Today, MoveOn.org Voter Fund is launching Bush in 30 Seconds <http://www.bushin30seconds.org/>, a political TV ad contest to help us find the most creative, clear and memorable ideas for ads that tell the truth about George Bush's policies. You don't have to be trained in the art of filmaking to participate, you just need to be ready, willing, and able to turn your clever ideas into a real 30 second ad. We want to run ads that are of the people, for the people, and by the people.

Joining us in this effort is a great panel of celebrity judges, including Jack Black, Michael Moore, Donna Brazile, Gus Van Sant, Michael Stipe, Margaret Cho, and Moby (there's a full list on the site). MoveOn members will pick 15 finalists; the panelists will pick the winning ad and help generate some good press coverage for it.

The prize? Just in case getting your work seen by our judges and thousands on our web site isn't enough, we'll put the winning ad on TV during the week of Bush's State of the Union Address. All 15 finalists will also be featured in an email to the MoveOn membership. The ad doesn't need to have TV production values -- it's the idea that counts. We'll reshoot the winning ad if we need to in order to air it.

1. Maybe we DUers

should form a think tank and submit a joint effort...

6. If you can get enough people to IM together

it may produce a better result by brainstorming en mass.

13. I'm on it.

Got one about half-done, and ideas for a couple more.

And knowing Sym, he's prolly got something cookin', too.

Hey, even if we don't win, we'll prolly end up with a bunch of new flash on TBTM. Win-win. :)
