Sign for Vigil tonight, any ideas of what it should say?
I'm bringing a long board to put the candles on. I'd like to make a sign to place behind the board and candles. What should it say? What pics should I put on it?

1. Is it's main purpose to convince those who arent' convinced?
Or to rally those who already agree with your position? Both are good goals, but require different executions.

4. I'd like the statement to stick to the issue of Cindy and her cause
Bush lied us into an un-noble war. And thousands have died for his lies.

2. Probably Not Appropriate...
...but the best political slogan I have seen recently is:

"Sign up or Shut up."

How much clearer can one be when discussing the Iraq Debacle with anyone of military age who supports it, but is not currently serving?

3. If you're trying to convice others, you want something
like, "Why won't the President Pray with Cindy" (if in fact, he passes on her offer), or a simple, "Meet with the Mom".

5. 1850+ Dead. For What?
Or "1850+ Dead. Bush On Vacation". "15,000 Dead and Wounded".

8. The instructions I read said to 'be respectful',
So I can't say what I'd really like, but how about something like "pray for peace", or "God bless Cindy Sheehan", or how about "no more Gold Star Families" or "Mr. Bush, listen to Cindy Sheehan...she speaks for us all", or how about "support the troops...Bring them home now", or something like that. Hope I've helped!

14. Maybe this?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
