Velvet Revolution’s rolling billboards rolled out tonight.
Please help the effort to keep rolling, and with more banners, by donating here…
To see what was on the other side of the billboard, click here…
We can report that the truck was pulled over by Capitol Police at least 3 times in the first hour it was rolling. Turns out, they’ve got no good reason to ticket it however. Freedom of speech wins…for a few hours anyway…
It’s all our fault they raised gas prices! Just to make it harder for us to do this. 😉
Thank you, Brad for this andespecially for the Cindy picture. I’ve uploaded it to my flikr account and will post it on my blog with a hat tip to you.
God bless you, Brad.
Saw you on Young Turks last weekend. You looked and sounded great. Keep up the good work fighting the good fight. I live-blogged the SOTU address, if you’re interested in reading it later.
Ciao.
WOW! Love those rolling banners! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Step on the gas,.. quick,… here comes the Capitol Police,… what is wrong with you,… you can’t protest like that,.. here in BERLIN,… (WASH. DC).
The SS and brownshirts will be coming after you.
put some floodlights on that thing and let it roll all night long!
Every summer in Royal Oak, MI there’s a see and be seen Dream Cruise on Woodward Ave….cool cars, lotsa dames….and one or two of these rolling billboards featuring graphic pictures of bloody, aborted fetuses for unsuspecting parents to enjoy with their own, newly-traumatized kids….
But thanks to you, Brad Blog, I have seen that these can be used to display far more positive and useful images!
Google: "Arrest Bush 41" … The FBI uses polygraphs to eliminate suspects.
Andrew Sullivan & Arianna Huffington are discussing the state-of-the-ruinin’ speech.
Sullivan just said "…I hope he’s telling the truth…"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why the fuck would this cunter tell the truth!?!???
Get it through your thick…..they are neocon FASCISTS…
And of course we’re going to have to fight them, but for now people need to be prepared for completely altering our elections…
Lynn Landes goes to court.
If all of us could get together, and rush into the courtroom where this case is, just spill all over the damn floor we can start getting instant-runoff voting reinstated…
The more people out there the better, because they don’t have any chance in hell of arresting or charging all of us…and one courthouse shut down, would mean the voting laws COULD AND WOULD be changed…
Similar to what the GOP did in the year 2000…Look it over and think it through.
And finally, ‘Tin soldiers and Nixon’s coming….’
Its Nixon and his band of bastards all over again….and now we need a totally new congress for good this time

What: March for Truth N.Y.C. 2006
When: February 20th 2006, 10:00am
Where: "Ground Zero" New York City
On February 20th 2006, 9/11 Truth activists will convene at "Ground Zero", former site of the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan New York City to march against the U.S. Government’s mass murder of 2,986 Americans on September 11th 2001.
…
Protesters will proceed to march to Attorney General Elliot Spitzer’s office with a letter demanding his resignation for his failure to investigate this crime committed in his jurisdiction despite overwhelming evidence.
We will then confront the media organizations The Nation Magazine, Democracy Now, The New York Times, and A.N.S.W.E.R as symbolic targets of de facto complicity with their silence and neglect of journalistic duties in the face of the greatest crime of the 21st century on American soil -This despite an abundance of specific credible evidence for the Government’s role as the source of the attacks.
The rally will conclude at the office of former N.Y.C. Mayor Giuliani in Times Square, where we will deliver citizen’s warrant for his arrest for his role in the attacks at The World Trade Center and criminal complicity in removing evidence from a crime scene. Civil disobedience will then be encouraged by protesters in an effort to call on fellow Americans to speak out against the colossal crimes being committed in the name of a fraudulent ‘War on Terror" and to demand the U.S. Government be arrested for treason and mass murder.
…
Please spread the word to any and all to come to Ground Zero on February 20th and make their voice heard that this frame-up on humanity in the name of ‘The War on Terror" Ends now.
Please help expose this horrific lie for what it is. Without this, the government’s power is deflated, thier war on terror an obvious hoax.
Google "Steven E. Jones" and "David Ray Griffin" to learn more about prominent scholars who are stepping forward with critical information about what may just be the greatest lie ever sold to the American public.

Re: Rolling Impeachment Banner
It is interesting to see it in a big font in one place, but imagine it on every telephone pole in the country.
Please consider resizing it to fit an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet (PDF?) and creating a link for anyone to download…then announcing the fact. The PDF should have the URL on it so others who see it can download and do their part.
An impeachment sign on every telephone pole….I can see it…can you?
Wow, TRUTH, that rocks!
I actually bought my folks tickets to see Giuliani speak. He’s on the lecture tour making millions. And once I started realizing something was up with 9-11, and Giuliani was likely complicit, I canceled the order.
Okay, not much of a revolt, but a small, symbolic one.
GO, VR!!!!!!!
NOW: only one week left to sign the petition urging Senator Boxer to champion fair elections! The only way we’re going to drive out the fascists is by unplugging their power source–the stolen election machine.
Click here to ask Barbara Boxer to lead the fight for fair elections!
Diebold is currently rolling across America just in time for ’06. Unless a prominent politician (Kerry, ahem? Yeah, right. Pussy…) speaks out and forces the mainstream media to address this issue, we’re all in big, big trouble. Boxer was the only senator to stand up against the seating of the Ohio electors in the stolen 2004 election. I believe she can be swayed. Urge everyone you know who cares about the fate of America to sign this petition:

PS. B&W would make it cheaper to print/photocopy many copies.
Great work, Brad!
We need a few thousand more of ’em! And dudes driving them who say things like "We’re on a mission from God."
Again, kick-ass, man!
#13 Wish I could join you but I am on the left coast. I absolutely agree that until congress starts addressing the 911 issue, I am not willing to address them. When I hear someone talking and spouting the official spin I immediately turn off. 911 and stolen elections are hot buttons for me. Speak Truth or do not speak, will issue forth from my mouth to anyone asking for my dollar for their campaign. The ‘good guys’ will not even address 911, why. The evidence is abundant. This was an inside job..plain and simple. M4
Hey Bob! I want you to take Byrd’s seat in the Senate.
Bob,
You should run for Byrd’s seat in Nevada. Please do so. Its time to put them ALL on notice and only through this kind of icy pressure will we do it.
Doug E.
Joe (#14) –
Our own JPentz of ReallyNews.com has made a printable WORD version of the first graphic available if you wish to make your own noise, in your own hometown!
Ha! check out this flag picture
ain’t that the fkn truth!
Tide turning in Virginia and all through the west….
Basically, senators are getting ousted especially republican senators. Though even with no more voting machines, or real elections, we are not guaranteed a real congress until we have instant runoff voting….
Doesn’t matter how many repuks or dems we throw out. Without a true, strong, and determined third party we will not be able to choose people who truly represent our own god damn cities.
It was KStreet, and foreign spies galore which led to this shitstorm. We need to get rid of it from the bottom up, it is that serious, and we need to go to war to do it!
Doug E
GREAT coverage on Cindy Sheehan’s arrest. Thank you for providing that coverage at a crucial time when the rest of the MSM were pumping out the White House Propaganda that Cindy had been demonstrating and knew that was against the law in the Capitol. So thanks to sources like you, we set the MSM straight and called in complaining that they might as well move their news desk into the West Wing if their gonna abandon any shred of journalistic Honesty.
One tiny, question, Brad. This was the first time I was on this site and I was kinda…..shocked….to see the WALL STREET JOURNAL at the TOP of the BLOG — In that foremost Advertising Spot on the Blog. (Obviously there is rotation of different ads in this spot). But this morning when the TV news was quoting what the different newspapers were saying re: the SOTU, they said the WALL STREET JOURNAL praised the President on his handling of the health care ….something or other…(I tuned out
SOTU,
Subversion
Of
Truth
Unending
More SOTU criticism here.
NUKULAR!! *grinz*
Hey, speaking of the SOTU, check out this article from AP.
Bush Skips Complex Realities in Address
Holy s**t – did I fall into an alternate universe or something while I slept?
Reporters concerned with facts – who’d a’thunk it!
Alito looked very nice in his new robe. Dont ya think?
The president’s statement that "we are addicted to oil" could be proof that we are being watched. The following statement was made on this BLOG a year ago:
"Can a nation be horribly addicted to oil and preach effectively to other nations about democracy when they invade weak oil-rich nations and occupy them?" (link here).
And "oil barons are even more addicted to [oil]" (link here).
George Bush 2006:
"every year of my presidency, we have reduced the growth of non-security discretionary spending."
In other words – we have cut from all the social programs which help people in order to fund Haliburton for the illegal war in Iraq.
Dwight D. Eisenhower 1961:
"we — you and I, and our government — must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering, for our own ease and convenience, the precious resources of tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage. We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow."
Quite a contrast!!!
#1: Lying, cheating, stealing weasel.
#2: Statesman & Patriot.
After his token eulogy to CS King, Bush knowingly began his SOTU address with a massive lie: "On Sept. 11, 2001, we found that problems originating in a failed and oppressive state 7,000 miles away could bring murder and destruction to our country. Dictatorships shelter terrorists and feed resentment and radicalism, and seek weapons of mass destruction."
We now own every document, every filing cabinet and every computer in Iraq and no one has ever been able to make a connection with Saddam to Al Qaeda, nor find weapons of mass destruction.
Yet, as far as I know, no commenter bothered to remark on this, "the Big Lie." Of course, I was watching ABC news which lately has been getting nearly as bad as FOX. Can anyone tell me if any other network picked up on the lie?
Ricky:
Alito looked very nice in his new robe. Dont ya think?
Why don’t you go gay-marry him?
Brad, how come you weren’t arrested for driving around with a billboard, like Cindy Sheehan was arrested for freedom of speech? I guess the 3rd Reich let you go on that one.
Bush: "We’re addicted to oil."
This is the 6th State of the Union speech he said that, and the 6th one where he said he’s going to do something about it. Next year will be the 7th, and 2008 will be the 8th (if he’s not impeached). How many dumbasses cheered when he said he’s going to do something about it? How many dumbasses cheered for the 6th straight year? Unbelievable!!!
How’s Bush coming along on that hydrogen car? I heard Ricky, Paul, and MediumWong have one already…
Ricky/Paul/MediumWang:
I have one of those hydrogen cars, and I’m getting 50billion mpg…I’m doing my part to follow Bush’s plan to get "unaddicted" to oil. What are you doing? Do you have a Bush/hydrogen car like I do???
I also have one of Bush’s "NUKE-EEE-YUR" cars, too, and I’m also getting 50billion mpg on it…
The State of Our Union
Cannot be more vividly illustrated than by the picture of Cindy being grabbed by a Capitol Police guard last night. That is where our union is…
Cyteria [Post #31]:
Thanks for your comments. I truly hope that our neo-con friends in both parties (66% Republican, 34% Democrat) actually read your comment and started to ruminate on it seriously.
But, let me take your argument one step further:
IT IS QUITE DIFFICULT FOR ANYONE TO ASSUME (AS VP CHENEY SOMETIMES ADMITS TO) THAT IRAQ AND AL-QAIDA ARE RELATED IN ANY WAY WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT OSAMA BIN LADEN ADDRESSED SADDAM AS "INFIDEL." IN THAT PART OF THE GLOBE, INFIDEL IS THE WORST TITLE/INSULT ONE MUSLIM CAN GIVE TO ANOTHER.
I don’t about the rest of you, but I sure would never try to link the two men given that kind of hostile environment.
TO ALL:
Last night, after SOTU, MSNBC interviewed my boy, Sen. John McCain. With his usual aplomb, my man attempted to "stand in the gap" and lower tensions and work with Democrats, asking that both sides negotiate in earnest on the topic of Alternative Energy supplies.
At the end of his interview, Sen. McCain, like the penultimate statesman he is, asked for both sides to decrease tensions and hatred for each other and start to talk and negotiate.
Dear Folks at Bradblog… this is what I wanted all along. If the neo cons had held open talks and negotiations, there would have been civility in Washington by now. We would likely not even be a blog here… because our concerns would be discussed in open negotiations with the neocons in the halls of Congress and the 50 state legislatures (where they truly belong!!!)
Even the president himself called for this at the beginning of SOTU… but no one (myself included) would listen to him because he was one of the instigators of this bitterness many years ago.
I hoid dat Osama Bin gettin’ good gas mileage, too, b/c he gots one o’ dem’ der’ Bush/HI-DRO-GIN cars, too…dat’s why dey can’t catch ‘im….
(ok, I’ll stop it)
Best. Billboard. Ever.
As others said upthread, if this could be downloadable for a 8 1/2 x 11 version, that would be great. 6 or 7 of us could print and stick them here and there.
Doug at # 23 etc. — Just in case some BB readers are unfamiliar with instant runoff voting mentioned by Doug, here’s a link with basic info. Doug’s right – IRV could be a major element in breaking the stranglehold of corporatist political control in our election current system.
As usual, Diebold is always right there doing their obstruction of democracy thing. (here)
That’s "current election system".
Brad;
Here is something you will be interested in:
http://www.local6.com/news/6647094/detail.html
It seems that Cindy wasn’t the only one kicked out last night. A Republican’s wife was also kicked out. The big difference is the Repukes wife gets asked to leave, Cindy gets forced out and arrested. Guess your party affiliation dictates your treatment by Capital Police.
