large marches. The media ignores them anyway.







Don't do anything to call attention to yourself. You might look foolish.





Don't join any organizations.






If you really want the war to end, you can do it at the ballot box! With dignity.

Don't protest as if your liberties depend on it (and they do, imo)..... oh no, don't do that....it's not displaying the right......decorum.




:sarcasm: just in case it's needed.

it was WOMEN who (oh no) fought for the right of women to (gasp) vote and they did that by (damn, another gasp) vocally protesting. That will NEVER do!

45. She absolutely was!
These women were constantly subjected to slander against their dignity and integrity. It was hard to attack her because she was well-known to be a devoted wife and mother. Didn't stop her detractors though. She was also shoved aside in the later recognition of efforts for women's suffrage. Susan B. Anthony was lauded late in life while Cady Stanton was relegated to footnotes. I suspect it was because of her freethinking/agnostic beliefs. She dared edit The Women's Bible.

42. Take MLK or Malcolm X, and have them give the same speeches while wearing pink leopard suits
It's a silly example, but it shows that even though image -shouldn't- make an impact on the substance, it always does.

46. I have a great new product on the drawing board.
I call it the "Portable Free Speech Zone TM."

I consists of cyclone fencing installed on a frame with straps to bear the frame's weight so that you can both be in a cage and yet be free to move about.

Conventional free speech zones are so restricting because they keep activists away from the action. It can be so frustrating to go to a convention or a public speaking appearance by an elected official and afterward have have to ask someone who wasn't even there "Wha' Happen?"

An added benefit of the "Portable Free Speech Zone"TM is that the frame and cyclone fencing provides protection from batons and night sticks when the political climate turns suddenly fascist.

Great message.
Great photos.
Thank you.
Protests do work...despite what we are all being told.
Hell, I think that being told that protests don't work should be enough to get your normal breathing voter pissed off enough to protest!
