This past Friday, Armando posted a front page story
The Extremist Agenda: The Judiciary on what exactly the extremist arm of the Republican Party, and their fundamentalist christian puppet-masters, want to do to the United States of America.
In it he referred to an article by Chris Bowers on MyDD, that was itself a reframe of a chilling summation of the Texas Republican Party's ultimate goals (and thus now the entire Republican Party's goals), written in June 2003 by Kevin Drum of The Washington Monthly.
Armando ended his peice:
And we fight. Whatever happens, we fight.
Chris ended his:
We might want to consider printing up a billion (yes, a billion) copies of this post, and distributing it every household in America a few times every year from now until October, 2008.
and Kevin ended his with:
It's our job to make sure everyone knows this.
So instead of just getting mad and having a beer, I decided to channel my anger into something more constructive.
Download the result after the jump...
That thing on the right is a picture of the fruit of my anger.
It is a small (8.5 x 11") vertically folded double-sided pamphlet that contains the GOP platform summation by Kevin Drum, along with an introduction and (hopefully!) an attention getting cover.
Click here to download the printable PDF file.
I plan to print up as many of these as my ink-cartridge can handle, and start putting them anywhere I think they might get the right audience.
The trouble is, I live in New York City, the places that really need this kind of information available are much further inland than I can travel.
So if you want to do something more constructive than getting furiously worked up and having a beer, especially if you live in a red state, please download the PDF file, print it up doublesided on sheets of Letter size paper, and disseminate away!
You can always have the angry beer afterwards.
All comments regarding the pamphlet's design and content will be gratefully recieved. However, due to time constraints and a highly opinionated aesthetic style, they may not be acted upon.
