Blue-fingered solidarity
Get out your blue magic markers, stamp pads, whatever…and ink up to show solidarity and support for Iraqi democracy!
Via Matt Margolis, a ten year-old girl had the idea:
It will symbolize our support if we wear ink on our fingers,” Shelby said. “We’re not forcing them to vote, but they have a chance to do it and they should take that chance.”
Shelby said Saturday afternoon she hoped to set up a stand at Rimrock Mall today where people could sign their names and roll their fingers on a stamp pad, but her plans were not yet inked.
She’d love to wake up Monday morning and see people around the United States with blue index fingers.
“Do you have your blue ink?” she asked. “It’s food for thought.”
So turn your finger blue, take a picture, and send it to Matt HERE, and it will be posted online in the gallery!
UPDATE: Dan at Riehl World View has some blue-fingered pictures for the pessimists…hahaha

I got my blue finger picture. Actually, I did it to my thumb. I didn’t realize the vote was for the fingers until after I had cleaned up and posted my entry.
