Bumper stickers aren't enough!

by mymicz Wednesday, Mar. 05, 2003 at 10:37 PM

Anyone with a computer and some tape, go go go.

This past two weeks I have decided to make my car into an advertisement for peace and liberty. It's easy and requires no permanent bumper sticker. Just look up liberty quotes through any search engine, find one from our founding fathers that applies to Bush, war, democracy or freedom, and post it with a bit of clear tape on your rear car window. I change mine every weekend, this week it says "democracy must be more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner," James Bovard. Others I've found useful are anything from Benjamin Franklin on liberty, or Samuel Adams, and you can use a beer label to make it cute. It works, mothers read it to their kids, truckers gaze at my window regularly, and people are reading something that makes them think, and hopefully act.

It beats painting your car funny and putting stickers on that won't apply after we get Bush out of the whitehouse.

Another thing, if you read William Rivers Pitt's article this week on www.truthout.com you'll find the phrase "Bush is out of controll," as a possible car window sign, it works a little too well though if you have read the Pitt article you'll understand. Considering that a man was arrested for saying just that. One quote, which I will misquote here because it's in my car, says something to the effect of, "the easiest way to be known as a dangerous citizen is to go around quoting anything our founding fathers said." I think that's one of my favorites.

Abe Lincoln

by Mrs Bean Wednesday, Mar. 05, 2003 at 11:04 PM

From The Writings of Abraham Lincoln, volume II.

http://kinkade.ws/cwt_alt/resources/e-texts/lincoln/02.htm



** Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation whenever he shall

deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so whenever

he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such purpose, and you allow

him to make war at pleasure. Study to see if you can fix any limit to his

power in this respect, after having given him so much as you propose. If

to-day he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade Canada to

prevent the British from invading us, how could you stop him? You may say

to him,--"I see no probability of the British invading us"; but he will say

to you, "Be silent: I see it, if you don't." **

keep going,

more quotes more quotes!!! Even Bush admirer can join in on this one, possibly without pissing anyone off if he just quotes and doesn't add commentary.
