Hilarious. With his office surrounded by protesters, Darrell Issa went to his rooftop and tweeted this picture. I can think of no better argument for the freewayblogger method of protest sign making than the picture above. I linked up with fellow Kossack kck in the comments of my last post and paid a visit, showing how easy it is to make Really Large Signs with cardboard, paint and a projector. Originally the sign was supposed to read “We demand healthcare policies based on morality and compassion.” We decided to distill it down to “Issa: Google ‘Compassion.’” Good thing too, because there’s a few dozen signs down there, but only one you can read if you’re hiding on the rooftop.
Our right to free political speech is far and away the greatest weapon we have, and it’s time we started using it to it’s fullest potential. Apart from advocating violence, there’s practically no constraint on what we can say, how many times we can say it, or how large we make our words.
Hopefully some San Diego Kossacks will post more about this. It was great meeting with y’all and I hope to return soon. In the meantime, consider starting your next sign with the words “Hey, Rapunzel…”
