In what could be called the American Tea Party, a huge and growing number of Americans are fighting back against the extraordinary amount of money being spent on bailouts to an unprecedented number of companies and individuals in the private sector.
As large numbers of demonstrations and demonstrators continue to grow, there’s the large number of messages communicated through hand held signs.
These signs are fascinating in the small number of words and images that can convey powerful and unambiguous thoughts and words.
Some are hilarious, others serious, and many just plain cantankerous. Either way, they’re entertaining, creative and interesting.
