Event Description:

This event will go on, rain or shine.  Thousands of US troops and Iraqis are dying in Iraq -- The least we can do is to show our support for this event even if the weather is not spring-like and sunny.  Bring rain gear, your long underwear, and a hat.  Let's show Houston that we won't let a little weather interfere with our stand for peace, and that we want our troops home now.

When:
Sat. Mar. 11, 2-6 pm

Bring any of this if you have it, but don't go out and buy any:
*Dark paint (latex only, please -- alkyd or oil-based paint takes too long to dry)
*LARGE cardboard, old sheets, old political yard signs, or anything large, lightweight, & paintable
*1.5 - 3" Paint brushes (we already have some, including larger ones and rollers)
*Something to share for dinner if you want to stay afterwards (or money for something to be delivered)

To find large pieces of cardboard, go by your favorite dumpster or call a nearby appliance store to ask when is a good time to get large boxes when their trucks return from delivery.
Fold the cardboard parallel to the corrugations if needed, to fit into your car.
We can duct tape smaller cardboard pieces together.
Old sheets make great signs/banners, too, and hold up if it rains better than cardboard.

Be sure to wear clothes and shoes that are OK to get paint on.  We have several old T-shirts you can borrow.

The Freeway Blogger web site http://www.freewayblogger.com/ has lots of great examples, with photos of some of the hundreds and hundreds of signs that have been placed on freeway overpasses and other visible locations in all 50 states.

The simple procedure: http://www.freewayblogger.com/howto.htm

Everyone is invited to help us make signs, so feel free to forward this to others who may believe in the 1st Amendment.
