Since this is a grass roots campaign, I do not want to get into making it a big organized production. There are a few things though we can do to make the protest bigger and better. Here is a list of some things you can do to help us out.
- 2-3 press releases - assigned
- Logo, someone suggested something with "Don't Tread on Me" flag
- open - Set up a Cafe Press store
- Letters to the editor - open to whomever wants to write one
- Flyers, nothing too fancy, just something to help spread the word - open
Finally, the best thing you can do is tell two more people about the protest and see if they will come.
Here are some ideas for mottos. Corry, I'm a huge Thomas Jefferson fan. So I tend toward one of them.
