- try to have http://freemarciapowell.blogspot.com/ running along the bottom, so people who actually talk to you can get the website address;
- think about having some signs targeted at specific politicians that you might use several times between now and elections;
- bring extra sign-making supplies if possible - you can make new signs on the back of existing ones, and want some flexibility in case you get a great idea or see a new target.
- Make fliers to tape along the route.
- Sidewalk chalk does a pretty job - gorgeous on blacktop. Flourescent colors are great. Take photos for us - especially if your art is being admired. Bring a bucket so the whole family can draw "free marcia powell" everywhere...well, I don't know what city laws say about where that's okay though, so think on it....
- I carried my signs to the parade route inside a flattened box, which I tucked under my arm, then set up the box when I got there, on which I taped one of my signs near the beginning of the route where I anchored myself. That can double or triple one's sign-holding capacity, and it can be positioned strategically for the crowd, the media, or the parade marchers to see. I also used the box to put some of my extra signs, supplies, etc. in - very useful if you plan to chase after the governor's car.
(remember: packing tape, poster board, broad ink pens/paint, moving box)
** some stats on the incidence of suicides, PTSD, substance abuse among vets would also be helpful for signs or fliers - just tie it to the prison industrial complex somehow**

(I know - what's with the Thomas one? He has a few innocence claims to deal with before he leaves office - he can't just keep people sitting there - he needs to let some people free. Let's push on him to free Courtney. We need to make the innocence claims a campaign embarrassment, getting out the message that this could happen to anyone if he becomes Attorney General. People should be warned that his ego and refusal to admit a mistake makes him a dangerous, not necessarily "successful" prosecutor.)
