I am unfamiliar with the term sand pounding...sounds like something you do in kung fu.
As far as what to do...how about get arrested - refuse to obey a decree you don't belive in. How about putting on a pro-bush shirt, get into the front row at a pro-bush rally, then take it off revealing a different shirt underneath? How about voting for someone else? How about proposing a city ordinance which bans "free speech zones"? How about writing letters to the local paper? How about writing an opinion peice for the local paper? How about discuss this issue with your peers? How about discussing it with strangers on the internet? How about trying to convince others that your position is correct? How about trying to understand both sides of the issue?
Rest assured that the rest of my congregation is doing much more then just whining on the internet. There was a rally up here when Paul Wellstone was running. Dick Cheney himself came to hold a counter rally - complete with free speech zones. Guess where I was...
