A creative bit of activism against the MCA

by Hanlon on November 27, 2006 at 1:47 pm

This one popped up in the comments and I found it very clever. Simple premise, but it fits: send a copy of 1984 to every Congressman who voted for the Military Commissions Act of 2006. A focused site (which makes it a good read), I think they definitely deserve our donations.

The Ministry of Love announces its fourth-quarter plan to gather 315 separate copies of George Orwell’s landmark novel 1984, from proles and party comrades alike, all across our brave homeland.

Once collected, all 315 copies will be mailed separately to each Member of Congress who voted YEA on the Military Commissions Act (a.k.a. The Torture Bill) on September 28th and 29th, in the sixth year of our glorious leader’s regime. These shipments will occur with great fanfare, and hopefully, a television news crew on hand to capture the momentous occasion for inclusion in the Ministry of Truth’s ever-growing archives.

Come, comrades, and join in the effort.
