Here's a suggestion someone e-mailed me. I'm not condoning it myself, but i thought it was important to hear:
THE GREAT SILENT HIGHWAY SIT-IN
Organize as many like-minded people as you can, with as many automobiles as you can, and locate the largest interstate highway interchange in your general vicinity.
Park your cars on the highway so that no traffic can get passed. Block the on- and off-ramps. Try to block two highways at once if you can.
Get all dressed up, in black, for a funeral. Find all the American flags that you can. Hold them up HIGH. Stand up, say the "Pledge of Allegiance" every 15 minutes, with one person holding the largest flag you have in the center of the circle. Sit down. Stay silent. No rioting. No yelling.
People in the traffic jam behind you may try to cause trouble. Ignore them.
No protest signs. No pro-Kerry or anti-Bush gear. That debate is over. Silence is deafening.
Wear American flag lapel pins, yellow ribbons, anything pro-American.
Call the local media. Wait for the cops.
Do not resist arrest, but keep those flags held up HIGH. Make them PRY that flag out of your hands.
Say the Pledge as they handcuff you. Emphasize the part about being "indivisible".
Let them tow your cars out of the way, but do not move them, and do not move until handcuffed.
Keep saying the Pledge on your way to the police station.
It is important to show the other side that it is time for the President to be the President of the United States of America, not the President of the Republican Party.
It is time to stand up as the true American Patriots, to stand against the faux-Patriotism of the other side. Their Patriotism is nothing but Hatred and Injustice wrapped in the American flag.
It is time to show the world that we are the true American Party: the Party of EQUALITY, of HUMAN RIGHTS, of SECULARISM, of FREEDOM.
Let us begin.
