A good sign:

Anti-War
Anti-Violence
Anti-State

Some people will be confused because many don't use the term "state" like we do but maybe it will inspire questions and dialogue.

Will the super-old-fart-patriot and meter maid have a staring contest with us again? Only time will tell  ::)

What? Pictures?

Also taking the positive angle may make a good sign.
Pro-peace
Pro-freedom

If I was going to do an anti sign, I'd have fun with it.
Anti-War
Anti-Bush
Anti-UN

I've gone several times.  I'm sorry I failed to ever post it here.   :o  I wasn't aware the meter maid is there.  It would be weird if I was friends with the ticketmaster.   :blush:

Consider putting it on the Keene calendar:
http://calendar.freekeene.com

You can make it repeat there, so you don't have to keep coming back to update the dates.

I was twenty minutes late to the protest this morning, but I made up for it by staying until 1330.  The weather was beautiful, and the response to the protestors was overwhelmingly positive.  We did draw the occasional unlettered comment from passing cretins (you know the sort), but, all in all, I was pleased with the reception.

You probably saw Jesse's sign- "Make awkward sexual advances, not war".
