SIGNAL ORANGE

] Signal Orange represents the dead with the living %u2014
] wearing T-shirts in their names. There is one shirt for
] each soldier who died. The front states how he or she
] died, the back reads, %u201C(Rank) (First) (Last)
] can%u2019t vote anymore.%u201D
]
] The signal orange color of the shirt was chosen for the
] same reason it is used where caution is required %u2014
] it%u2019s the most visible color in person, on camera,
] and on video. The shirts are to be worn in places where
] the media is focused, whether that focus is momentary or
] constant. Examples might include the audience outside a
] morning talk show, or a parade, or a sporting event, and
] it certainly includes the Republican National Convention
] in NYC come September.
]
] Signal Orange doesn%u2019t say that these soldiers or
] their families condemn or support the war, and it
] doesn%u2019t speak for them. Whether they opposed or
] supported the war, they were fighting for our right to
] decide democratically whether a war is just or not.
] They%u2019ve been buried twice%u2014once in the ground,
] and once in the media. If we can make them visible in the
] media through Signal Orange, we can demonstrate that they
] had voices that have been lost.

This is some cool stuff. Good use of your voice.

[ Interesting method. Certainly a powerful statement. -k]
