Help Hold Bush Accountable for the Iraq War
A Message from Ben Cohen of TrueMajority.org
The
PantsOnFire Mobile – the 12-foot statue of George W. Bush with his
pants aflame – has been a hit, garnering media attention and turning
heads across the Eastern seaboard. George is now on his way West to
spread the truth about Bush's lies.
Following
in his wake is the Pig Mobile, another whimsical art car by your
friends at TrueMajority. The Pig Mobile consists of three
different-sized piggy banks strung together to illustrate just how big
a financial disaster the Iraq War has turned out to be.
The
largest pig (by far) shows the financial cost ($200 billion) of
America's attack on Iraq, including the projected minimum cost of
reconstruction. The smaller pig illustrates how much the federal
government spends on K-12 education ($34 billion). And the third pig,
which is a wee little pig, shows America's dedication to lessening
world hunger and poverty ($10 billion).
These
piggies feature an oinking soundtrack and are made of striking pink
fiberglass based on a full-sized Chevy van towing a trailer.
Our goal
is to keep the mess in Iraq on people's minds and to hold Bush
accountable for it – even if the media don't report the facts on the
costs of America's attack on Iraq. And there's no better way to
understand the giant numbers involved than to compare them to how
little our government finds to spend on stuff we all care about – like
schools and world hunger.
The Pig
Mobile will be in Iowa in August. If you'd like to volunteer to take
'em for a spin (the pigs must be driven during the day), or if you have
a place to park 30-feet worth of porkers when they're not being driven
(space must be available for 1 week and allow the pigs to drive in and
out without backing up), please click here and fill out the little form
and we'll hook you up:

Yours in holding Bush accountable, and having fun doing it,
Ben
This guy seems like a lot of fun!
