We want you to send in a script for a 30-second radio spot (that's about 65 words long), we'll whittle it down some to the top 20, and then we'll open up the voting to everyone. The winner that's chosen by the people will be what we air in the states. And we'll fundraise for the airing of that spot, with each of you able to choose with your contribution where you think we should run the ad. No political professionals making the spot, or choosing where to run it. It's all done by you.
You can make the spot sad, or satirical, or hard-hitting. Whatever you want to do. You can make it a personal story from your life (maybe you know someone in Iraq or have a family member there or maybe you are one of the many veterans in this community), or you can make a factual case on why voters should consider someone else because of this issue, or anything else you'd like. You get it -- it's up to you. And what you do can be the ad that goes on the air targeting the Roadblock Republicans.
Go to John Kerry's web site for contest guidelines.
This writer thinks it will be ridiculously easy to come up with 65 words about the woeful Republicans. Wyoming has three of them in Congress, voting the Bush line each time. I'm a fan of satire, but have George W. Bush and Dick Cheney made satire irrelevant? Perhaps a more serious approach is warranted.
