John McCain and Sarah Palin are definitely bringing "change" to American politics. Sadly, it's by campaigning entirely on bald-faced lies.
They lie about themselves: that McCain "fought" Bush's disastrous policies while Palin "fought" the Bridge to Nowhere.
But more importantly, they lie about Barack Obama. Now they're saying he "pals around" with terrorists and "dangerously de-funded" our troops. These new lies follow dozens of older lies about religion, taxes, lipstick, and everything in between.
Do we want American politics reduced to bald-faced lies? Absolutely not.
Isn't there something we can do to end this politics of lies? As Palin herself (or SNL's Tina Fey) likes to say, "Yoo betcha!" And we can have fun too.
Our friends at Agit-Pop.com came up with a perfect description of the McCain-Palin campaign: "Pinocchio Politics." We're working together to get this powerful image to every voter in America through a simple and fun strategy: "McLiar Bingo."
With a little luck, we can stop "Pinocchio Politics" once and for all. To succeed, all we need is you!
First, download your own "McLiar Bingo" boards to have fun keeping track of McCain's lies while you watch the last two debates with your friends. And forward this message to a few friends.
Second, let's form "Pinocchio Posses" and hit the streets this Saturday, October 11 at noon local time. We'll gather at public places where lots of people pass by (supermarkets, post offices, football/soccer games, etc.).
We'll wear home-made "Pinocchio noses" and hand out home-printed "McLiar Bingo" flyers with the lies and the truth. And we'll simply invite people to play "McLiar Bingo" at home during the last McCain-Obama debate on Wednesday, October 15.

Let's make new friends and have a good time while we put an end to "Pinocchio Politics" and elect Barack Obama!
