Poll question: Solidarity signal?
Edited on Sun Jan-02-05 02:19 AM by uppityperson
Which would you like to be THE sign of solidarity? Having several signs shows, well, certainly not solidarity. (will edit to add others as needed)

Blue paper clips - or any paper clips - are subtle, cheap, relatively easy to find, and accessorize well with most anything.

2. armbands? give me break!
why not pirate hats? no one is going to wear an ARMBAND and not be thought to be a complete nut.

a solidarity signal needs to be covert otherwise you are just being a dork.

Edited on Sun Jan-02-05 01:57 AM by proud2Blib
They can wear arm bands if they want to, can't they?

12. I know I know I know I know I know
"conceded" mean nada except to an idealistic 16 yr old who is still watching and waiting and working to get Kerry in. Or did you refer to "dorkish"? (that's a joke)

3. blue paper clips
They're simple, unusual, inexpensive and not blatant. I think they are perfect.

8. I do have my K/E sign still up...
...and my K/E sticker on my car, but I plan to take it off when my WHAT ARE THEY HIDING? stickers arrive this week. I'd hate for folks to read it as "Kerry/Edwards" - "WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?" <LOL>

18. Thanks for clearing that up!
I was wondering what the connection was as well. I like this idea, especially after knowing the historical significance:-)

17. Only 36 responses so far? I am serious about wanting 5o know
Hmmm, perhaps we don't need or want a symbol of solidarity? I am serious, I really want to know if we can decide on this. Thanks.

19. Wear orange
Its not the most fave color which makes it all the more noticable when lots of peeps wear it.
