I am in the information gathering mode for ideas and events locally and nationally for January 20, 2005. Got any? thanks: howardfordean@yahoo. com. Update: From Dina Lydia: "I am making original signs, some with props and costumes, for two major political rallies in Seattle next week, Martin Luther King Day and Inauguration Day (see details below). I think rallies should be fun as well as serious--that will encourage people to participate. The type of signs I make can be seen here. I obviously can't carry all of these signs myself! I need volunteers to help make statements at the rallies. The signs/costumes get a lot of attention, and some good photo-ops for the media. One idea I had was to have someone dressed as Lady Liberty (ideally not a guy) to represent the 34Dems or West Seattle, since we have the statue at Alki Beach. I can also help anyone make a sign with the name of their neighborhood, or the group they wish to represent, for the I-Day Rally "call-out" event onstage. For those who cannot attend the rallies, but wish to make a statement, I have some bright red posters from NION to put in your window on I-Day. They read: "Not my President! NO!" Those wishing to participate with me, please call Dina 206-517-8033 or dinalydia@yahoo.com. Martin Luther King Annual March and Rally (I'm told this is the biggest in the nation): Monday, Jan 17-Workshops 9:30-10:45 Rally 11-Noon-Garfield Teen Life Center and Garfield High School, 23rd & Jefferson More Info: Call Central Area Motivation Program 206-812-4940.
