Pepper the Limo with Gideon's Bibles
I'm sure quite a few of you would be able to procure some from your motel and hotel rooms - are the police going to take your bible away?

You could put it to good use and make a statement while you're enjoying the parade.... just a thought.

2. Don't need the whole Bible, just a flyer quoting...
...the Sermon on the Mount. And let it float gently down upon the mitered heads of the BushCon Pharisees.

--------

Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a
tooth for a tooth:
39
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever
shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other
also.
40
And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy
coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41
And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him
twain.
42
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of
thee turn not thou away.

43
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse
you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven:
for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and
sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not
even the publicans the same?
47
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than
others? do not even the publicans so?
48
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven
is perfect.

Matthew 6

3. Or some pertinent pages will do
Edited on Wed Jan-19-05 04:15 PM by TheGoldenRule
I'm no bible reader but how about some of the pages that say thou shall not kill, lie, cheat or steal?

Or just the 10 commandments printed up in bold black lettering.

5. Maybe not such a good idea
I am not a Christian. I've never been one, nor has anyone in my family ever been one.

That said, I think throwing a religious text at a car as a political statement is a bad idea. It shows disrespect to someone else's religious beliefs. It will ONLY bring bad press.

If we need to throw something...throw a copy of the Republican National Platform...maybe tied to something heavy.

Are you saying that DUers use motel and hotel rooms more often than any other segment of society? :grr:

Oh, wait! I see now...you were referring to those of us visiting DC to protest the Coronation. :D

Sorry, I misunderstood...whew...glad to have that settled! Now I'm off to Motel 6...and I'm nowhere near DC...;)
