Create a TV ad that tells the truth about George W. Bush.

Sick of the propaganda being beamed at you from the current administration's media mavens? Here's a new way to fight back: Enter MoveOn.org Voter Fund's political ad contest. You don't have to be formally trained in the art of filmmaking, just ready, willing and able to create an ad that tells the truth about George Bush.

All eligible submissions will be posted on this web site and rated by visitors. The top rated ads will then be voted on by our panel of esteemed judges, including Michael Moore, Donna Brazile, Jack Black, Janeane Garofalo, Margaret Cho and Gus Van Sant. The winning ad idea will be broadcast on television during the week of Bush's 2004 State of the Union address, and the winner will receive a recording of the ad as broadcast.

To enter, just make a 30 second ad and submit it through this web site. Submissions will be accepted between November 24th and December 5th, 2003 and voting on the site will run between December 15th and December 30th, 2003.

Before you make your entry, you'll want to review the submission guidelines, and if you really want to know all the details, you can review the official rules. Good luck! We look forward to seeing your submission.

Want to help spread the word about the contest? Just download and post this poster in places where entrants might hang out.

even if it's just for americans I thought it might be fun to brainstorm at this or something.

I'd like to see a 30 sec masterful deconstruction of his sentense 'You are either with us or against us'.

Ah, but read the wording carefully:
The winning ad idea will be broadcast on television...

My guess is that they'll pretty it up a bit for mass consumption. Still, neat idea...

they say "All entries must be licensed under the Creative Commons License designated for this Contest"

t-shirt sales aside, primely this thing is to get rid of bush isn'it? If it's true there is no governments from the left, only governments that are favorable to issues and values from the left , I would guess the world would be better off with someone else than him.

I like the idea but something stinks about this...

maybe the part where you do the dems think-tanking for them and then forfeit all rights to your idea forever and throughout the known universe for zero dollars?

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeexactly!

but you do get a copy of YOUR OWN MOVIE!

I still think it's funny how they are setting this up as a humanitarian cause
