DON'T JUST VOTE, REVOLT!

Post-Election Drum, Dance, Shout party

Election Night! NOVEMBER 2nd, 2004

8 p.m. - Market Square, Portsmouth, N.H.

Not really sure on the candidates? Feel like you're choosing the lesser of 
two evils? Feelin' downright depressed cause of this sad state of affairs? 
Well come shake it off with others of like mind in Portsmouth's Market 
Square the night of the election!

The electoral process in this country has become more fraudulent than 
Nixon, more fake than plastic, and more superficial than reality TV shows. 
No need to rant because you probably already know. Participation in our 
communities can not be limited to casting ballots every four years, in 
fact, that's just about the most lazy "democratic" participation ever 
practiced! And about half of the country's population don't even take that 
up. With regard, the feeling of ineffectiveness and hopelessness resonates 
in all of us.

This is not a pro-voting, pro-candidate, pro-party get together where 
partisans can come to shout their freakin' heads off. Please, spare us, we 
get mouthfuls of it from sun up to sun down day in and day out. This is a 
public expression of all that passion, frustration, and whatever the hell 
else can't fit in those narrow ballot boxes. So get up!

BRING: drums!, guitars, horns, noise makers, buckets, pots, pans, anything 
musical (or not). Flashlights and other spectacular items. Banners, flags, 
signs (no Candidate/Party signs for god sakes), puppets, costumes, 
whathaveyou. Bring everything and anything seen fit to express the utter 
futility of the election!

its the most important party of all! (pun intended)

Hope to see you all there.
