This Thursday Obama is holding a health care rally in our basketball stadium (Comcast Center) at noon. I can virtually see this venue from my house off-campus. I plan on going with a group of other students who want to attendt to dissent.

I need help with ideas of what we should do. People are allowed to start lining up at 5am but I'm not going to even think about lining up until doors open (9am).

I need ideas for some signs, shirts, or anyone else that wants to collaborate with the group I'm helping organize at Maryland ( facebook event here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=131965869774&ref=mf )

I like MsD's idea from another thread of having signs showing the Bush/Obama morph. 5 signs, 5 people.

I like that Idea too. We need more people to carry those types of signs it makes the message pretty clear.

I assume you're talking about this: http://www.doobybrain.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/bush-obama-morphing.jpg

How do I logistically make it into a big sign? I've never made one before. Kinkos?

"This Thursday" as in, day after tomorrow?? Wow, short prep time!

A) Pretend like you're an Obama supporter, then if/when you get inside, ask him when he's planning on releasing his college transcripts! :D

B) Create home made placards (the bigger the better) asking, "Mr. President, if your health care plan is so good, will you pledge to place your whole family on the public plan?" or words to that effect.

C) If there's a chance to pass out literature to passers-by, the Campaign for Liberty web site has some good fliers that can be printed and distributed (your local print shop can probably print them fast, professional and cheap - better than using your own printer, and faster!)

D) If you have enough friends/co-protesters, you can start up a chant of "Wilson was right! Wilson was right! Wilson was right!" or, if you want to be really mean: "You Lie!" "You Lie!" "You Lie!" :eek:

What ever you do, have some fun!!

If you are able to do the morphing signs, a chant of "meet the new boss same as the old boss!" would be a nice match for it.

eta: if you have the ability to make a loop of that line in the song and have it playing over and over, you will save your voice and achieve the same effect.

You could burn some DVDs (hopefully you can get access to industrial mass dvd burning equipment) and burn some dvd's of a healthcare talk:http://mises.org/MultiMedia/mp3/MU2009/MU2009_Block_07-31-2009.mp3

Also hand out single paper fliers with condensed, concise natural rights or free-market arguments:

“Medical care is not a right. Medical care is a service provided by doctors and others to individuals who want to purchase it. A patient presents to the doctor with a request for care. The fact that the patient has a serious condition – even a life threatening one – does not entitle him, as his right, to the services of the doctor. To claim that he does means that doctors and others who provide these services have no rights, or that society can deliberately ignore these rights for the “greater good”. If the exercise of a patient’s so-called “right” to healthcare imposes obligations on taxpayers to pay for it and healthcare practitioners to provide it, then it is not a right, but an attempt to enslave one part of the population for the benefit of another part. In reality, these types of so-called “rights” are offered to groups of Americans by politicians in exchange for votes. Claims on humanitarian concerns are merely a fig leaf over a naked power grab by the state.”

sigh: "general welfare" is preamble, not an itenarated power

Assuming they let you in

Questions:
1) Anything with Constitutional authority and call him out on it
2) Something about his czars and their authority
3) Something about removing existing gov't mandates that already impede healthcare

Signs:
I Pledge: To uphold the Constitution from enemies, both foreign and domestic.
To undermine your agenda on creating a socialist/facist/communist naiton.
To vote out your cronies in 2010

ask him why he wishes to give an unconstitutional fraudulent corporation controlling our fiat monetary system even more power.

Ask him why he won't support hr1207

come up with some chants like: "bankrupt the country, bankrupt the country - yeah Obama" - and "Marx was cool, Obama's cooler, Go communism!" - "spend, spend. spend - free handouts for everyone!" and chantum like you mean um - like they are a good thing.

you used to be able to get this novelty item which was a box where you pushed a button and it let out laughing sounds really loudly. If there are enough of you and you can find them - spread out through the crowd and ...

I wish I could go...can't cause of work.

If I could, I would try to get inside. It would be interesting to be picked for a question (assuming he does a Q/A)

If you get to ask him a question, ask him if he realizes that he's half white.

Ask him what all this spending is going to do to the currency. That would be an interesting answer from him!

Tell him it's not too late to have a revelation and work for the greater good of the American people and Mankind, and that we will help him if he exposes his puppet masters. =)

Is this supposed to be a University of Maryland event or a Nationwide Obama Event?

I ask because I got a robocall last night from Organizing For America - paid for by the DNC -- asking me to go to that event. And I live in Virginia. So just wondering if it's billed as a University of Maryland thing and they're trying to get as many Obamabots as possible there to make it look good for him.

It's for everyone and anyone. People will start lining up at 5am. Please come.

Thank you for some ideas people but I seriously doubt I'd be able to ask any questions.

I still need signs for ideas, and because this is a healthcare rally wouldn't it make more sense to make a sign pertaining to healthcare/the constitution/economy etc?

do what Freedoms Phoenix did. Hand out thousands of copies of America: Freedom to Fascism and put Liberty flyers everywhere. I think they put Alex Jones on the radio too there
