Group Crowdsources Effort To Put Up Anti-Obama Billboards

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!"

THEY'RE NOT ANONYMOUS ANYMORE!

billboards in Atlanta.

person behind the website BillboardsAgainstObama.com is. Here is his

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.

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.
