What shall our signs say on January 27?

I must confess that while I take protesting in the streets very seriously, I have fun deciding what to write on the sign or signs I carry. (Sometimes I have too many ideas.)

But I would appreciate feedback and suggestions from Kossaks. Do you think that straightforward signs like "Bring the Troops Home" or "Stop the War" are better than attempts to be clever or eye-catching?  

Before the 2004 elections I drew a cartoon cowboy and pasted a photo of Bush where the face would be. It was titled "STOP MAD COWBOY DISEASE." It got itself on the news, briefly, but it clearly wasn't enough to win the election for Kerry.

My sign at the protest after Bush's surge speech said:

NO TO
DOUBLING
DOWN WITH
AMERICAN LIVES

Here's an idea I got from a sign at that protest:

Invade Iraq   and      Surge Troops
  Dumb           and     Dumber

I'm considering stealing the idea I got from Cartoon Peril Peril for next Saturday.

With Bush
Failure's Not an
Option--
It's Standard Equipment

Which made me think of

No More Test Drives
With Our Troops
Bring Them Home Now!

and

Send Bush Toy Soldiers
To Act Out Stupid Plans

Bring Our Troops
Home Now!

or maybe

What are you going to put on your signs?
