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
