Above FReepers have contributed some good sign ideas. There were some great signs by counterprotestors at rallies last year, e.g.

"War never solved anything...except for Ending Slavery, Fascism, Nazism and Communism."

Btw, is it true that lots of faculty have left W & M recently, and many more are planning to leave (I guess as the result of budget cuts)? Any good profs still left?

Yep. The College has lost many faculty and staff, and stands to lose more if salaries and facilities aren't improved. Our hard sciences (physics, chemistry, etc.) are some of the best in the nation, outranking many much larger institutions in various categories, but the buildings (inside) and classrooms look like mediocre high schools. We're a state college (a "Public Ivy" due to our quality), and as state employees we have received a 2.5% pay raise in the last three years. So, after factoring in inflation over that time, we've lost ground. Now, for a professor making $90K and with no kids at home, that's not a lifestyle-threatening situation. But for those of us in the lower salary ranges with families, etc., its time to start looking elsewhere.
