What kind of world do YOU choose to create? I CHOOSE store...
Some of you may be aware that the I CHOOSE message was "inspired" by Glenn Beck dissing Wishadoo's mission on his TV show:

Wishadoo! is a social visionary enterprise committed to and infused with the core values of integrity, respect, and compassion. The intent is to be self-sustaining and to create jobs and income opportunities for others through a cooperative model. Everything has mutual benefit, supporting and sustaining The Common Good. We are shifting the traditional model of “profit-only corporation” to “mutual-benefit cooperation” with the social vision as the guiding force.



We all know how half of the country seems to view words like compassion, empathy and The Common Good as negatives, whereas we aspire to embody those qualities.

I CHOOSE offers a way to express that you resonate with a world of compassion and community and reject the Glenn Beck worldview.

I'll be adding products and variations of the designs -- and hopefully very soon will be able to offer t-shirts -- purple t-shirts with this design, but that can't be done through CafePress so I'll be doing that through a local screenprinter I like to work with. I'll let you know when I'm taking orders for those. :)




If there are certain I CHOOSE messages you'd like to see, feel free to PM me and let me know. One I know I want to add is I CHOOSE "we" instead of "me," inspired by another DUer. :hug:

We can even have fun with it: I CHOOSE Sanity over Hannity ~~ I CHOOSE Facts over Fox

If you're on Facebook, I'll be announcing the I CHOOSE Campaign soon and will be inviting people to not only offer suggestions on variations of this message they'd like to see, but also ask people to submit photos of the word they want to express: written on their hands or other parts of the body (G-rated), written in the sand, written on the sidewalk in chalk, written on a foggy mirror.

You get the idea. ;)

I'll use these images to compile I CHOOSE videos. It will be fun!

I'll be creating viral e-cards that people can send and videos people can send based on this message.

I invite you to check out the shop! (Please also join Wishadoo and our Facebook page, links in my signature)

:hi:

1. I choose to see the good in people today
I really love the first one with all those positive words on it. I have an Obama sticker on the bumper of my car but I also a Have respect for all living things on there also and since I put the second one on I get no comments about the Obama one.

Although I do miss a good heated "discussion" sometimes.
