Posters placards and signs that we are here!

Just saw this link about 100 best placards in Wisconcin - and it made me think, we all want to try and say something, well some of us. Its not enough to march but trying so say what we are connected to. Is the frustration of the mass media not representing the full picture of anti cuts actions and ideas permeating through a wider group part of the reason?

Noticed that many press photographers like to take the diy version, the individual response, rather than the pre printed, pre discussed and agreed slogans. Why? They want us to be individualised? Want it to look random, leadership, without ideological ideas within them. That we see the ideolgical game that is being played and have our own ideas that we wish to promote.

Its a battle beyond posters, placards and slogans.. but they are all important and symbols, sometimes suggesting one version of events and truth.
