I happen to be on Moveon.org's mailing list. I received this today. Apparently, Obama's planning a "Cover September in Windmills" campaign pushing so-called "clean" energy. This must be why Obammy wanted Health Care pushed through by August recess so they could devote the entire month of September to screwing us by making us throw backs to the 17th century. WINDMILLS! Yeah, right.
We need to counter this push, and now that we know they plan a massive brain-wash of the ignorant masses on this energy thing, we can get out front with information and facts that support the only sensible 21st century alternative to their flunky energy schemes: Drill for oil on our soil, build refineries, and get nuclear reactors up and running.
Now, as for this Shepard Fairey poster, Obama is a sick and twisted bastard to use a company named "Obey" which produces Bolshevik-style artwork for his official campaign materials.
Here is the email I recieved, copied and pasted in the first reply. I've linked the Obey Windmill poster as well.

Dear MoveOn member,
Remember those incredible Obama “Hope” posters from the election? Inspiring, moving, and unforgettable, the image became the emblem of a movement that changed America.
Now, Shepard Fairey, the acclaimed artist and designer of that iconic image, has a new creation: “Clean Energy for America.”
We want to make sure that this new poster, inspired by the President’s vision to rebuild our economy with clean energy, becomes as well-known and loved as “Hope.”

They’ve got a special offer: You can get two posters for $20, plus shipping and handling. If you order today, you should receive your posters by September 1, 2009.
The reason we’re selling them two-at-a-time is to make sure they get hung up all over. We’re working with a coalition of other organizations on a new campaign to “Cover September in Windmills.”
So we’re asking everyone to not just hang one in your home, but to hang another in a local business or any other available and legal public space you can find. And by purchasing your two posters for $20, you’ll help fund poster and sticker giveaways in states that are key in the fight for clean energy.
Powerful images can inspire action and change perceptions. We learned that during the 2008 election.

According to Hillary Clinton, U.S. companies are going to be building nuclear powerplants in India. So India gets advanced nuclear powerplants, and we get windmills. I think I can see how this is going to turn out.

You forgot the United Arab Emirates and Iran, whom Obama promised joint venture “peaceful” nuclear energy projects with US firms.
Those posters are eerily reminesant of the old Communist Posters of the Cold War.
Looks like the wizard has come out from behind the curtain.
Good Grief! Where’s the hammer and sickle logo? This is very reminiscent of the crap the Russian people were fed before a majority of Russians realized that Marxism was a dead end street!

From the top...
Our environmentalists want to live like some sort of idealized peasant farmers. This is what they tried to do in every 60’s and 70’s hippie commune. This is the implied basis of “Mother Earth News”.
However, they are weak fallen creatures — their version of Original Sin. They cannot resist things like heat, cars, cell phones, and computers. They hate themselves because of this weakness. Therefore, they believe that someone should force everyone to live like they think they should live, in the hopes that w/o the temptations they won’t live such “sinful” lives.
Therefore, any energy source that provides ample electricity for modern lives is to be hated. Cars must be hated because it forces them to get a real job to pay real car payments, so those much be eliminated too. In fact, everything that they oppose goes back to the idea that humans must be peasant farmers, and government must take away the option to live otherwise.
I grew up with Amish, which have some overlap in beliefs. The difference, obviously, is that Amish simply choose to live with their choices, while Liberals want to take over government to save their souls — and ours too.
Yes. And those WW2 Nazi ones too.
Cover September in Windmills, Cover the Ground with Dead Birds in Fall Migration
Catchy.
LOL! What a money making scam.......
I get several of these moveon.org emails a week and they are always hitting their members up for money.
I urge everyone to get on their mailing list. They lay out their strategies in these emails.
Where is Peta. BTW Zero’s czar that thinks animals should have the same rights as human, you know the one the Senate is holding up. Well he thinks animals should be allowed to sue humans. Can we file a Class action suit on behalf of the migrating Birds?
Baryonyx is building two big offshore Texas windfarms. Announced a few days ago.
Not only do these windmills slaughter many migrating birds but they are dangerous because they have no breaking mechanism, they have huge blades, and have been known to break apart if the winds get up to storm levels. They’ve had to close portions of freeways where these windmills are installed when they start to go haywire because it would be devistating if a blade should hit a car. Here’s a video of a giant windmill breaking apart. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3FZtmlHwcA
Giant windmills have to be maintained by giant companies.
Which is the point of all this mess.
Here is a better solution.
Sounds like one of those Soviet-era collectivist farm lectures...
