Some progressive chicken farmer could make a killing off this - just put up a web page allowing us to order a chicken spine to be sent to our favorite Washington Rep or Sen. I'd pay $20-$30 for a chicken spine to be FedExed any number of spineless Dems in DC.
You could personalize the message but really you wouldn't need one - the thing is pretty self explanatory. Even Democratic consultants could figure the meaning of this one out. Even so - just in case I'd want to include instructions - something like "Your a chicken, you appear to lack a spine, so I wanted to give you a starter kit to rediscovering your potential. Oppose the Senates' FISA cave in. Respectfully Yours - A Progressive"
Unfortunately I don't know any chicken farmers but if you do pass this suggestion along. Clean the spine off, pack it in bubble wrap, slap a lable on it and Bob's your uncle. Tack $5 on for a fundraiser for real Democrats and it would be even more popular.
With only a few hundred chicken spines delivered to the Capitol it would get national coverage.
Just sayin...
