 You Decide
Last edited Thu Jul 12, 2012, 07:49 PM USA/ET - Edit history (2)

The term “campaign” doesn’t describe what a good campaign really is. I don’t know of any single word that does describe it, but the term “collective endeavor” comes close. A good campaign represents the joint effort of many people: making phone calls, putting out yard signs, knocking on doors, contributing money, and . . .

Artwork. At least in our campaign.

A while back, I invited our supporters to submit artwork to the campaign. A contest, with a prize of $500 for the winning image. I told you that you could vote on some of the submissions.

Well, click here and give us your vote. Tell us which one you think is best.

We have some very gifted artists in the audience. I wish that I could share all of the submissions with you, but that would make for a very long ballot, so we narrowed it down. But thank you to everyone who took the time to submit an image or a video.

Now you tell us which image you like the most. It’s your turn to be an art critic.

Why are we doing this? Because it’s fun. Because it gives us creative and beautiful images that we will use in the campaign. And because it reflects the true spirit of a good campaign – a collective endeavor. People doing whatever they can do to help.

In my case, I can barely draw stick figures. But I do know what I like, and I know how to vote. So can you. Click here, and help us pick the winner. And thank you, for being involved.

Courage,

Alan Grayson

P.S. Our collective endeavor – contributions from 366 of us -- helped to re-elect Congressman Charlie Rangel. After a very close race, his opponent conceded on Monday. Way to go, team!

This is really a terrible picture - and the more you look at Grayson, the odder it gets. Seriously. Take the time to really look at him thoughtfully, maybe three or four minutes. He looks unhinged.

Who was it back in the day that did all the bad anti-Bush photoshops, was that Toast? Whoever it was must be Grayson's art director-in-chief now.

And yet he still looks no less sane than he does in most of his other pics.  He's just a really creepy guy.

Does any of the alleged art show him defecating on the flag and/or constitution?

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”
