Lame DSCC Bumperstickers

I received an email this morning from James Carville and the DSCC. They have an exceedingly lame video (showing bored, unimaginitive staffers dreading another meeting with a bored, unimaginitive James Carville). The topic is an effort to have a bumper sticker that would help spark voters in 2008.
I still have my "Had Enough" bumper sticker on the back of my American Union-built hybrid, but at least I didn't have to have the one that encouraged us to vote for Democrats. Mine spells out corruption, cronyism, but it says for the kicker "whatever happened to the common good?". I like it because it doesn't specify a party, it promotes an idea.
The DSCC has some suggestions for bumper stickers and because they realize they're lame (I doubt they're going to ask Gingrich again for an idea, good as it was) and you can vote at Bumper Sticker Vote. Because they realize these are so lame, they invite you to submit your own ideas. I put mine in - "No More Blue Dogs or Red Elephants", but I don't know if they'll consider it - most of their best friends are Blue Dogs. Still, I put in my suggestion.
I figured they'd like to encourage participation, even if it's by the likes of us, so please go think up your best slogan and turn it in. Nominations close on August 27th.
I will freely admit, I want an election based on ideas, vision, policy - you know, things that won't easily fit on a bumper sticker unless you use really small type. Still, it's tough to see things travelling the roads at 30, 50 or 70MPH if they're detailed, so let's help these lame DSCC staffers and come up with something better.
