Please! Let's turn the White House blue again!

I started writing this post almost two months ago. I just wanted to announce that the necklace I made to raise money for Obama was sold, rather amazingly, for over $200. on ebay. But, Kos rule number two stopped me ...

Substantive diaries only. If you don't have at least three solid, original paragraphs, you should probably post a comment in an Open Thread.

Substantive? Hmm. How could I make it more substantive? Perhaps I needed to do more - be more involved in the Obama campaign - to make a substantive difference. Hmm. Tap tap tap. Hmm. Yes we can? Really? OK! I'm totally broke, but, yes, I'm DOING something! So....who's with me?

(Wondering what this graphic is all about? Keep reading!)

I decided it was best to do what I know best - graphic design. I've watched in awe as the Shepard Fairy Obama posters have escalated in price on ebay - some selling for over $2,000!! Great, sure, but all that money was going right into the pockets of independent re-sellers who paid $50 to Fairy when he ran his Obama fundraiser. That doesn't help put Obama in the White House!

So, I'm trying to create some buzz about my new Obama poster, sell them only on ebay, and have the proceeds support the campaign -- NOT independent re-sellers. I predict the prices of this limited edition print will be determined by how much the first few sell for; so I'm asking Kos readers to help get the ball rolling.

Just bidding alone can win you a chance at the poster Michelle Obama signed last week!

Got a rich friend who's maxed out their Obama donation?
Know an art collector who can't resist propaganda art?
Sick of hearing a list of environmental reasons not to buy stuff from your eco-hippy sister? (Oh yeah - the poster is totally environmentally sustainable - both material and printing process.)
Send 'em all to ebay to bid on my original Barack Obama eco poster fundaiser!

And yes, I'll provide proof the money is actually donated to Obama. It's public record, so I couldn't even hide it if I wanted to. I just REALLY want Obama to be our next president!! Once again - who's with me?!

Click here to see the poster. I think it came out pretty well!

•  There is no God

  but let's turn it blue anyway.

  If there was a God and we deserved all the bad things that happened to us. What in hell did we do to deserve Bush & Cheney? Be thankful for the randonmess and hostility of the Universe in general.

  •  I hear you completely

    In my vernacular, it's really just an expression. When I say God, I'm not confirming or denying the existence of God.

    Honestly?  I believe the Native American culture has it right - worship, respect and obey Ma Nature!

    I'm also pretty sure NOBODY deserves Bush and Cheney, so it's an unanswerable mystery where those 'men' were spawned.

•  Do You Intend To "Pray Us" Back Into Power?

  Please don't.

  If that's your motive we can use the space you're standing in for someone who understands the progressive agenda.

  •  Ah, hell no. Did you even read the post?

    Did you read my comment RIGHT above yours?

    I deleted the word God from the title, nonetheless, since it seems to have stolen focus.

    Geeze.

    •  Sorry

      A little crucifix shy around here these days.  It's like Stepford Wives.

        So I hear you. I'm a total non-believer, but I rarely bring it up online. Too many zealots.

      •  But just so you know

        Next time you use "OMG" I'm gonna pounce on you ...

        :)
