You Decide

The term “campaign” doesn’t describe what a good campaign really is. I don’t know of any single word that does describe it, but the term “collective endeavor” comes close. A good campaign represents the joint effort of many people: making phone calls, putting out yard signs, knocking on doors, contributing money, and . . .

Artwork. At least in our campaign.

A while back, I invited our supporters to submit artwork to the campaign. A contest, with a prize of $500 for the winning image. I told you that you could vote on some of the submissions.

Well, click here and give us your vote. Tell us which one you think is best.

We have some very gifted artists in the audience. I wish that I could share all of the submissions with you, but that would make for a very long ballot, so we narrowed it down. But thank you to everyone who took the time to submit an image or a video.

Now you tell us which image you like the most. It’s your turn to be an art critic.

Why are we doing this? Because it’s fun. Because it gives us creative and beautiful images that we will use in the campaign. And because it reflects the true spirit of a good campaign – a collective endeavor. People doing whatever they can do to help.

In my case, I can barely draw stick figures. But I do know what I like, and I know how to vote. So can you. Click here, and help us pick the winner. And thank you, for being involved.

Courage,

P.S. Our collective endeavor – contributions from 366 of us -- helped to re-elect Congressman Charlie Rangel. After a very close race, his opponent conceded on Monday. Way to go, team!
