Signs, signs…
While I desperately wish I could have attended Jon Stewart’s Rally to Restore Sanity, I can at least be comforted by the fantastic signs that were there. I pulled my favorites from these websites (mostly news articles and forums). Sorry in advance for the lack of fanciness; I can’t stand slideshows.
No commentary necessary–they’re clever enough:

Protesting Immigration: Attitude Congruency and the Behavioral Component of the Third-Person Perspective
This study examined the relationship between attitude congruency and third-person perceptions of influence of news media.
Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of this relationship on willingness to support protests, using immigration as a topic.
Findings indicate that attitude-congruent news stories have strong perceived influence on individuals, but not on others. Individuals were supportive of attitude-congruent protests, but TPP and the news stories were unrelated to protest support.
Traditional operationalization of the behavioral component is questioned.
