I just posted this on another thread:
No protests here in TX, but I’m playing around with an idea for one.
1. It would have to be MASSIVE.
2. It would have to be creative.
3. It would have to impress Repubs that we mean business and we ARE WATCHING.
Missouri is quaking in their boots over a few hundred punks who by their sheer energy are shutting down an entire town. Why can’t we shake up the Repubs on a national level?? I’m sick and tired of sitting in front of my boob tube, listening to radio and becoming increasingly FRUSTRATED over the corrupt system of overlords who are unwilling to stand up and do the right thing on OUR behalf!
People are timid after seeing how the TEA Party has been harassed by the feds so I don’t know if we could pull off an old fashioned “get in their faces” rally like we did back in the old days.
People are also lazy. (That includes, sadly, conservatives.)
So what would be effective, yet is simple and uncomplicated?
My idea: SEND BONER AND MCCONNELL *BALLS* SINCE THEY HAVE NONE themselves. Tennis balls, footballs, ping pong balls, Big balls, Tiny balls, Red balls, Green balls. Either deliver them in person or ship them to D.C.. Hopefully, by the THOUSANDS or even MILLIONS!!
So that’s my initial idea. Shoot holes in it, FRiends. Jim Rob, what say you?
that would be awesome
The thought of jillions of balls arriving in congressmen’s mailbax is pretty cool. That kind of image stirs something that regular messages don’t.
Remember when people sent a bunch of some item to congress when they were going to give themselves a raise, and it made them back down. They were pissed about it too. I remember seeing one at the speaker platform throwing a fit.
They ended up passing it later when things calmed down. Still it was satisfying for a bit.
Spines, too. Pics of spines.
A shame these fools have to be given visual examples of what we sent them to DC to do.
Instead of balls, send them a pair of walnuts.
I was mulling this over on my way to work this morning. If they are too weak and timid to stand up for the Republic, there needs to be a revolt in GOP to topple McConnell and Bhomer. Younger, bolder leadership is needed.
With enough ticked off citizens pressuring them, maybe, just maybe we can push these numbskulls to do the right thing or push them out of the way of those who have the courage to do the right thing.
