I LOVE THIS! Please come to the Creative Arts and Subversive Actions
Community Gathering on 1/30 to start organizing....there will be several
people presenting ideas that can work for this campaign....off the top of
my head: the alternative tours folks could lead tourists to the dirty
dozen....there are lots of other ideas floating around....we have a long
list of really creative stuff waiting for hands....give me a specific
issue/event and I'll try to match it to something...one script that will be
aired on 1/30 is called "the lonely house"...it could use a flyer on
mortgage profits and banker salaries...thanks so much for this
