Company Blocks Ads Critical of Ohio Rep. Jean Schmidt
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/A/ANTI_SCHMIDT_BILLBOARDS?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=US

WASHINGTON (AP) -- An advertising company that gives most of its political donations to Republicans blocked the Democratic National Committee from putting up billboards criticizing GOP Rep. Jean Schmidt of Ohio.

Lamar Advertising Co. of Baton Rouge, La., refused to put up two billboards in Portsmouth, Ohio, and another in Cincinnati with a picture of Schmidt and the following message: "Shame on you, Jean Schmidt: Stop attacking veterans. Keep your eye on the ball - we need a real plan for Iraq."

The billboards are the result of 7,000 donations, DNC executive director Tom McMahon said, after Schmidt attacked Pennsylvania Rep. John Murtha, a Democrat and Marine veteran, for his call for withdrawal from Iraq. Schmidt was booed off the House floor two weeks ago when she said "cowards cut and run, Marines never do."

2. Yes, we know the busheviks all do this?

Lamar Advertising Co. of Baton Rouge, La = just another goddam bushevik gangster operation.
period
(it's gonna be 2006 in a few weeks; power is what kicks ass, and acting powerless is just a waste..btw it's the busheviks who are a minority, not ordinary citizens who will do the right thing if given a fukking chance)

3. Put the message on a billboard in Times Square
It will force the world to face the sober reality on New Year's Eve.

5. There should be some avenues for direct attack. . .
Is there a way to go to city councils and demand that LaMar not be allowed any billboards in those locations any longer? Rezone? Find out if the land is owned or rented, and pull their crap right out from under them?

If someone had done this to the fundies, they'd have 500,000 signatures on a petition demanding the company be removed.
