ENOUGH ALREADY! WHAT'S WITH THE PITCH FOR POSTERS?
For centuries, posters have been used as a rallying cry, as a way to spread ideas, promote causes, sway public opinion, unite people, to boost awareness and as a wake up call to point out political injustices. It's time to use posters instead of just words to nail the cash-fat health insurance corporations and flagrantly obtuse pharmaceutical companies that are corrupting politicians that should be representing the average person. Posters will help make Big insurance corporations accountable, answerable, responsive to the public's needs and expose their wholesale corruption of Washington politicians that should be representing the average person---before it's too late. In what is supposed to be the most powerful country in the world, health care has become a travesty, controlled by fat cat legislators who enjoy the absolute best health care benefits that your money can buy. But will they share it? Yeah, right. And all of us together -- can use the public poster messages to expose and put fear in their hearts by letting them know they're expected to represent the public interest. Remember you have every right to question your elected representatives in Washington. Certain to be a classic collectors item, the poster with the image of an insurance fat cat straddling the symbols of both political parties munching on money is about as subtle as one of those stock yard sledge hammers they use to stun cattle. The beholder is expected to fume at the ham-handedness of the picture. And then look and then say, "Enough is enough." And one more "should." You should know the enemy. Knowing your enemy is the purpose of the poster. It will direct you to an up-to-date list of cash each and every congressperson is taking for health care corporations. That information should take health care reform from a "floating issue" not in the consumers' thought processes to an every day awareness of our need to pressure the elected officials raking in obscene amounts of money from health care lobbyists to do their bidding. This is not a typical do-gooder plea. This is a call to action for an issue that will effect the present and future way of life in America. Posters. The very least you can do. Show your interest. Set an example. Get some. Hang one.
