Slogans for protesting R-Coward

March 6, 2017 10:40 AM

Please suggest slogans for my signs at Tuesdays with Toomey.

Things that make me particularly angry about Toomey:

He claimed he wouldn't be a rubber stamp for Trump. He has been.

He was just re-elected after running as a moderate, including touting his cooperation with Obama on gun control -- but endorsed Trump at the last hour. Ever since then, he has like a disgusting teabagger bought and sold by the Kochs and DeVos.

He has refused to hold a town hall in PA for YEARS, and has never had one in Philadelphia. When he does field questions from constitutents, they're on utter bullshit conference calls or on-camera with pre-screened questions.

He recently moved his office from a regular ol' office building next many other office buildings full of angry professionals who can take an hour to yell at him to an area with fewer of us. He claims this has nothing to do with our regular protests. This will be the first Tuesday With Toomey at his new digs.

No profanity, please, because the security guard in my office building already recognized me from local news broadcasts, and while my bosses at work are uniformly appalled at Trump, they would not appreciate me appearing on the 10pm with a blurred-out sign.

Pithy slogans that appeal to "moderates" and "independents" would be particularly welcomed. Topic of the week is fighting ACA repeal, but I'm angry/would be willing to carry a sign about many things, and had been thinking about something like NEW ADDRESS SAME COWARDICE.

You can pull some stats from this research on how ACA repeal will affect Pennsylvanians. For example, 1.1 million people would lose Medicaid and exchange subsidies.

He may have run as a moderate, but his background put the lie to that from the start. You may as well put the fear of God in him about the next election, but I don't think you should hold your breath that any of his thoughts or positions are open to the slightest change.

Best answer: The sign I've been bringing to TwT (see you there!) says: "Senator Toomey, I'm not paid to be here, but you are!" and signed with my zip code.

(Also, do you know about the Facebook "townhall" he's holding today at 2:10? As is his habit, he waited until the last minute to announce this so I wanted to make sure you caught it.)

Best answer: According to Nate's Silver's 538 blog, he has voted in line with Trump 100 percent of the time so far this session.

Best answer: A rubber stamp in profile, with the letters T-O-O-M-E-Y down the handle, where the Y is also the Y is also the middle letter of AYE...rubber-stamping the President's bad ideas.

"Suck It Toomey"
(Obviously this does not fit your criteria but I've been waiting for someone to do it)
