[zulchzulu]

24. I'll have an egg or banana with your best birthday wishes

You Capricorn you...

[gauguin57]

2. Wake at 7.... turn off alarm. Realize what day it is. Cry. Put covers over

head. Cry. Lie in bed all day. Cry.

Democratic meetup (anti-inaguration) in the evening.

3. protesting, wearing orange, in my hometown

cant afford DC but can afford to take the day off and go protest in Seattle. I'll wear orange and am still thinking of what to put on my sign. Oh, and I'll have the VCR running to catch the REAL protests in DC. Wish I could be there.

18. won't do any good in East Tennessee to wear orange.

Everyone here, majority freepers, all are Tennessee Vol fans, so everyone has plenty of orange to wear year 'round.

Guess I'll wear black, though, that should be noticed.

5. What are the eggs for? If your implying that you might try to egg Bush,

tell the SS I said hi. I am sure you will have plenty of time to talk to them.

[zulchzulu]

12. I've egged Bush's bus this summer, so I'm pretty familiar with the drill

It's a fast, quick motion. The eggs stay in your pocket until the last possible moment.

Very exhilarating!

[seriousstan]

16. I would have a good lawyer on call and retainer.

You will be dropped like a sack of potatoes and whisked away before the egg hits the ground.

[tk2kewl]

6. Boil one of those eggs before you throw it.

I'll be in the rainforests of Costa Rica.

[yellowdogintexas]

7. working, then attending counterinaugural festivities at the

Tarrant County Democrats.

Depression themed.
Soup line
best depression era costume wins a prize

wearing black and spending no money other than the donation at the door for the counterinagural, it is a fund raiser for rent at the headquarters

[ClarkUSA]

10. I'll be protesting the illegal inauguration of Bush, of course

PROTEST THE ILLEGAL INAUGURATION OF BUSH! 24 HOUR STRIKE ONJAN. 20!

For 24 Hours SHUT DOWN THE U.S. ECONOMY

-- If you are an employee, take Thursday, January 20 off. Take a
vacation day, a personal day, call in sick. I don't care. Just don't
work. (Emergency workers excluded).

-- If you own a business, (and I realize this is a very big request),
close down your business on January 20. Put a message on your voicemail
letting anyone who calls know why you are closed. Put a sign in your
window. Just do it!

-- If you have a website, take it down, and put up a page that says your
business is closed because you are mourning the death of your country,
the end of democracy and the US as we have known it, the stolen election
and the illegal inauguration of bush!

-- If you have friends outside the US, tell them not to buy an american
product, an american stock, conduct business with an american firm, nothing!

-- AND NO ONE HERE BUYS A THING! Not a bottle of water, a pay-per-view
movie, a candy bar, a gallon of gas, a pack of cigarettes, nothing. Get
organized and do it the day before.

While you are sitting home, pick up the phone and call the media and
tell them what you are doing. (This is the ONLY thing you are allowed to
spend money on.) Call your senators and representatives if you think it
will do any good.

They wouldn't listen to us when we called and emailed and filed
lawsuits. They thought that they were going to steal our country and
our freedom, send us to war, put the profits in their pockets and then
rub our faces in it by inaugurating bush? I say NO WAY!


On Inauguration Day Protest!

Our religious leaders will not speak out against the war in Iraq. Our
political leaders don't have the moral courage to oppose it. And our
"free" press has been so bought out by mega corporations they could not
even find the wherewithal to investigate a stolen presidential election.

And now, on January 20th we are being asked to accept the man who
brought us this new world order as our leader?

Inauguration Day, Thursday, January 20th, 2005 is the day we SHUT DOWN
THE U.S. ECONOMY for 24 Hours.

That's right. The War Machine, The Military Industrial Complex,Political
Lobbyists, Corporate control of the media. It's all about money. This
time, we hit them where it hurts.

For 24 Hours SHUT DOWN THE U.S. ECONOMY

Not one damn dime for gasoline. Not one damn dime for necessities or for
impulse purchases. Not one damn dime for anything for 24 hours.

Boycott Walmart, KMart and Target. Don't go to the mall or the local
convenience store. Don't buy any fast food (or any groceries at all for
that matter). For 24 hours, please do what you can to shut the retail
economy down.

Not one dime on pay per view, stamps, don't put mail in your mailbox,
nothing.

The object is simple. Don't spend, Don't work, Don't participate in the
economy.

[yellowdogintexas]

15. new job, no vacation time, not enough sick time, still in training

so really can't take the day off.

But I won't buy gas, groceries, or any other items that day. Thinking about taking peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch, too. ( A WIC lunch, so to speak)

The only money I plan to spend is my donation to my local party org to keep the rent paid on our headquarters

[Pirate Smile]

9. Did you see this? the first "Inaugural Bawl"

"Jan. 20 will bring a wave of lavish balls to Washington -- and a fair share of mourning by Democrats. In Alexandria, for example, Fred and Susan Morhart are hosting their first "Inaugural Bawl" at an afternoon party in their home. The invitations, lined with black borders, promise "consolation, sedation, tissues and lunch." The Morharts, both retired pubic school history teachers, will be serving quiche with a white Bordeaux and are expecting about 40 guests. "We have a bunch of Democrat friends who are pretty seriously depressed," Fred told us. "Not moving to Canada, yet -- but we thought it was a good idea to get together." Black crepe optional."

11. Santa Cruz

Is there going to be any kind of protest in the San Fran area? That's as close as I can get to I believe. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

[jojo54]

13. Boycott

http://www.themountainsplash.com/poets_cafe/

suggesting a nationwide boycott against purchasing ANYTHING: food, department store items, ESPECIALLY gas. If we can keep the BFEE from earning just half of their daily oil take of 100 mil per day, it will be something to cheer about.

OOPS! Just saw post #10

[DaveinMD]

14. continue working

to get more Dems elected.

[Mz Pip]

17. I will have

the whole media on ignore. I won't watch one second of this nightmare.

20. Bid my husband and his Guard unit goodbye.

I posted about this in another thread. I hope I'm not being too redundant, but it is on my mind, and I can't get away from to irony that when Mr. Bush takes office, my family is being torn apart. :( I will probably feel this way for awhile. Try to put up with me if you can.

[jojo54]

22. We'll be thinking about you

and hoping your hubby the best. Unfortunately, don't think this is going to end any time soon. My daughter's (kind of) boyfriend is on hold at the moment - one day he's going, the next he's not. Damn, what a mind job!

[AwakeAtLast]

26. Yea, they did that to my husband, too.

Then within a week he had orders. He was originally told March, but then the date was moved up. Made Christmas kind of dreary.

[zulchzulu]

23. Wow

All my good vibes go out to you and your family. That is tragic. Really...

I hope you have some support to help you through this as well as hope your husband has a few extra angels on his shoulder.

[AwakeAtLast]

27. Thank you, and

yes, there are a few people around. Both our families live out of town, but my parents visit as often as they can.

[crd57]

25. Obit in your local paper

On Inauguration Day put an obit in your local paper and title it Death of our Democracy.

[Raiden]

28. blue paperclips and black armbands! n/t

[hoi polloi]

29. Emailing cirriculum vitaes

In search of a job.
That's what I'll probably be doing.

[RabidNation]

30. I'm trying to go to DC

I really want to be there to give piggy the inaugural "welcome" that he deserves. but other than that, my plans are as follows - hope you'll join me:

[tomkertes]

31. I will wear black.

I will wear a black armband, and put black flags up in my yard.

[starrislandS]
