With all the work in the garden, forgot it was Thursday! But, while working in the garden got an idea. Many of you who can’t make it to the North County Resistance Peaceful Protest have been wondering what you might do to help us. And today, I had one idea, and perhaps some of you have more. If you do, please share them with me or anyone else who might relay them to me.
The idea is many of our protest signs are from 6 months ago and even though they are still relevant it seems there is something new happening every week we need to protest against. Again, most of you know this is a Peaceful Protest. We want our signs to reflect this. We have our signs out in Nehalem every Saturday, with hundreds of cars passing by us. Age and gender wise these people fall into all sorts of categories. We want our signs to reflect our thoughts but we do not want our signs to turn anybody off. Consider the couple with their 7-12 year old’s in their car reading a sign with really nasty comments. We want signs that inspire people, to make them want to protest, not to hide their eyes from negative thoughts.
So this is where I ask you to help us with our signs. What would you like your sign to say if you were at the protest? No limitations here, but remember most of our signs are made with 3″ letters and numbers. A sign could be 24 inches wide and 12 inches tall. The fewer words you have can made a very solid point. So, please send me your thoughts about what you would like your sign to say. This will be your contribution to helping us change the direction the American Government is taking. All the protesters want to thank you!
OK, we will be back in Nehalem, and after this week we need to be in Nehalem, on Saturday, May 23, from noon to 2 PM. We hope you will join us and we also hope you will send us some thoughts on signs you would like to see.
Best,
Patty
