What to Wave, What to Wave (UPDATED with print signs)

Posted by Wyoh | Filed under Propaganda Supplies

Our friend Robb bemoans the fact that he isn’t smart enough couldn’t think of anything to put on a sign meant to be waved about at a Tea Party. Well, there are other places out there where folks have pondered little else, and there are some good ideas out there:

Cap and Trade = Broke and Poor

Is this what you voted for?

Pay for Your OWN Mortgage

Free Markets, Not Free Loaders

Don’t Mortgage the Future

No Taxation Without Deliberation

You Can’t Borrow Prosperity

Party Like It’s 1773

Proud American Capitalist

Save Trees, Stop Printing Money

Give Me Liberty Not More Debt

Silence = Consent

The most important thing to remember is BE SUCCINCT. One of the points of this is to change other people’s minds about the madness currently emanating from Washington, and causing a forty-car pile-up because someone slowed down to read your Thomas Paine-like epistle is kind of detrimental to the overall message.

Here’s more slogans, and even someone who has made up lovely signs you can print off on your own printer.

Hmm… Stand by for Simon Jester signage.

UPDATE: Getting started on the sign graphics, which is slow going since my Photoshop copy needs updating. (Hey…buy t-shirts so I can upgrade Photoshop!)

INSTRUCTIONS: Download the file to your local machine (right click-save as), then either burn it to CD or copy it to a flash drive and take it to your copy shop of choice. Have it printed on heavy card stock so it will be sturdy. Average price of a single print is about $2.

Here’s the first:

More signs will be added to the Print Your Own Signs page.

I like the tomato and “Practice self-sufficiency” added to the “grow my own” slogan. There already is a “grow my own” crowd out there and I like to see some clear separation. Actually, “Practice self-sufficiency” is a good slogan by itself.

Awesome. Thanks for the signs! As someone who has already volunteered as well, think I will be dragging that one along with me to my city’s Tax Day… “celebration”.

As for the shirts, good Lord, CafePress has gotten expensive (not so much with the products – those were always on the steep side – but rather with the shipping). Unfortunately, all of my available funds recently went to acquiring durable good investments (in the form of copper and lead), so I might have to wait on the shirts for a time .

Also check out http://www.libertystickers.com. They have some good slogans that can be co-opted into signs.

I personally like to apply their bumper stickers to traffic signs in my area. Stop signs are especially good targets for this kind of message.

Cheers
