Foundation for a Better Life has lost their collective minds
They're the zeebs with the Bill Bennett-style billboards and tv ads about values. Apparently, they are run and funded by an outfit called Anschutz Corporation http://www.anschutzinvestments.com/group/group.html, close personal friends of the RNC. (Surprised?)

Anyway, some of their latest are a little, uh, improbable. I.e., Soul Man Gandhi:

and their avatar for Vision, who's blind:

I guess this is the inevitable result when Republicans try to contemplate values, instead of prices. For anybody with a burning desire to see the billboards larger, there are images of c. 100K at the site. If you're just dying to see them, go here http://www.forbetterlife.org/ and follow the link for Billboards.

Forgive singular-plural disagreement in subject line.

2. I'm surprised that Christopher Reeve would allow them...
...to use his image.

4. Just another bait and switch
for religious idiology.

Its puzzling to me just what it accomplishes. Nice images, I guess.
