Because Bush won't answer America's Questions: "Question W"
....Announcing the Launch of...
It is growing massive. It has become newsworthy. It can be devastating.
And yet, it's so simple.
- We, the people, have chosen to hijack the question mark. If the Bush administration can hijack the media, the truth,
and the Constitution, we will hijack: Questions!
WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING
George W. Bush can run, but he can no longer hide from our questions. "Question W" draws attention to the hundreds of
questions the world has about this administration and its policies. A simple --?-- will do, or you can add graphics
(Graphics Gallery for ?: http://www.talion.com/Q-images.html), questions (Questions gallery -- and add your own -- http://www.talion.com/Qs.html), or use issue-oriented --?-- artwork ( http://www.talion.com/Q-art.html).

MOST CREATIVE QUESTIONING OF W:
The "Empty Chair" event held last weekend in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Read story, see photos: http://www.talion.com/Q-public.html. An empty chair, set on a pedestal in front of the Round House (State House) in Santa Fe proclaimed W's absence.
Nevertheless, some 150 citizens ranging in age from eight to 80 asked their questions to the empty chair, which wore a
sign that said "Where's George?"
The media busily jotted notes. One reporter then tracked George Bush down at a nearby golf course. "I'm not answering
questions," Bush replied. "When I say I'm not answering any questions, it means I'm not going to answer questions, but
thank you for trying."
Chapters of the Empty Chair project have now been set up in 30 cities, and it is the group's intent to allow citizens to
question the empty chair in every city that "W" travels to. A web site is soon to appear for the Empty Chair Project,
stay tuned.
HOW DID QUESTION W GET STARTED?
Originally from ideas by American Stranger, Bartcop ( http://www.bartcop.com), and Take Back the Media ( http://www.TakeBackTheMedia.com). Jeff Matson suggested using the ? as a meme in a post at Democratic Underground ( http://www.democraticunderground.com). Within 48 hours, forum participants had voted on a name, created graphics, contributed artwork, and nabbed domain
names. ProTalion, the new Progressive Communications division of Talion.com ( http://www.talion.com/protalion.html), developed Question W web pages and is publicizing Question W. Global Free Press ( http://www.globalfreepress.com) is hosting a permanent site, which will soon be up at http://www.questionw.com.
ProTalion will soon publicize Question W to the mainstream press, after the world has been seeded with many more
?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿.
Do you solemnly agree: That we must continue questioning W until his regime has ended?
