[imc-atlanta-ed] Hi and thought you might want to see this ...

[Marc Schuler]

Hi ya'll,

This is from Marc out in Colorado (in case anyone remembers me!)

First off, I got the email below from a group whom I guess things I still 
live in Atlanta.  Most likely you've already seen this, but if not I thought 
I'd pass it along.  Sounds like interesting street theater, and even if you 
guys aren't interested in helping, it would probably make some great 
pictures and/or video.

Anyways, after I got this, I went to atlanta.indymedia.org, and the new (to 
me at least) layout on the site looks great.

Hope ya'll are all doing well!  (and apologies if you've already seen this 
like ten times already!)
Marc

Subj:  Sign Up to Drive the Pig Mobile in Atlanta

TrueMajority - Wanna Drive the Piggies?


Here's Another Chance to Walk Your Talk,
and Drive It Too Sign Up to Drive the Pig Mobile in Atlanta and Help Hold 
President Bush Accountable for the Iraq War



The PantsOnFire Mobile-the 12-foot statue of President Bush with his pants 
aflame- has been a hit, garnering media attention and turning heads across 
the Eastern seaboard. George is now on his way West to spread the truth 
about Bush's lies.

Following in his wake is the Pig Mobile, another whimsical art car by your 
friends at TrueMajority. The Pig Mobile consists of three different-sized 
piggy banks strung together to illustrate just how big a financial disaster 
the Iraq War has turned out to be.

The largest pig (by far) shows the financial cost ($200 billion) of 
America's attack on Iraq, including the projected minimum cost of 
reconstruction. The smaller pig illustrates how much the federal government 
spends on K-12 education ($34 billion). And the third pig, which is a wee 
little pig, shows America's dedication to lessening world hunger and poverty 
($10 billion).

These piggies feature an oinking soundtrack and are made of striking pink 
fiberglass based on a full-sized Chevy van towing a trailer.

Our goal is to keep the mess in Iraq on people's minds and to hold President 
Bush accountable for it-even if the media does not report the facts on the 
costs of America's attack on Iraq. And there's no better way to understand 
the giant numbers involved than to compare them to how little our government 
finds to spend on stuff we all care about-like schools and world hunger.

The Pig Mobile will be in Atlanta from May 16 - 30. If you'd like to 
volunteer to take 'em for a spin (the pigs must be driven during the day), 
or if you have a place to park 30-feet worth of porkers when they're not 
being driven (space must be available for 1 week), please click here and 
fill out the little form and we'll hook you up:

Yours in holding Bush accountable, and having fun doing it,

Ben
