One of the Daily Kos brethren, Beastly Fool, offered a challenge to us Kos bloggers: create a script for a 30-second TV spot, cloud-fund it, circulate it, and add our voice tangibly to the current political dialog. Here's the link to his original post:

And now here's my official submission:
Start with an image of Paul Ryan in a cowboy hat astride a grandmother on all fours. Ryan is getting a literal piggy-back ride with one hand in the air like he's riding a bull.
Ryan: Join me in riding with the 1% Privilege Posse towards top-tier tax savings!
Announcer: If Republicans pass their Ryan Budget, it will be at the expense of grandmas everywhere who see their healthcare safety net, Medicare, turned into a voucher program. And if the GOP succeeds in repealing Obamacare and its pre-existing conditions protections, Grandma, and her descendants, will be saddled with her staggering healthcare costs. And for what? So Ryan and fellow millionaires can keep destructively low tax rates, in essence Blue Blood Welfare, and corporations can continue to dodge paying hundreds of billions in US taxes simply by having a post office box in the Cayman Islands.
Granny: It's time we connect the dots: the GOP is out for CEOs not Average Joes. Or Josephines like me. And with ALEC-driven voter photo ID laws, they don't even want me to vote. So listen to your grandmother. Get the Republican agenda off my back. Bring sanity back. Vote Democrat.
>> Picture if you will, this visual spread across the country. Doesn't it just capture the current GOP leadership's mindset? So jump onboard - as long as it's not on Grandma...
