OYE: Time for some posters!

Jesus' General, in conjunction with other folks at Operation Yellow Elephant, has launched a contest that I think a lot of Drake Democrats would be interested in.

In case you haven't heard of it, Operation Yellow Elephant (OYE) is a reaction to pro-war wingnuts who demand sacrifice to some kind of "noble cause" that is the Iraq War. What OYE is trying to accomplish is getting these Republicans to sign-up and join the ranks of America's armed forces. We're facing a recruitment crisis in our armed forces, and if they have time to sit at their keyboards and support the war, or to attend Campus Republican activities and blabber on about supporting the troops, why not sign up and really help out?

The details are below:

Description

Create signs relating to Operation Yellow Elephant's mission to expose the hypocrisy of hawkish College Republicans and other young conservatives who are too cowardly to fight in the war they demanded. Post these signs near roadways and pedestrian pathways on or near college campuses. Photograph your work and send it to me. I'll post them here. In early October, the OYE Contributing Writers and the Freeway Blogger will pick a winner.

How to Make Your Sign

It's always a good idea to learn from the masters.

How to Win

Send us a photo featuring a sign with a great message and lots of people or cars traveling past it. If it generates press, it wouldn't hurt to send us a url or a clipping.

That's it, folks! Make your posters, take pictures, host them at Flickr or your preferred hosting service, and then drop a comment with a link here!
