We members of the Doylestown Run Against Bush group have been getting together every week since early summer, walking and running through the busiest sections of the county seat of the lynchpin county in key swingstate, Pennsylvania. But for this weekend, we had something special cooked up. The plan-- a special Halloween Bush bash, with participants wearing costumes that mock George Bush.

The group of about 20 met at the local library, then paraded through town, lingering at the busiest intersectioin, waving Pro-Kerry and anti-Bush signs, handing out Kerry literature and baggies with "bush-shit" which were actually chocolate covered malt balls, with more literature in each bag.

Doylestown has usually been considered a republican town. But this evening  it seemed that nine out of ten passers by, walking or driving, were Kerry supporters. Another Halloween Bush Bash is planned for the following Saturday, in New Hope PA, at five PM, where there will be thousands of tourists.

Throw your own Halloween Bush Bash.

The idea behind the Halloween Bush Bash is to have a fun get together and to parade through a high visibility area, mocking Bush. Carry Kerry/Edwards signs so it's clear to bystanders why you are there. Bring literature. Pick it up at a local campaign office, or print out this one page flyer. Why vote for Kerry and Against Bush: Here's a link to an MS Word file.  Kerry supporters will love it. Bush supporters will hate it. They told us we should be ashamed of ourselves. Hah. That's the stock republican reply-- shame and fear. But how about those undecideds? Maybe the parade helped the few still undecided to see, with a sense of humor, what a lying, low-life loser Bush really is.  

Use your local listserves and meetups to get the word out, and make sure you let the local media, print and TV know about the parade and that it will be a very visual event.

Reporter/photographer Rob Kall didn't wear a costume in this event, since he rushed to cover it from a day of canvassing in Levittown PA. But, at the next Halloweed Bush Bash, he'll be dressed as a Saudi Prince, operating a puppet on a string Bush.
