we brought our own signs & were not allowed to bring them in. Let's see, there was also the Ted Kennedy rally for Obama in 2008---no outside signs allowed....and a few others I've attended that I can't recall off-hand. All no-signs rallies; we had to use signs provided for us.
7. There ARE offensive signs at democratic events -
carried by the right wing-nut protesters. At the March for Women's Lives in DC, 2004, there was a group of wonderful women and men whose job it was to block the aborted fetus signs from sight with large signs of their own. It was peaceful and secure for everyone marching past the sick protesters.
