Wear black after Alito is confirmed.
OK, I am very pessimistic about our chances of stopping him.

Anyway, wear black the next day after his confirmation. For that matter, how about black ribbons for a long time? Is the color black taken yet.

1. He's the fascist choice so boycott economically. Don't spend a dime for a
week - and if you must spend, buy at a mom and pop store or a blue store or Citgo.

5. Oh no, don't do that...I've been told that that is just COMPLETELY
unethical and out of line... I plan on not ever vacationing in Senator Nelson's home state, a place we've been to a lot...and I was chastised for it. You must take care. :sarcasm:


;) :hi: blm!

30. Just for the record..
I think your Florida idea was pure brilliance, and if I didn't already live here, I would have definitely used it... The only real power we have lies within our pocketbooks.

7. I buy Citgo alway now. Out of all the oil companies, Citgo was
the only one to respond to a request to provide subsidized heating oil to the poor or infirm.

3. Why not black all the time?
Fillibuster or not the fucker is getting in. We should have been wearing black since the 2000 selection.

12. debbie, please relax and take a moment to realize we have posted
sarcasm notes on our posts...Please also run a search of my name the past few days if you are still in doubt. The best thing to do with these "types" is agree with them...and then they go away. :hi:

29. I thought you couldn't edit after responses had been posted.
You seem to be eager to attack.

32. yep
I have colors hanging there in the closet, I've even tried to put some on, and on the first day of Fitzmas (please don't tell me it's the last) I wore bright colors! But those days have sure been far and few. Maybe we should go to the sackcloth and ash look. That would make people take notice. We could rend our hair ... of course HS would take us away and put us in one of the nice new detention facilities they are building.

15. Sounds like a good idea
Edited on Fri Jan-27-06 10:03 PM by DemGirl7
I'm definitely going to do this, I'm still kicking myself in the butt for forgetting to wear black on the day of *'s 2nd swearing in.

to the way they are stripping us of all our rights.

20. Sorry... I ain't ready to pick out my mourning ensemble just yet...
Why not try to be part of the solution instead of prematurely mourning our loss.

Now if you'll excuse me... I have to get back to the double black diamond run of a challenge that's in front of us.

11 justices on the Supreme Court" buttons.

23. I'm in Florida, cleaning out my parents' house, full of 35 years of
junk, all stuff that's old enough to be tacky, not old enough to be retro.

I'll wear what I've got, and none of it is black, sorry. I've been to Florida before, and I know it's short sleeved T shirts, shorts, and a bag lady cardigan for cool mornings.

I found a black blouse, though. It won't fit me, but maybe a sleeve would be an armband.

24. Wearing Black
I gotta be careful about wearing black. I like to wear black. Where I live You have to be careful what color you wear with black. You can get shot. I can't wear some pro teams jersey's because of that (Raiders Jersey). Also no arm bans or bandannas.

25. No. Let THEM wear black, because they are the ones who
are responsible for the funerals. I say that we should all wear PINK. Nothing pisses off the fundies like an American Patriot wearing PINK!

"THOSE DAMN PINKOS!"

Besides, girls, it is much more flattering to your skin tone. :)
