Velvet Revolution Takes Off The Gloves,
Launches Controversial Long-Term Ad Campaign

CRAWFORD — The Velvet Revolution, a nationwide movement started immediately following the discovery of numerous voting discrepancies in Ohio following the 2004 Presidential election, is launching a long-term advertising campaign questioning “why the rich children of this chicken hawk administration won’t go to war.”

Its supporters say, “The cluck stops here. Something foul is going on in Crawford, Texas.”

VelvetRevoluton.us is a movement of more than 110 organizations reaching millions of people.

The first two-page color paid advertisement appears in this week’s Lone Star Iconoclast to coincide with President Bush’s five-week ranch vacation and Cindy Sheehan’s nearby protest of the war in Iraq.

2. Holy shit I like this

go for it. Shove it down their throats. If this war is so noble, send your kids to fight our great noble cause... I know my Son leaves in November for Baghdad. They need to put their money where their mouths are.

8. I'm so sorry that your son may be in harm's way, dogday! The injustice

of it and the horror of it cut to the quick. I pray for his safe return, and for a Second American Revolution--this time for peace and justice, and to throw the monsters of fascism and war profiteering off our backs. And I think "The cluck stops here!" is a good way to start it. Imagine whole audiences--whole stadiums--starting that low, funny sound that chickens make (it's not "cluck," exactly, but more like "cr-r-r-rulk, culkr, culkr, cr-r-r-ulk, culkr, culkr"--hard to put into words!), and it turning into a loud, hilarious roar ("cr-r-r-rulk, culkr, culkr, cr-r-r-ulk, culkr, culkr") that exposes the cowardice of Bush and his Cartel, their parasitism, and their evil, self-interested goals.

I can hear it! The whole nation cr-r-rulk-culkr-ering!

13. I think the Iconoclast will be my holiday gift to those on the list.

I hope that folks who get it delivered at home
recycle them in Doctor's offices, and other
waiting rooms around the country.

15. The Iconoclast has been an example in courage since before the election

when they endorsed Kerry, and lost a signicant part of their local subscriber base.
