Re: Shouldn't rally be non-partisan?

Yes, it should be non-partisan. But I think some people don't see the

partisan tilt to their comments and it may be just a matter of

pointing it out. Most folks, I would guess, don't naturally think in

non-partisn political terms. It takes a little getting used to.

Having said all that, I say it is time to get more strident and pushy

-- I sense the time is right -- we have them on the defensive.

We need to get prickly about it, like " BUSH POISONS OUR KIDS " or

something like " BUSH & DRUG LORDS HURT OR KIDS " or even " JAIL MERCURY

CRIMINALS NOW! "

What has happened to our children are atrocities and we SHOULD be

acting outraged!

I kinda agree. But, how is bashing Bush partisan? I have HUGE problems with the man personally and as my president. I don't dislike him greatly because he's a republican, but because of his actions, choices, and inability to tell the truth or follow thru with promises. I think people should be free to speak their minds. I also think it's more effective to take a " positive slant " or better yet, like I suggested before, use quotes from the president himself to further our cause.

I also think some people are overly sensitive about dem/rep or lib/neocon, etc. Let's stop putting labels on people and judge them on their character, on their actions. You won't take mercury out of vaccines = You are a bad person! end of story.

like someone asked before, I think it's a good idea to see what other groups have done in the past. there are a lot of ideas that can be recycled. we'll probably come up with a few new ones too.

If the president is partly responsible for this problem, we have the right to express that in a sign or banner.

Hey Hey Ho Ho

Hey

If you want to be non-partisan - how

about

THE

THIMEROSAL/MERCURY POISONING OF A GENERATION:

CLEAN

UP THE PROBLEM CLINTON STARTED & BUSH IGNORES

REMOVE

THIMEROSAL FROM ALL VACCINES

That way the statement is accurate and

does not play favorites and keeps Donkeys and Elephants happy

(Remember the book EOH and states

this is a non partisan problem and started with one leadership and nothing new

has happened with another.)

2 cents in and I don’t care as long

as mercury comes out,

And Bush is responsible for raising the limit of mercury emissions by power plants.
