Yesterday the story of 40 call center workers who walked out rather then spread McCain's slime was a big story.
Some three dozen workers at a telemarketing call center in Indiana walked off the job rather than read an incendiary McCain campaign script attacking Barack Obama, according to two workers at the center and one of their parents.
Today we have the opportunity to HELP the courageous worker who actually walked out.
Lets show people the power of the NetRoots and that if people take a stand we have their back. We set up a fund drive to help replace their lost wages. Please contribute to "Support the Walkout Against Slime Calls."
40 employees forfeited pay for the sake of cleaner campaigning - now its up to us to stand with them. A $9 donation makes up for an hour's pay - an hour that won't be spent making attack calls against Obama.
Last week Pinocchio Politics brought you McLiar Bingo http://chronicle.com/review/brainstorm/b ousquet/mcliar-bingo - this week, PP has a new version with updated lies and a randomizer that makes it easy to print as many unique boards as you want.
With McCain promising to step it up after last Wednesday's tepid performance, you can expect some king sized whoppers in this last debate, and McLiar bingo is one of the best ways to keep up with his lies as they happen. The board features the McCain-as-Pinocchio and includes 24 of Mac's favorite lies on the economy, energy and national security.
Also, for this economy-themed debate, Pinocchio Politics has created "Fundamentally Strong" Cocktails - a set of cocktail recipes that are the best way to drink to McCain's lies. Drinks include "Old Fashioned Bailouts" and "Wa-Mu Martinis."
This is a call to action to readers in the St. Louis area and ones with friends there. We need people to take part in a "Lie In" at Washing University on Thursday night.
The idea is simple show up at McCain/Palin events wearing Pinocchio noses and help attach the liar label to them.
We had a great action in NY last week (check out our nose cam footage)
