Austin, Texas Anti-Redistricting Rally - Funniest Photo Ever!
I hope that someone can help me upload this photo. It is a real treasure. Go to www.democrats.us

Under the front page photo, click where it says, "More Rally Photos."

Next, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. You will see a sweet, little old lady carrying an umbrella and a sign about Texas Governor Rick Perry.

I'm telling you. For a website that is supposed to be a little more "moderate" than DU (and possibly catering to a slightly older crowd?), this is pretty stunning.

I'm starting to form a whole, new opinion about Texas!

:-)

Who've NEVER lost their salty look at life--particularly toward those who so richly deserve it! :D

12. Love it! Time to take it to the streets, nothing else is working...
and if we wait too long to protest non-violently, we will end up being prevented from protesting non-violently.

8. OK: here goes...
1) right click on the photo - this brings up a dialog box
2) go to the last choice: Properties and click
3) highlight the Address (URL) and right click
4) Hit copy
5) paste the URL onto your post or into your signature line
6) I don't think it's possible to adjust the size.

9. Bless her she's a real Texan
Here's a similar photo from a few weeks ago. A similar photo of this guy actually ran in the Austin Chronicle (our weekly alternative paper).
This brave Texan was out at the Governor's mansion the day they called the second special session. There were a lot of really good signs out
there. Here's another link for some photos too.
http://homepage.mac.com/kaaawa/Polly_Tiks/PhotoAlbum27.html There's one in there with this message "Spay DeLay's Bitch - (R.Perry)" Ha Ha
