The Simpsons and the Presidency
July 5, 2007
The folks at the New Organizing Institute are running an amazing online organizing training this summer featuring Lisa Simpson, Maggie Simpson and other characters from the Simpsons and Stewie from the Family Guy. And, guess what?
They are all knee deep in the political muck to win the presidency. That explains the random “Lisa Simpson for President “messages you have been getting on Facebook.
NOI’s Summer Boot Camp is training the next generation of progressive activists to be the kind of digitally savvy operatives that we are going to need to reclaim America’s liberal tradition and move it into the 21st century.
Above is the banner for StewieforPresident.com and below is a campaign ad by Mr. Burns criticizing the lack of military experience among his competitors.
You can get all the info on the candidates at NOI’s blog. Voting ends on Saturday, so step and make your voice heard!
