New Initiative idea: "It's true. Look it up"

I've been thinking about maddog, those guys who are putting up billboards in red areas that tell the truth that Fox watchers never hear.

I think the whole billboard idea is genius. It hits the people we never get because they're siloed inside fox propaganda.

We can each add to the effort in a small way. Each makes a bumper sticker stating one thing the deplorable are doing that people don't realize. Follow it with the statement, "It's true. Look it up."

Examples:
"Republicans are gutting your Medicare right now. Its true. Look it up"

Or gutting your Medicaid. Or gutting your social security.

Or: Republicans are imprisoning babies. Its true. Look it up.

Or: If you make less than $50k the republican tax law takes money from you and gives it to billionaires. Its true. Look it up.

There could be a million of them.

Its less in your face than most bumper stickers so there wouldn't be much keying danger. But can you imagine driving down the highway and seeing 5 of them? You'd go look it up even if you hate liberals.

What do you think?

I emailed them about billboards featuring baby jails.

I don't know how much influence it will have, but it's definitely worth mentioning to them!

I knew about the Mobsters Are Governing America truck, but not about the baby jails.
