We have now attended our FIRST rally of any sort! It was so much fun!!! Wanting to get fully into the spirit of the thing, we made a big sign to carry. Here I am with the front:
and here's Andy with the reverse side:
We got a lot of laughs--which we hope were sign-related. The great thing about the rally yesterday was that it was a rally ABOUT moderation and civility (aside from the f--k 'em all sign, which was only nasty sign there). Moderates, when we rally, are actually a really fun lot.
I don't know if you can see it in this picture, but the sign farthest on the left says "Anyone for Scrabble later?" Love that one!
Some of our favorite signs at the Boise event:
"Mothers against bickering"
"I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure you're not Hitler"
"When did peace become unpatriotic?"
"Can't we all just sing along?"
And, sported by a small child, "Don't blame me--I voted for Cookie Monster"
We had non-partisan speakers, and ended the rally with a sing-a-long of "I'm Just A Bill" from Schoolhouse Rock. Just a great day all around, and maybe finally a wakeup call to the nation that the nonsense, hate, nastiness and "enemy" politics of the last year must stop now.
