just doing my pre-requisite part

stolen from [livejournal.com profile] final_girl, who isn't even on my friend's list. yet.

to augment My Plan for the republican convention, might i suggest Signal Orange?
from the website:

If truth is the first casualty of war, then this time, truth is war’s atrocity. Whether you support or oppose the war in Iraq, it’s easy to agree that suppressing information is undemocratic, and it belittles the sacrifices that have been made. How can we feel righteous about something we’re trying to hide?

Signal Orange is a project to make the invisible visible — which is a premise and prerequisite for democracy. The goal of Signal Orange is to unveil the faces that the Bush Administration wants hidden — and to stop pretending that its actions in Iraq are inconsequential.

This is a response: Signal Orange represents the dead with the living — wearing T-shirts in their names. There is one shirt for each soldier who died. The front states how he or she died, the back reads, “(Rank) (First) (Last) can’t vote anymore.”

i agree, but my understanding is that they're meant to be worn outside the republican convention.
which sort of makes it a little less crazy.
