this website is interesting...maybe we could protest like this...
The Singing Revolution shares how, between 1987 and 1991, hundreds of thousands of Estonians gathered publicly to sing forbidden patriotic songs and share protest speeches, risking their lives to proclaim their desire for independence. While violence and bloodshed was the unfortunate end result in other occupied nations of the USSR, the revolutionary songs of the Estonians anchored their struggle for freedom, which was ultimately accomplished without the loss of a single life.

A very creative and effective form of protest. I hope the Estonians and other Baltic States will forever remain free.
We don’t have any songs in this country that have been banned yet. Perhaps, one day in the not too distant future, we will be singing Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” as a form of protest.
