We all need to pull a Tom Paine with Banners in front of our houses!
I'm getting responses, when I'm outside People stop and thank me for my Anti-Bush Pro-truth signs. When I'm inside I can see people slowing down in their cars to read my banners. If you are fearful of putting up such signs, banners then we are fucked we will lose in 2004! Drop that fear crap, that is the only card * has in his deck of cards.

It makes people who feel the same way feel they are not alone, and it plants seeds in the blindly obedient people.

0.99-banner
1.50 markers
8.00 Letter templates
Total-$10.49

What are you waiting for? People can’t see our DU posts, but they can see your huge yellow banners in front of your house! We need to evoke the spirit of Tom Paine with his pamphlets!

“Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must always undergo the fatigue of supporting it” -Tom Paine

1. "The right of voting...
... for representatives is the primary right by which all other rights are protected. To take away this right is to reduce a man to slavery."

Smart guy, that Thomas Paine

5. In my neighborhood they would drag me out and "tar and feather me!"
I wish I could..........that's why I've done flyers in the dead of night on telephone poles here where I live. That's the only way I could do that kind of protest.

You must live in a place which is tolerant.........you are very lucky.

We all do what we can........and we have to keep doing something......so I agree.....but it has be be something we are comfortable with in our areas of the country and neighborhoods. :-)'s
