Suggestions for pithy statements for the Press on Saturday?
Should someone from the press ask you for the reason you are out in the street Saturday, you really should be prepared to give a brief, quotable statement that might cause the oblivious masses to stop and think if they read/hear it. Any suggestions?

1. Good question.
The payola press is your enemy. I suggest writing to Dean and see what the DNC says. Seriously. Folks need to have a common message, and one not based on hate. The Payola Press will try to twist any statement into a hate message so that their poodle-viewers can easily hate you. A common, positive message, short and catchy, will help us. Too bad I ain't a good message writer. :-(

2. Unlike some; I think the "culture of life" means caring about the living.
and doing something about the needless death and suffering of innocents.

4. opportunity to give 'em the whole package...
Tell them, "I'm here because of illegal wars, deficits, torture, war profiteering, I mean, where do you start? As I recall, republicans impeached Clinton over a blow job, didn't they? Where's the outrage now?"
