View Full Version : Turn your back on Bush

The election is over. The fight is not.
Bush's election is bad for the US, and even worse for the rest of the world. But elections are only one part of democracy. We need to think strategically about direct action, learn from a rich history of nonviolent activism, and develop new tactics to take on this administration.
Let's start from the start: Inauguration Day.
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.
We're calling on people to attend inauguration without protest signs, shirts or stickers. Once through security and at the procession, at a given signal, we'll all turn our backs on Bush's motorcade and continue through his speech and swearing in. A simple, clear and coherent message.

"Turn your back on Bush"

As you all do that, I will walk past stealing all of your wallets. And girlfriend pictures for my spank bank.
I will check it out. If I can drive there I will go, else I will turn my back to the television.

Before someone suggests rephrasing the subject as "turn your gun on Bush" - let me remind them that it is not only a crime in the US, but liable to get you banned. You have been warned.

What if we use the word "gun" as a euphemism?

D_Raay, you're in Virginey? I'm on the MD side of DC, we should definitely go to his inauguration. Instead of turning just the backs, I'm gonna drop my drawers too, which I'll have "Bush" on one cheek, and "sucks" on the other. Just because that screams classy. :cool:

They check you out by making you read a passage from the bible.
If you can read any word with more than four letters you're out of luck.

I'll register as a republican is that's what it takes.
There needs to be some IRC channels set up for this or something. For some real time info..... Does anyone know of any?
I'm curious... could some of you explain remarks like "you have to take a loyalty oath before you can attend", the line about security personnel saying
"Sorry buddy, we only allow Bush worshipers...", and that remark by Whois implying that the President of the United States would partake in homosexual anal sex in the middle of his second inauguration?

Get out your cave man. Turn off FOX News...etc.

I don't even have Fox News in my room :(
Maybe if I did, I'd have seen the report where people were having to take loyalty oaths to watch the inauguration.

I do pay attention to both my local TV news and the newspaper (St. Louis Post Dispatch), and I haven't seen anything along those lines.

It's called sarcasm, and it's based on the fact that people are being asked to do some interesting things in order to get into events involving the president.

I started that remark about not being able to attend the inauguration unless you are a rep. I said it because they did not allow anyone who was not a registered republican to attend the republican convention.

A classic:
http://www.drredwood.com/interviews/unknown.shtml
What did you think about President Bush's Thanksgiving visit to Iraq?
I was there when President Bush came to the [Baghdad] airport. The day before, you had to fill out a questionnaire and answer questions, that would determine whether they would allow you in the room with the President.
What was on the questionnaire?
"Do you support the president?"
Really!
Yes.
Members of the military were asked whether they support the president politically?
Yes. And if the answer was not a gung-ho, A-1, 100 percent yes, then you were not allowed into the cafeteria. You were not allowed to eat the Thanksgiving meal that day. You had an MRE.

And so on....
