Bush Lie Bury Projections

Backbone and allies like IVAW, CodePink and more utilized creative tactics to grab the media's attention and make our shared values more visible at the opening of the Bush presidential library and policy institute.

 

An administration whose failed policies and warmongering doesn't deserve a memorial, the fact that people laugh at the idea of a Bush Library is a testament to their folly. The Bush Lie-Bury is a reverse memorial to the 8 years (a following wake) of fallen lives and squandered opportunities that has led this country down such a terrible path.

 

By day, activists used bobble-head paper mache puppets rendered in the likeness of Bush, Cheney and the rest of his gang to force Dallas police to arrest them, giving us a cathartic if only symbolic relief. At night, activists agitated and inspired onlookers with light projections in downtown Dallas affirming and making our values visible. The creative tactics utilized earned the attention of the media who has largely ignored objections to the memorial.
