Top Pun in Action - Pictures
|
Top Pun, pictured to the far left, is only one
small slice of life on the Washington, D.C. Mall on Saturday, January 27,
2007, as hundreds of thousands of Americans gathered to protest the illegal
Iraq war. As you can see, Top Pun is fully equipped as a mobile
epicenter of peacemaking. Top Pun packs and displays eight different
peace buttons, with a total stock of over 600 buttons, utilizing many
obvious and not-so-obvious "pockets of resistance." The unique "hands
down the best" self-supporting three-sided protest sign floats like an
anarchist's halo, which provides the maximum overhead for the least effort.

 On
Tuesday, April 12, 2005, Top Pun (pictured as all ways to the left) rallied
with thousands of other Ohioans at the Ohio Statehouse. This rally was
organized by The Campaign to Protect Ohio's Future. Top Pun participated
as part of Jobs with Justice Toledo, which took three buses full of
demonstrators (see
Jobs with Justice pledge). The Campaign to Protect Ohio's
Future is a coalition of over 370 health, human services, primary and secondary
education and higher education organizations, which calls on Ohio Legislators to
protect Ohio's most vulnerable citizens by restoring or adequately funding vital
services through a responsible budget that as its primary priority meets basic
human needs and providing sufficient funds to invest in Ohio's future. Top
Pun took over 80 photos from the April 12th rally. View
protest pictures from this rally. |

to the left is Dan Rutt, alias "Top Pun" (it's just, my pun name) marching
as a Jobs with Justice member in
Toledo's Labor Day parade. Of course, that's him marching to the far

 Pictured
here is Dan Rutt, alias "Top Pun" (it's just, my pun name) showing off his
"pockets of resistance," that is a vest full of anti-Bush buttons. This
photo was taken at an anti-Bush demonstration to greet candidate George W. Bush outside of Fort Meigs
(a mighty fortress is our Bush) in Perrysburg, Ohio, near Toledo.
Top Pun and hundreds of citizens from northwest Ohio endorsed an end to
the reign of King George, his heinous' last bus stop before the Republican
National Convention, where record numbers of Bush protesters will carry on
the greeting. View lots of
anti-Bush protest pictures. |

 On
the right (or is that IN the right?!) is a protest against war in Iraq,
sponsored by the Northwest Ohio Peace Coalition. Protests are held every Sunday at a different busy intersection in Toledo, Ohio, USA, Planet Earth. I'm the person in the middle with all the buttons (of course),
holding the sign saying, "Truth is the First Casualty of War: Stop the
Hypocrisy."
The Northwest Ohio Peace Coalition, at Monroe Street and Collingwood Boulevard, registers opposition to possible U.S. military involvement in Iraq. The group formed after Sept. 11, 2001, to oppose indiscriminate bombing in Afghanistan.
