2245. What if we all did this every day: Take an ink pen and write
the number of dead on the back of our hand? It seems like a quiet, but effective, form of protest.

good idea http://jarnocan.blogspot.com/ I have pics from last night BU**SH**'s State of the Union protest here in Greensboro and link to the Cundy's statement. I guess I had a better time than she did.
this time she was arrested without performing civil disobedience, as was this girl;
and it was also brutal, she also had thousands of dollars of bills, when they finally dropped the charges. This was during on of BU**SH**'s town hall meetins last year. You do NOT have to be doing anything wrong or illegal AT ALL to be arrested, or spyed on the our country under the BU**SH**'s regime. www.worldcantwait.net

2. My husband has for over a year now
He put together the symbol of the fallen soldier (a rifle with a helmet on it) that he found on the net and he glued a magnet to it. He went to an office supply company and bought a sheet of numbers with magnets on them. He has changed the total every day.

For those worried about vandelism, he has had a soda splashed on his car once. That's it.

3. I have it in my front yard. Updated every evening. It's been there
since the total was 1032 in Oct. of 2004. It is started to get very weathered and I think I'll have to make a new one. It was vandalized once. Somebody had to climb my fence and cut it down in the middle of the night. I suspect it was the local College Repubs since I'm only blocks from the university and it happened just after the bars closed.

4. Write it on every $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 bill.
Just don't let anyone see you write it. You are not responsible for what is on money you spend.

8. Or...
you could keep a running score on a plain white tshirt with a black marker. One would have to cross-out the old total and write-in the new...maybe, with names. I thought of doing something like that for any future grandchildren as a folk form of history that could be both personal and poignant.

13. I just did it. And I'm allergic to the ink, so even after
the ink washes off, I will have a red rash in the shape of "2245."
