Turn your back to Warren. If you're at the inauguration
turn your back. If you're home, watching it on tv, turn your back to the TV when Warren is on and email the picture to barackobama.com and/or whitehouse.gov. Flood the White House with disapproval of this action and show Barack who elected him.

And, at the risk of being an AW, rec this thread if you're pledging to do that.

I have the feeling Obama won't change his mind. You can show your disapproval.

1. Is there a way to get Warren not to show on his own (boycotts, other types of pressure)?

18. Not that I know of.
Don't go to Saddleback Church and I don't own a copy of any of his books. What else you got? I'm for it.

9. I don't know that its a "better" idea.
If you aren't there, how many people will notice? But if you are there and turned away with others, people will see that.

12. Well, I couldn't afford to go, even if I wanted to, but I'm not watching it on TV...
and if the boycott is organized, and if people Obama invited, like the San Francisco band decide to boycott, that would have an effect.

14. Are you boycotting the entire presidency, or just the inclusion of Warren? n/t

16. Frankly, both, why not, I don't tolerate homophobia, the least Obama can do is...
kick this guy to the curb.

17. If someone has tix to the gated event but wants to boycott now...
I'll gladly take them off their hands.

5. TYBOR!
Turn Your Back On Rick!

recalling our long-departed friend Angry White Liberal's "TYBOB" (Turn Your Back On Bush*) when he (mis)spoke at Ohio State.

8. It's not Warren... it's the decision to include Warren.

and I'll show my displeasure for THAT in a lot of ways.

23. Huh? Not sure who you are referring to as a "bigot"
I would normally assume Warren, but your context makes me unsure.

I think turning your back on a bigot is a tremendous idea.

13. Hey, I think I can do that.
Edited on Thu Dec-18-08 10:06 PM by patrice
I just got my first 3G phone, the Rant. I'll practice taking pictures of myself . . . .

I'll do it and post here. I can send the picture to obama.com and to my gmail and then upload to a photo server, any suggestions there? The last time I used photobucket I got somekind of error message when I tried to link to it; is there something better to use?

24. Don't turn your back
If you're at home turn on your computer and donate to a Marriage Equality organization.

and do it in Rick Warner's name.
