Conservativeimage.com, I think the following bumperstickers, from among your website, are the type of theme that would, IMHO, be appropriate for signs at the counter-protest:
"Bringing the troops home . . . " nice, maybe a little long?
"Who says they're not capable of democracy?" Very powerful.
"Supporting the troops means supporting the war." Well said.
Putting "www.FreeRepublic.com" in smaller font at the bottom of signs is a very good idea. Also, putting an American flag on the signs is something to consider, especially if you don't want to carry U.S. flags all the time. Still, it's a good idea to have some American flags to distinguish your group from the leftists.
Sometimes, I've taped a straw to the top of a sign and then taped a small U.S. flag on 6 to 10 inch sticks into the straw. From a distance, people will see that you're supporting the troops and the effort to win the war. The flag really stands out and people won't assume that you're on the leftists' side, as they might otherwise if they couldn't read your sign.
I'm pinging weldgophardline and trteamer to this as they conducted a FReep of Hillary in Denver in 2003. Maybe one or both of them would want to join you, provide pointers, or put you in touch with other FReepers who could attend?
I'm fitting my '69 VW Bus with a loudspeaker PA system. I will definitely test it before I go down town. The Bus has a moon roof which slides open, and 4 maybe 5 people can stand up through it and wave signs. I'd like to meet in a parking lot down town around 12:30pm then motorcade past the capitol building where the lefties will be gathered at 1pm with "Stars and Stripes" blaring from the speakers on top of my car. Then we can pull into a different spot and make speeches from the top of my bus with the PA system. Do I have to contact the city or the police to let them know what I'm planning?
The purpose of this event is to honor our military, support the war and President Bush. I want to do a speech making points from Colin Powell's address to the UN, President Bush's freedom speeches, a piece I'm writing mocking liberals and the concept of "change is good, until it gets hard." I'd like to read out loud the transcript about Captain Sims who died in Falluja.

I'm redesigning some of my bumper stickers into large posters. I have to upload them to my site, then go to kinkos, download them there and make sure they're the right size so that other people around the country can do the same at their kinkos. I'll make a link to the posters on my site when they're ready, then post another thread for them on FR.
I'd like to play "I'm Proud To Be An American" and the national anthem from my loud system, but I'm not sure its lawful to play copyrighted CDs. This is a nonprofit, public demonstration, so I'm not charging anybody money to hear it, and I think that's the major concern about copyrights. Do you know anything about that?
