how to make big signs on your own printer and suggested slogans and goals
  • Geo October 2011 +1 -1

    Here are some ideas for signs and how to make them easily on your own printer.

    Make large multipage signs using the Rasterbator and your printer and glue or tape them to a posterboard from the 99 cents store or dollar tree.
    This divided large images across multi sheets of paper to print them and then you can paste or tape them together.

    good readable signs are much more impressive.

    you can also print words over grayed out photos to catch the eyes of people driving by.

    good photos to use for images to use with the rastorbator:

    American flags on the signs!

    (and Carry American flags!)

    *******Good slogans that everyone can agree with:

    Thomas Jefferson would be here with us. Why aren't you?

    George Washington walks with us !

    ****Avoid standard democrat or republican phrases or candidates names. It just subdivides the gathering. neither party is doing anything. both parties need to change and the 99% percent need to stick together long enough to change them and not be subdivided by those who control the status qou in the parties (they want you arguing so you remain no challenge tot hem).

    suggestions.

    Untaxed inheritance inhibits true competition and goes against ever free enterprise idea of reward those who earned it.

    End unlimited Corporate lifespans. Corporations should be ended and their assets sold every 20 years to promote competition and decrease monopolies.

    Since the "job creators" aren't "job creating" can we tax them again now?

    Increase taxes on those who decrease American jobs.

    Big Oil & Big Banks = BIGGER TROUBLE. End the subsidies and break them up!

    Breaking up monopolies is the American way. Competition works.

    "Free" trade costs you plenty including your first world wage job and quality of life. Reimpose import duties on products from low wage producers.

    "Free" Trade really just means "free to exploit people worldwide"

    End "free" trade. Reimpose imports duties on low wage producers.

    Bigger financial Fraud is still fraud. Punish it by TAKING BACK THE MONEY.

    The crimes weren't punished. go back and get theirs names and get their money.

    It time to make a list of those who are committing financial fraud.

    Blaming the "corporation" is like blaming the robber's mask for the robbery. Name the board of directors and controlling shareholders and GET THEIR MONEY BACK.

    Fines for financial crimes should be more than the profit!

    We don't JUST need jobs. We need quality of life giving jobs.

    Slaves had "jobs". We need HIGH PAYING jobs.

    Your voting machines have proven records of faking votes. Did you know? Support open voting machines BEFORE 2012 primaries.

    Automation and robotics will build our future but make sure we ALL get the benefits!

    Robots WILL eventually do your job. The only question left is will you establish wealth sharing rules so get the benefit or allow yourself to have no future income and no way to compete with a robot for the job.

    No one got rich alone. They used public roads services and people to do it. They need to pay back.

    Free Trade isn't free. It costs you your standard of living. Demand import duties on cheap labor products.

    Demand fair open media if it uses public airwaves. That's the law.

    If candidates for office had free press then there would be no power in money in politics.

    Run for office FAST before a hack does it for you.

    Fairer taxes and higher minimum wages cured the last depression and it will do it again.

    Public health care should be a choice. Give yourself the choice.

    Post WW2 England started universal health care when broke and bombed out. It revived their economy. What's our excuse?

    Reverse Corporate personhood!

    Corporations should pay taxes like you do.

    Stop the sale of public assets to private corporations.

    Reverse the sale of public assets to private companies.

    Impeach crooked Supreme Court justices on the take.

    Revoke IRS tax exempt status of "charity" foundations and institutions which promote nothing but concentration of wealth.

    Join Us for your future! Bring sandwiches!
    (nice fun invites to passerbys that show you are normal and it might be fun to join you make a big difference. If the middle class doesn't support the gatherings they won't be effective.)

    end employment non compete agreements - pay people if you want them not to compete with you. A free workforce promotes fair competition.

    Make patents applications free for individuals: they are the individual's most important protection against idea theft by unscrupulous businesses.

    End secret lawsuit settlements in cases of health threatening issues. The constitution says PUBLIC TRIALS.

    the policies of the new deal quickly reversed the loss of the middle class . the economy bounced back long before World War 2.
    It will work again.
    Raise minimum wage to a living wage. Exclude the cost of living from taxable income - (restore the true personal exemption which should now be around $25,000) Prohibit companies form extending hours to force them to hir emore people. tax excessive income and inheritance. restore regulations against fraudulent practices and mixing banking and speculation.

    Today we have socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor. fix it.

    Social democracy IS democracy.

    The constitution says representative republic. Capitalism is never mentioned.

    You must stop the crooked businesses to allow the honest businesses to compete.
