Health Reform Idol: Vote for the next commercial
Posted on October 30, 2009 by: Bill Salganik | Category: CWA's Health Care Campaign
Organizing for America, the successor organization to the Obama election campaign, invited people to design their own 30-second videos to support health reform. The best will be aired as a television commercial.
They've picked 20 finalists, and you can rate each one at the OFA Web site. Voting continues until next Friday, Nov. 6.
"The top 20 ads will also be voted on by our panel of experts and artists, including Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am, animator and director Seth MacFarlane, actress Kate Walsh, Obama for America campaign manager David Plouffe, and Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine," OFA said in announcing the vote.
"It couldn't be more urgent for us to get these funny, powerful, and eye-opening messages out to the public," OFA continued. "As the full Congress begins its final debate on reform, airing the winning video as an ad on national television could help tip the balance toward enacting the changes they've been talking about for years in Washington."
