Your Video or Bush's Speech?

 

Dear Phillip, Enter the Real State of the Union Video Contest! Just one year from now, a new Democratic President will return hope and promise -- not to mention truth and reality -- to the White House. But, on January 28th, we still have to endure George W. Bush delivering his last State of the Union address. He will draw a deeply distorted portrait of the current state of our country. Don't give Bush the last word. Help the DCCC tell the truth about the challenges America faces and about your hopes and dreams for our nation as 2008 begins. Your video could be picked by our expert panel of judges to be featured in ads that will reach millions of voters nationwide. Enter the Real State of the Union video contest now -- it's easy! Your video -- up to two minutes in length -- can be a work of art or just some straight talk from your heart. Turn the camera on yourself and answer the question, what would you say the state of the union is? Help us get the real story out about what's happening in America because of George Bush's failed leadership -- the rising cost of home heating oil, millions of working Americans who can't afford health insurance, and a housing crisis that threatens more and more middle class families with foreclosure every month. Your videos will be judged by experts, political pundit James Carville, singers/songwriters Johnny Reznick of the Goo Goo Dolls and Art Alexakis, lead singer of Everclear, esteemed movie director and producer Jerry Zucker, Rep. Kendrick Meek of Florida and Arianna Huffington of the Huffington Post. Help us give vibrant expression to our hopes and aspirations for America as the Bush era mercifully comes to an end. Enter the Real State of the Union video contest now. Let's respond with energy, imagination -- and maybe even a little sense of humor -- to George W. Bush's last attempt to lie, scare, and mislead America into adopting his disastrous policies. The winning videos in our contest will be part of a larger DCCC Real State of the Union initiative. Using mobile text messages, videos, and an online lie detector, we intend to make sure that the truth speaks louder than George Bush's spin. Enter the Real State of the Union video contest now. Watch your inbox carefully as more and more news about the DCCC's Real State of the Union initiative becomes available. There will be videos for you to screen, talking points for you to share, text message efforts for you to enroll in, and a specially-recruited panel of judges for our video contest that you won't want to miss.
