Horns & Headlights for Democracy Week

by Tom (tomsfone [at] juno.com)
Plan for day of protest . . .
Next week should be a national day of protest for the stolen election. This is something that might wake up the "silent majority" who supported(?) the most corrupt and ruthless president in our history-

Beginning next Monday, everyone who thinks(or is certain) that Kerry actually won the election should drive with lights on and honk there horns at certain intervals, maybe one minute apart. There should be signs posted on roads and highways so that people who aren't aware of why others are honking their horns and driving with lights on in the daytime will know what is going on. Tell your friends to spread the word!

We can call this Horns and Headlights for Democracy Week and if enough people get involved maybe we can get a footnote in the mainstream propaganda(ABC, NBC, Fox, CBS, newspapers, radio). For this to happen it is going to take just about every American who right now is feeling cheated to participate. This is an act of activism that is perfectly legal and easy for one to do, in the safety of their own car. Driving a car is a big part of an average Americans daily experience, to and from work and wherever, and participating in a protest act in your car allows us to tell others in a key moment of their lives(driving cars) that we will not accept this hijacking of our American right to decide our leaders.

Also, being able to honk your horn and drive with your lights on to protest this fraudulent election and administration will certainly give confidence and momentum to the cause as many people who have never been in a protest situation can easily do so in the comfort of their car! It can also be a good therapy to let off steam!

If you are reading this post, please copy it and send it to others, including any protest/civil rights/antiwar/etc organization that you can think of. If we cannot be heard vocally or through our literary efforts, then maybe the powers-that-be and the sleeping American public will hear us through the loud droning of our protesting horns and flashing headlights!

Good luck and don't forget to turn your lights off after you park!
