God bless those good folks at www.moveon.org. They've created a new contest.
You may or may not recall that during last year's presidential campaign, they created a contest called "Bush in 30 Seconds". You can read all about it here:
www.bushin30seconds.org
See the Winning ad, "Child's Pay" here:

(Sorry about having to copy and paste the links, folks. I'm still working on it.)
The aforementioned "Child's Pay" ad garnered much media attention when CBS refused to air it during the 2004 Super Bowl, despite the fact that Moveon had come up with the required money to pay for it.
An aside: Think about the logic behind that:
Simple, effective, highly creative ad about the dangers of the growing budget deficit = BAD
Ads about "Erections lasting longer than four hours" requiring immediate medical attention = GOOD
At any rate, they now have a new contest out called "Bush in 30 years" (http://www.bushin30years.org/)
You can go to the link if you want, but the long and short of it is that entrants must create a "flash" animation exposing the republican scam to "fix" (a.k.a. "destroy") Social Security. The entries should be short, to the point, and backed up by facts.
So, the call to arms is out. OK all you politi-flash makers out there: Time to step up! This notice has also been posted on h0rk's website (www.horkulated.com). And to the three people reading this blog, I'd love to hear your ideas--submit them as comments. I can't hope to make the flash animations myself (I'm not that much of a techno-geek--I leave that to the professionals) but I will pass along your suggestions, duly accredited, if you wish, to others I know.
Come on, folks. Let's show DUIbya (tm) and all his pals in Congress and on Wall Street that we don't want them destroying Social Security just to make themselves richer.
