Ok, so I mentioned this idea yesterday and decided to throw this out there. THIS Friday and Saturday, I challenge ALL of you to bring your flag to an Overpass of a major Hiway or Interstate from 5:30pm until your arms fall off! American Flag, Gadsden Flag, Old Glory, Armed Forces/POW/MIA flags, any patriotic flag you have or can find. Find your overpass, park in a safe spot and stand in the middle of the bridge and wave your flag! Bring your video camera to record what you will. Passers by, cars honking, law enforcement encounters(which I highly doubt you will have except maybe a handshake and a pat on the back), any encounter with anti-American evil doers(read: obamazombies), etc.
If you WANT to bring a sign, which I would prefer you not do while standing on a bridge waving a flag, make sure the sign is tasteful and not disrespectful. If you do bring a sign, please have a second person hold it. I would feel HORRIBLE if someone were to fall over with this being my idea and all.
So what say you?
This Friday and Saturday, 5:30pm, every overpass over every major hiway and interstate. Stay until your arms fall off! At least one person to a bridge, please, no more than 2 flags, 2 signs per bridge. The more area we cover, the more attentive people will become.
EDIT: I originally said Just Friday, but added Saturday as more people would be able to do this.
UPDATE: The Indy Defenders of Liberty, Chicks on the Right, and a few other groups are jumping on this idea and it seems they are going a step further. It was discussed and agreed, that we'd do this every Second and Fourth friday of every month. They started calling it "Flag Friday", although I'm not sure if it will stick.
I don't expect people to stay longer than a half an hour waving a flag. In the 40 minutes I was there my arms and hands started hurting, but I plan to stay for an hour tomorrow.
I would really like to see this made into a regular thing from the folks on here, but I understand if you'd rather not or can't. Regardless, I like the second and fourth Friday idea and will be doing so on my own if need be. Once I get my American Flag mounted I will have both to fly by myself.
