Opening
Day Sign
Instructions:
Get
a roll of white plastic tablecloth, clothes line cord twice the length
of the home and red spray paint. You'll also need a brown paper bag, some
spray cooking oil and an iron. On a large table lay a board to iron
on. On top of that board place a metal house screen. You will place the
two pieces of table cloth on top of the board and screen with a large
piece of brown paper bag on top of the plastic. Spray cooking oil on the
bag to prevent it from sticking. Then iron with the long edge of the iron
moving the iron slowly to seal the plastic together. Test your work and
go over if needed. Make two seams for double assurance of sealing. The
screen creates perforations of sealed plastic. Seal three rows of table
plastic together the length of the house and then lay the clothes line
along the top and bottom and flip over about three inches and seal the
line into the slot made. Seal the sides before sealing the top and
bottom. Tie the sign up on the house and spray paint "Y'ER OUT! W"
Then cut half circle patterns with the flap down every so often and the
wind will not blow it out. Takes about four hours. Want one done?
$300. Spray paint is not permanent, will scratch off. maybe I can find
a better more receptive plastic.
Just
Thought of:
Get those old campaign yard signs
with the plastic over wire and turn the plastic inside out and paint your
slogan. I suggest using lines from protest songs. We put one in our yard
that says, "The Great Warriors Stand For Peace."

The
History of the Protest Signs, June 2001
Awhile ago Cincinnati had some
race riots. In an effort to help the change that will be needed I have
decided to make protest signs for demonstrations and rallies.
I will be making a 20”
x 30” signs painted both sides with a thin wood stick to hold it
with. I will just show up a couple of hours before a rally and make signs
for anyone that wants them.
When I was in high school I used to make a lot of posters
for game rallies and dances. The process advanced itself into silk screen
posters. When the school decided to change the administration against
the students wishes I made arm bands and posters for the demonstrations.
Quotes
From The Cincinnati Unrest
“We call for an immediate and total withdrawal of travel and
tourism business from Cincinnati,” said Juleana Frierson, spokeswoman
for the Cincinnati Black United Front.
”We will no longer tolerate Cincinnati apartheid,”
Maybe they will listen to the pocketbook if not to us,” said the
Rev. Stephen Scott of the Coalition for Equality and Justice.
Cincinnati CAN has shown it cannot work,” said Frierson.
Paul Bernish, a Cincinnati CAN spokesman, said that judgment is premature.
Cincinnati CAN has taken action by bringing people together to grapple
with the issues that led to the riots, Bernish said.
”Those issues didn’t arise overnight and won’t be resolved
overnight,” he said. Judgments about Cincinnati CAN’s effectiveness
should be withheld until then

Mike Harmon is part of the solution to Cincinnati’s woes. he
is backing a mediator seeking 8,000 people to fill out a form at: http://206.21.41.181/questionnaire/address.lasso.
He said in a Cincinnati Enquirer article Monday June 25th,
“I feel very positive about the process.” “I don’t
think litigation warfare would solve the problem. It’s the most important
thing I’ve ever done as a lawyer.”
I went and filled in the form. I had only one goal: For the police
ands the community to be one. The way I proposed this is to make protest
signs for rallies and demonstrations.

Signs
and Chants of Protest
Signs of Protest. As demonstrations become commonplace throughout the
world, creative
tactics are coming into play. Here are some examples of signs that have

Signs. CONTENTS, FABRICATION AND USE RECOMMENDATIONS. ... http://libertarian-resources.com/promotion/psigns.htm
Structure: Rules vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but many cities
restrict the size of wood stakes to ¼ inch thick lathe so any structural
material can’t be used as a club (and can’t hold anything large
enough to dominate TV coverage).
Strategy: Use different background colors and put different messages on
each side so that when you rotate or flip the sign, it attracts attention.
For example: “Rapists love disarmed victims” on one side and
“Tyrants love disarmed peasants” on the other. Have multiple
people hold a series of separate signs that when placed adjacent to each
other read as one. Rotating the signs in unison to a chant really grabs
attention.
Construction: Staple first side to stake. Flip. Staple or tape edges of
second side to first side. Staple second side to stake.
Options: Attach small flags or flashy wind turbines to your signs if it’s
windy. Attach helium-filled balloons, or use balloons to lift your sign
above all others if it’s not.

Look close and you’ll see the brushstrokes, especially as Father
Time takes His toll. Irregular, colorful and amazing. Again, these are
NOT stock photos and are absolutely NOT for commercial use. Sorry for
some redundancy between pages, a few fall into several categories but
may be replaced as I scan more. http://www.pjchmiel.com/photo/handpaint.html
