Little Green Army Men Campaign

Reminder for the late-nighters.
This is a great anti-war protest movement!

"Woman buys little green Army soldiers and writes "bring me home" on them.. Just got this in my e-mail - what a great anti-war action!

I heard on NPR last night -

Short mention of a woman who buys the little green Army men toy soldiers and writes on them or puts a sticker on the bottom that says
"Bring Me Home"and then she leaves them in public places."

2. Yes! No partisan attachment. Just a visual message.

3. beautiful!

I love campaigns like this. The subtle nuances they may get thrown up by one guy; but may inspire tears in another. I will be doing this, thank you.

5. here comes the partisan attatchment...

i was thinking about this more today and i think it would be a good way to highlight the wounded as well. By removing a leg and having a message that reads "I'd like my leg back" i think that would stop a lot in their tracks. or something of this nature, i just hate that they don't 'count' because they aren't dead.

I have a huge bag from an earring project I made, these little guys are about to be all over Cali.
