So there’s going to be a protest against having Dick Cheney speak at this year’s commemoration commencement tomorrow between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm at the BYU Provo campus. I’ll be attending and possibly some friends.

Apparently BYUs protest was highlighted on CNN news this morning—my history teacher noted today that it’s like a “canary in the coal mine” when the most conservative college within the most republican state protests against the vice president. That sounds newsworthy to me—so there’s a possibility we’ll have cameras there tomorrow.

The BYU Democrats have taken a role in promoting the event. They’ve asked that we:

• Say what we like, as long as it isn’t about the Church’s First Presidency.
• Wear a white shirt (not necessarily a tie, but that might be fun!)
• Bring picket signs and that sort of paraphernalia.

I wonder if you have any ideas with regard to point number 3 above. So far, I’ve thought of a couple of signs I might make:

“Darth Vader doesn’t belong among the Jedi Knights”

and

“Does BYU support the crook along with the office?”

If you wish you could attend but can’t, please feel free to brain storm with me until tomorrow morning.
