Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully I can convince the folks you met on Sat plus maybe some more to join us.

I misread your post ... "15 or 20 *more*"
Der Prinz seemed affirmative about this event, although he hasn't checked the Scouting calendar yet. The girls and I will make matching Frumpy Fundamentalist FReepin' Frocks ... maybe Hobby Lobby will have their 4th of July fabric on clearance :-).
I was thinking we should confuse them this time by going dressed in long, hippy, tie-die skirts or T-shirts and ripped jeans with
"Peace signs" and "smiley faces" on our jewelry...
Flowers in our hair...
Put giant pink and purlple flowers on our vans...
Hemp necklaces...
No showers for a week...
Lunches packed in a 55 gal oil drums and "trash looking" wraps...
Babies running around naked...
We also need to have lots of non sequitors on our signs:
"No oil for food in our name!!"
"Peace through weather manipulation"
"Bush knew Cheney before 9/11!"
"Stop the tsunamis!"
"Halliburton - It's not just for breakfast anymore!"
"We gave peace a chance, we got the tsunami!"
"Stop global washing!"
Hey, Upchuck,
It was great seeing you and Snoopy on Saturday, and it's great to know we can look forward to seeing y'all in March!
Well, we could get the clothes at the thrift store, and you could paint peace signs and flowers on the 747 if you want (as long as it washes off, eventually ...) but I'm not going anywhere with people who haven't taken a bath, or babies without diapers!
BTTT for tomorrow. I will ping the NC list then.
We've got plenty of time to organize this, which is GREAT!
I hope the Rolling Thunder group will be involved!

I'm glad you posted this. I saw it in the paper this morning but I didn't have time to post it before heading out to work. I hope we can get something going.
Let me know if you need any help with the organizing or whatever. I've already mentioned this to Bobsbabe but she'll be in MD. Her husband will be taking some leave time before he retires from the military. I can let my mom and sister know. I'm sure they will want to do it again. Mother is a constant lurker and might even see the thread before I can tell her tomorrow. I'll round up as many persons as I can. I said something to my dept. manager today that I might need this particular date off.
I just want to know who will go dressed in the belly dancer outfit.
Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully I can convince the folks you met on Sat plus maybe some more to join us.
Here's a pic from their site announcing the Mar, 19th protest. Nice, huh?
Bush lies? Oh, and it's all his fault, too :)
"Bild skools, not boms!!!"
"Busch Lite!!"
Belly dancers? eek...
Didn't they have a guy on stilts, too?
I made it to Fayetteville last year and enjoyed meeting some fine FReepers the night before the protest. Had to leave the next morning due to a family emergency but am willing to try again.
So please keep me on the ping list!!!
