Bumper stickers and solidarity
I just printed a sign that reads, "Love your Bumpersticker," using the largest font possible and mounted it on a piece of cardboard, with a handle taped on the back.

This way, when I pull up next to someone at a stoplight who has the nerve to adorn their car with liberal slogans, I can just honk and hold the sign to my window and give them a quick thumbs up before the light changes.

Also, I would encourage all of you to praise people you run across in parking lots and gas stations with similar vehicular adornments.

I just did it 30 minutes ago to a guy at a gas station...I actually waited for him to come out to his car. He had a sticker that read, "It is impossible to simultaneously prevent and prepare for war," an Albert Einstein quote.

I said, "HEY!" and the poor guy looked at me nervously...then I said, "Love your stickers," giving a thumb's up and a smile. A relieved smile came across his face and he said, "Cool."

What a nice, brief connection. Only took an extra two minutes out of my day, most of that time just waiting for him to get to his car.

We can win this; we just have to make others aware that there are lots of us. :grouphug:

1. We live in Illinois and our "Illinois State Fair" is coming up at the
beginning of August. Usually my entire family will go one night and eat our way through the fair, stop off at the beer gardens, etc.

This year we are all buying "Anti-Bu$h" t-shirts and are wearing our politics "on our sleeve" this year. I think we are all going to arrange to go on "Republican Day" with all our shirts and see how many people we can piss off.

It is just a small statement but a statement nonetheless because when my family gets together, there are alot of us!
