I thought of a great way to show your face at the Inauguration in DC or your town!
Edited on Mon Jan-12-09 07:33 PM by zulchzulu


I will turn my back in defiance when Warren speaks at the Inauguration, but I thought about what would be a great way to show your support for equal rights for all and make it a very visual reckoning for the millions that will be watching the Inauguration and how something every graphic with the element of warpaint could be displayed by those attending.

Add that it would be easy to do. And if security asks you what is on your face, you simply say you are here to represent those for equal rights for all.

It's blue face paint (I choose blue for being a blue state country but you can use any color or colors you want) and the face marks of the Equal Sign are on the forehead, designating that equal rights is in your mind and an Equal sign for each cheek, which could be a Biblical reference for turning the other cheek.

I'll do this.

Spread the word or do it at home when you watch the Inauguration.

Of course, the ultimate for the new HDTV viewers:

1. And, one could do
rainbows. That's a great idea to come up with! There would have to be questions from even the corporatemedia on why so many at the Inauguration have Equal Signs painted on their faces.

3. I love it..easy to
transport and making a genuine statement. Lots of peeps sure get into that face painting thing for sports games and the Obama political rallies..why not at the Inauguration to stand up to rick warren and to show Solidarity?

4. Even if someone put an Equal sign on their left cheek...
... they can still show themselves symbolically.

People and especially kids LOVE facepaint at events. I did it all the time doing Obama tabling with stickers. What could be easier than a water soluble blue pen that does some equal signs?

5. I think it's brilliant. There were discussions
a little while ago on what the best thing to do about making a statement against warren's neanderthal thinking and you've come up with a real viable solution!~

Hope people aren't too busy to give it some thought.

10. Very good! I take back my suggestion about turning your back on Warren
This is way more inventive and visible.

11. Visible is great, but might not get seen on TV.
The cameras will be on the Smilin' Bigot.

I have suggested before that singing would let them know at the inaugural site that no one wants to hear him.

How about both?

Here's the song I suggest people sing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEOkxRLzBf0 (link to the lyrics)

(Finish the song, but start over if the Smilin' Bigot doesn't stop talking or joins in)
