Establish An Area For Tea Party Graphics (Vanity)
First let me say to the moderator I have searched for a posting/request of this type and not found it. I am an active Freeper and like many of you, participated in the Tea Party effort this past April 15th (San Jose, CA location).
I have always been astounded and always enjoyed the high level of graphics made and posted by my fellow FReepers. It seems to me a natural course of action to have an area were those of us who are so gifted, might have a place to post images and graphics made to protest at the pending Tea Party events to be held this July 4th. In fact, the same image could be posted in at least a pair of resolution settings, appropriate for the size of sign wanted.
There were some small signs made available by our local conservative station, KSFO, but I would like the chance to prepare from a large body of choices some of the graphics so many of you are shown to have made by the many pictures posted from the dozens of events. My family and I would be well equipped. So please consider:
1) Asking the moderator in the Activism area to establish an area for Tea Party signage/posters
2) Create and/or post non-copyrighted/non-trademark encumbered images to FR (this thread, at least to start)
3) Make this an area where activism is encouraged, not being so critical of the items created
Warning: Pure Vanity Portion Follows:
Lastly, I am one of those who has been under siege for over twent-five years in California. It is with my "In-Your-Face" self-defense mentality that I ask one of you to consider making a graphic that poses an answer to the following question:
I am tired of the dirty "Teabagger" label applied to our cause. It is time we flipped this onto our foes. In that vein, I would ask that some of you gifted ones apply yourselves to making images of President Obama, Timothy Geithner, Barney Frank, Anderson Cooper, Rachel Maddow, and others be shown having a teabag dangled on/in their upturned faces and open mouths. This seems a fair return fire volley for the introduction of all the jokes made of our side.
I thank you one and all for tolerating this vanity. See you in the trenches!
