I need slogans! Be creative! Have fun!
Hello My Special and Supportive Friends,
If you've been around the message boards or Q&A Boards in the last 10 days or so you know that we've had a big hullaballoo in Alabama with a Mayoral Candidate saying in a newspaper article that "fat people are ugly, disgusting, unsightly and OH SO MUCH MORE!!!" If you want to read the whole unbelievable article it's posted on my profile.
Anyway, we are staging a peaceful demonstration at the polling place on election day and we need come catchy slogans. Everyone will be holding signs. We're trying to walk a fine line.............we don't want to give the message that overweight or obese people shouldn't do anything to improve their health and well being...........and we don't want to be advertising weight loss surgery..........what we do want to get across to the general public is that overweight and obese people have feelings, are equal to anyone else and don't deserve to be discriminated against. I have a couple of examples to share with you that might help you think of some:
Red and Yellow, Black, White AND Obese we are precious in His sight (thanks Cheryl)
Justice For All Includes All Americans........INCLUDING the overweight and obese! (thanks again Cheryl)
"SAY NO TO HARRY LYON"
will be at the top of all the signs.
So - put your thinking caps on and help me come up with slogans. We may use them on signs, buttons, T-shirts and more.
Thank you so much for helping me educate people who don't understand obesity and stopping those who would discriminate against us.
We may not have it all together.........but by sticking together we can have it all.
Hugs,
Rona Scott

For a slogan how about "Obesity is a disease not a choice"
or "Walk a mile in our shoes"
"Obesity needs a cure not a mother f***er like you in office" Oh never mind ditch that one! LOL Couldn't help myself
I'll try & think of some more.
