Face America: MoveOn's latest stunt
Received via email:Dear MoveOn member,
Top Republicans in the House of Representatives are now vowing to vote on their reverse Robin Hood budget proposal within 48 hours. Your work has helped erode their support, and the vote is too close to call. That's why today we're launching our "Face America" photo petition—calling on Congress to literally look us in the eye and do the right thing.
We're aiming to collect thousands of photos of ordinary Americans with homemade signs, asking Congress to oppose the Republican plan to cut services for poor while handing tax breaks to the rich. To make sure you're heard, we'll deliver every photo to every member of Congress before the final vote and run some as online ads in the newspapers Congress reads...
To help out, upload your picture to flickr, and give it the faceamerica tag. Here's an example featuring a typical MoveOn member.
Unfortunately, my flickr status still appears to be "pending", so my contribution (shown left) isn't showing up. But, if you aren't in that status, I encourage you to get involved. Together, we can save the world.
