DU, Has the Underground Staged a Protest?

I think that we have a large enough community here to really make for a good protest. I, myself, would like to counterprotest things such as Fundy events, and sir Chimpster's agenda. By no means should we look for a fight, but I believe that we should put our money where our mouth is and get out there and be proactive. I think DU has the potential to be a good pedestal to :

A: )Help set the liberal agenda straight in America.

B: )Be more active in Politics. We are already noted from time to time in the news, and in talk, but using our brains to help our party would be even better.

C: )Recruit young liberals to be more vocal in the cause.

and D: )Counter the Conservative's agenda.

I sincerely hope you guys consider taking steps in helping our democracy.

everyweekend, with tee-shirts on saying things like

BUSH IS A LIAR
IMPEACH BUSH etc...

walk up nice and slow for communion, tho I'm not religous
and just wait for someone to throw me out!

that says something positive about the dems policies or something that will spark discussion. your t-shirts may just make people angry. for instance, get a 'buy blue' t-shirt.

just a thought.

ellen fl :smoke:

Maybe "wake up amerika' will be the correct one.

my actual goal is to make someone get up and take notice
and I expect to make a few people angry. Just can't make nice anymore. Doesn't get us anywhere. No force, just gentle statements.

With the notion of solitairy protesting. I believe to thoroughly get your point across you need 3 things. A set cause, homogenous support, and en masse supporters. Sure solitairy gets your personal opinion across, but our "leaders" do not care about one person. Many people impact their decisions vice a few.

A side note, Do any of you guys think you would become violent if you protested against Fred Phelp's imbred goon squad?

As much as I would try to remain civil, I would simply not be able to look Phelps in the face without causing him grievous bodily violation of the most painful and demeaning sort. Possibly involving wolverines.
