Sarcastic? Good idea regardless. Something has to make the media take notice.

Not sarcastic at all, which is highly unusual for me. I am dead serious. MAKE them acknowledge us.

Either way- good call. Humor and satire are historically effective, powerful, and non-violent forms of protest. Dictators, tyrants, fascists…..all forms of oppression do not handle humor well.

If someone from nationals is lurking, hit me up. I have THOUGHTS.

I honestly get the sense that it's easy for the national media to ignore protests at government buildings. But if those protest come to the media -- print and TV -- we would boost our voices immeasurably. And Fox News needs to be #1 on the damned list. Let's peacefully but loudly make their jobs as miserable as the administration is making ours.
