Turn Your Back on Bush

“We don’t need puppets, we just need people”

I remember back in 1998 when folks in the Virginia General Assembly turned their backs when Speaker Moss was pushed through. Democrats howled then, so I wonder which set of sensibilities changed?

On January 20th, 2005, we’re calling for a new kind of action. The Bush administration has been successful at keeping protesters away from major events in the last few years by closing off areas around events and using questionable legal strategies to outlaw public dissent. We can use these obstacles to develop new tactics. On Inauguration day, we don’t need banners, we don’t need signs, we don’t need puppets, we just need people.

Puppets is what you’re asking for, and puppets is what you shall receive. I wonder how embarassing it will be when few if any answer the call?
