The “Bush Republicans in 30 Seconds” radio contest has ended!

Today was the official end for submissions to our “Bush Republicans in 30 Seconds Radio Contest”. Earlier this year, BI30 sought to host a new ad contest to do for the 2006 Congressional mid-terms what MoveOn.org’s “Bush in 30 Seconds” video contest did for the 2004 Presidential election. Because BI30 is an all-volunteer effort and does not have the resources of a MoveOn.org, we targeted radio advertising rather than more expensive TV or print ads. Our goal was to run ten :30 second (or five :60 second) radio spots in the weeks just prior to the November election on one Nationally syndicated radio program.

Sadly, word of the contest just never got out and the response was too small to justify the costs. Interest in the *outcome* was high, but interest in participating was not. Most felt it was just too difficult to do a motivating and thought provoking ad using only audio.

However, we do intend to keep the video archive online, and we have started this new Blog ensuring that our brand of keen observations and political insight continues!

Thanks to all who expressed interest in the contest and provided words of encouragement and support! - Mugsy

    This barely scratches the veneer covering the ongoing gross corruption and crimes committed in this country and by this country abroad. The current situation definitely reminds one of the latter stages of the Roman Empire. The big question is, will the U.S. go over the edge of the cliff or pull back in time? The chances of the latter happening seem slim at best.
