I was thinking about proposing the idea of putting an empty chair outside the polling place with a label on it that says "POTUS". Before proposing to my local Republican group at the next meeting, I thought I would get feedback from my fellow FR'ers. Any thoughts?
You could point out any empty chair that you see and complain to the officials that it is unfair electioneering obviously referring to the president. you could demand that any empty chairs either need to be occupied or removed.
Think like a Cloward-Pivenite:
Walk in and demand to file a formal complaint for any empty chair you see in the polling place!
NOT FAIR! NOT FAIR! ELECTIONEERING! YOU PEOPLE ARE MOCKING OBAMA!
Stune their beebers hugely.
YOU BEAT ME. I hadn’t read down to the end of the thread. Great idea!
You beat both me and nitzy!
“I would think if the cockroach party can put their black panthers outside .voting station we could put an empty chair..”
If questioned, just tell them that you are trying to help
racial harmony by giving Holders poll watchers a place to
sit down.
LOL! I like that. The opposite approach could work too: Demand, due to the expectations of high turnout, that several chairs be located along the path to the polling locations as an aid to elderly and infirm voters.
I have an empty chair (with one brick on the seat to keep the wind from blowing it away) in my yard, next to the pole light by the driveway....
Since we don't see this sort of thing, ever, I assume election officials pretty much have a zero tolerance policy toward anything like it.
chain it to the ground and walk away-do it all over the u.s.
lol!
LOL! I’m picturing all the union hacks who are gonna go absolutely ape outside every polling place each time a poll watcher gets up from his chair to take a potty break.
Put a battered and empty chair in the bed of the pickup. If you can find a Newsweak like this one, put it on the chair.
If you label the chair “POTUS” about two thirds of the people who see it will be wondering who Potus is.
I’ve got a chair, with small American flag attached, ready to go up next to the “welcome to town” sign at our city limits. Just trying to decide when to put it up. We are already voting here.
How bout a chair in the back of a pickup, and just circle around the polling places?
Live within the guidelines of what's right. Otherwise, are you any better than the opponents you are trying to defeat?
It would only sway an undecided towards obama . What’s the value of a gloat vs a vote ?
Might be a good idea the local chapter of the Black Panthers
may need a chair to rest in! So you may wanna get 3 or 4.
What if you get rid of the sign, and just paint a red circle with a slash through it on the back of the chair?
Just leave the chair. The label makes it a form of campaigning. A chair by itself is a normal part of household scenery, heh heh.
