How are you Joe the Plumber? Tell us in 30 seconds...

During Barack Obama's recent event in Toledo, Ohio, "Joe the Plumber" asked a simple question and got a surprising answer from the Democratic nominee. When he asked why Barack Obama's tax plan was going to punish him for working hard and living the American Dream, Barack Obama responded, "When you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."

In that brief exchange, the American people got to see what this campaign is all about ... a choice between honoring the hard work of everyday Americans like "Joe the Plumber" and increasing taxes to "spread the wealth." In these tough economic times, there is no doubt that John McCain and Sarah Palin stand firmly on the side of hardworking "everyday Joes" who understand the value of honest work and the American Dream.

That's why we want to hear from you and share your story with the American public. It's simple ... make an ad telling us why you are "Joe the Plumber" in 30 seconds and your video could end up on the air as a TV ad. Share your story of living the American Dream, working hard, or owning a small business to tell America why you're standing with John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Submit your video using this form before Friday, October 24th at 5:00 p.m.

I made a hip hop type song last night I call No O. I made it for anyone who wants to use it in making videos, or anyone who just enjoys saying NO O.

If anyone wants to use it’s at:

Im sensing a crap load of poorly produced America’s Funniest Videos type of quality in the submitted videos.

I hope someone out there with some good editing skills can put something together because a webcam pointing at a messy bedroom is not what im hoping to see.

Check out THIS video, now posted on the premier CONSERVATIVE video website, popmodal.com:

VIDEO: "I AM Joe the Plumber" sign, with PA CRs

Pennsylvania College Republicans get McCain supporters to pose with their "I AM Joe the Plumber" sign.

From: http://crnation.com/2008/10/16/i-am-joe-the-plumber [CR Nation: News for College Republicans]

This show of solidarity for Samuel "Joe" Wurzelbacher is, of course, an homage to the classic "I am SPARTACUS" -- to help fight the RAT's "Joe the Plumber DERANGEMENT SYNDROME" attack on Joe's audacity at getting Obama to reveal his "Spread the Wealth Around" tax policy.

Runtime: 1m:35s
