Instructions on how to make your own bumper sticker!!
Does anyone have any instructions on how we call all make our own bumper stickers? That way you could print it off your computer in color etc. All we need is the package number of the Avery labels for the right size label. And then you go and buy it. Print off:

Vets: you fought for us there; we'll fight for you here! and put it on your car. In a few months - when it has gotten very dirty you print off a new one from your package of labels. You could then have a 'rapid response' way of putting the Democratic message out. When a new and really important message is needed - you just find the right words (perhaps approved by DNC that week so as to keep our message clean, clear and consistent) and then you print it off.

So that your car 'works' for you even when you are not in it!

Or maybe the Democratic Party needs to come up with a package people can buy with 20 blank bumper stickers that will work on ink jet or laser printers. That way we could all buy one at cost and be ready.

Could you imagine if during the 2006 elections if all Democrats in New York could have a message on their car for Hillary?

But this would only work if the messages are vetted by the DNC first. If we do not come up with a consistent message that is (very important) non-offensive (compassionate) then we are just really yanking our own chains and that is not what we are here for.

Edit: I don't have anything to do with the comapny except that I've purchased other papers from them and am happy with them.

2. Problem is ...
The problem is that any vets since World War II have NOT fought for us. They were ordered to fight for the South Koreans, the South Vietnamese, the Kuwaiti royal family, the Bosnians and Kosavars, and it looks like for Shia Islamism in Iraq.

And I refer everyone to this great piece by Charley Reese

Just Say 'No' to Military Recruiters

Suppose a traveling salesman came to your door. He said he was representing a foreign country that had a bad government. He would like for your son to volunteer to overthrow that government and possibly get killed in the process.


What would you do? I'd slam the door in his face. There is no way I would allow my son or daughter to sacrifice his or her life for the benefit of some foreigners I don't even know.


You should keep that in mind if some military recruiter latches on to your son or daughter. Under the present circumstances, it's practically a certainty that the young men and women in the armed forces will not be used to defend the United States or Americans. They will be used as mercenaries to advance the interests of other countries and multinational corporations, but unlike the mercenaries in civilian clothes, they will be paid a pittance. ...

4. The vets fought for you. They may have been misguided or easily
led but you will agree that if a 19 year old was hired to do something - the government should be there when the job is finished and the vet needs to re-integrate.

I somehow doubt that millions of South Koreans would agree with your assessment of the War. How many vets were drafted to go to Vietnam? Now they were forced to fight for your country (*&&*%$##). So too members of the national guard & reserves.

The vets are not the problem.

3. That's a long slogan for a bumper sticker.
And I'm not sure that people would understand that it's for Democrats. You might just look like the "Support the Troops" ribbon crowd.

5. You can make the bumper sticker as big as you want if you have
the blank 'stickers' in a pack. Also - yes - DNC would have to be right there too.

Good points. And yes - with the 'thinking' of the Red State people so warped (delusional followers of sociopathy in the WH) they will read & interpret things exactly different. They have gremlins in their brains. That is why bumper stickers should be vetted by a DNC Committee to make sure it passes the 'Soccer Mom' or 'NASCAR Dad' test as well as speaks to all Democrats.

Yes.
