Campaign sign suggestions

[ShawnJ]

Does anyone have any suggestions for making homemade campaign signs? John Kerry's first campaign event after his acceptance speech on Thursday is in my hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania on Friday afternoon. It's a public event, so organizers are expecting about 10,000 people with tickets to show up. My family, my girlfriend, and many of my friends have tickets. Should be good.

Well I was thinking of making a "No W" sign (similar to the no smoking symbol) because it's distinctive and easy to make. But after watching Obama and Edwards' convention speeches, bashing Bush like that doesn't seem like the best thing to do.

Maybe just a large sign saying "H O P E" that echoes the positive convention theme of economic hope and opportunity. I'm looking to attract positive media attention, not to be marginalized as "bush basher" by the local media.

How about "John Kerry, he's no Hitler!" Or "Kerry/Edwards: Better hair for a better America." Or "John Kerry: His wife will kick your ass!" Or "AppleInsiders for Kerry!"

:lol: to each suggestion.

So are you saying I shouldn't use the goya-esque image (http://www.pleasevote.com/downloads_please.shtml) of a gruesome Bush-headed beast ripping off the head of a child? :D

They'll have the signs for you. You can pick them up before you walk into the event.

Have you considered fancy dress? :)

I'm thinking maybe a bombed Iraqi. Rip up some old clothes, cover yourself in lashings of fake blood, tie your foot to your upper thigh to simulate amputation, a crutch, bandage round your head and voila!

Ooh, ooh, ooh you could be a tortured prisoner. No clothing required. Just attach some wires to various body parts (don't forget the rude bits!) and whack a bag on your head. g/f could go as the England lassie and you could entertain the crowds with an impromptu street performance.

Do you own a large vicious dog?

"Hope is on the way" seemed almost unbearably cheesy last night. :) How about "Hope, Not Fear"? Hope in blue, Fear in red. Or something that plays off of Lt. Col. For Kerry's line that he'll follow Kerry anywhere?

*Newsflash*

Ben Affleck is coming, too.

That might change the sign-making equation!

It made me, a die hard-get-Bush out now, question my vote for a split second!!

How about this "Sharpton approved", "Kerry and Edwards: They have Better Guest Speakers", "Edwards: he can sell you a car too"

John Kerry: His wife can speak 7 languages. That's like 7 more than Bush.

Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Edwards Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Edwards Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Edwards Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Edwards

In the tone and theme of that god awful Badger, badger song. That'll stick---I had that stupid song in my head for a few days after seeing that crappy video.

Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Unfortunately, my brother told me that his job as a volunteer is to confiscate ALL signs at the gate. :(

Bummer.

I believe someone in this thread mentioned earlier that they would have signs for you.

Remember Shawn, you must love Big Brother.:devil: :lol:

Oh gave me an great idea. What about "Vote Bush 2000, before you vote against him"

Fellowship, want a t-shirt? ;)

How about this one..

The war in Iraq is a sham and a lie, but Kerry will do it better!

Uh... yeah.

It's ironical, don't you think?

"Mr. President, if you had to sum up your administration in one word, what would it be?"

"Strategical." :no:
