Group Crowdsources Effort To Put Up Anti-Obama Billboards

[Joanne98]

Achieving an unlikely harmony between old and new media, an anonymous group of Atlanta business owners is using a website to crowdsource the funding of an anti-Obama billboard campaign.

The group -- Billboards Against Obama -- was formed several weeks ago, and has already put up several billboards in the Atlanta metro area, according to local news reports.

While the group plans to remain anonymous, they have asked life coach, motivational speaker, and New York Times bestselling author Tommy Newberry to act as their spokesman. Newberry told TPM that the group was united by a common frustration against Obama and a desire to do something with that feeling.

But why billboards?

"Where are the people? They're out driving around," Newberry told TPM in an interview.

On the group's website, people can contribute money, sponsor new billboards, and even contribute new billboard designs. "Be seen -- be heard -- before it's too late!" the site reads. "There is a war going on...a war for the future of America!"

billboards in Atlanta.

1. that's an uber-fundie area of Marietta, lots of nouveau riche rednecks

Not surprising to find that address as a place of residence for one of these jerks.

2. Im so sick of mentals claimin some kind of 'moral superiority' for their

delusions.
If I lived in Atlanta I would be tempted to get a paint gun or a gallon of gas and fix up those billboards.

[Donnachaidh]

3. this is the middle of Newt Gingrich country

Most of these yee-haws are spoonfed their *beliefs* from the pulpit and fox news. If they want to put up those billboards in their own area fine. It's over-congested and over-priced.
