Next action for:
The Question Alliance
Saturday, June 17, 2006
10-11:30 AM
Corner of University & Highlands Ranch Parkway
Topic: Terrorism and Iraq
Question: Does U.S. occupation of Iraq incite more terrorism?
According to Warren Strobel of Knight Ridder Newpapers: The number of terrorist attacks documented by the U.S. intelligence agencies jumped sharply in 2005- crossing the 10,000 mark for the first time. Do you think that our presence in Iraq has anything to do with this increased number of terrorist attacks around the world? Does our occupation of Iraq breed hate? Please join us in asking people to think about this issue. You can Google-- Iraq increase terrorism, etc-- for more information.
Please remember that it is important to have the same exact wording on your sign. The exact wording for the question on June 17th is:
Does U.S. occupation of Iraq incite more terrorism?
Please bring family and friends to join The Question Alliance. All are welcome!!
We encourage others to participate in this action in your own neighborhood if you'd like. Just let us know your plans, make sure the question is worded exactly the same as above, and let us know how it goes. Remember we are a peaceful, respectful group that abides by local requirements. We'd like to expand The Question Alliance by having drivers read the same important question at multiple locations the same day!
Children need to be supervised.
This action will be postponed if the weather is too nasty.
You might want to make sturdy signs. It can get windy!
Please contact us with any questions, etc.

Thank you,

What a treasonable idea!
You're right, but there were more than just righties today at the Highlands Ranch event.
We did hear the typical retorts: "Nooooo"; "Get a life"; "Get a job"; "F--- Y--"; "Remember 9/11"; "Thank God for George Bush". But there were some thoughtful and insightful responders, as well.
We feel that even the negative responses are indications that people are reading the signs and contemplating the questions, which is what we want. It felt like there was some extra tension in the air this morning that has been missing the past couple of months -- perhaps due to all the activities this past week. There seemed to be a bit more anger from some but also more people seemed willing to express their opposition to the war by giving us the thumbs up and friendly waves.
Our plans are to press on with Iraq War related questions for the next few times probably. Keeps people thinking.
By the way, today was the 20th Question Alliance event since we started 14 months ago. We had all 4 corners covered by 6 people- hurrah!!!!
