This site’s item on the planned Seattle bus ads that denounce aid to Israel for war crimes hit a nerve. Well it’s a groundswell, as I said. Here’s the Seattle Mideast Awareness Campaign that is spending the $1794 on the ads. Political awareness is coming to your community’s consciousness soon!
Apparently those ads are getting opposition out in Seattle, and Cindy Corrie sent out the following appeal, via the US Campaign to End the Occupation, to take part in a readers’ poll online:
Friends,
The Seattle Mideast Awareness Campaign’s effort to publicize Israeli War Crimes support with U.S. tax dollars on city buses is getting considerable attention. Story broke about this on Seattle King 5 TV Friday evening. The Jewish Federation has put out a letter opposing the ads.
If you haven’t taken the simple step of voting in The King 5 TV poll about the effort, please do! And please pass along to your lists and let others know. Seattle activists will need support this week. Note that those supporting the ads surged ahead in the unofficial poll yesterday after we put word out – but today the opposition has taken the lead.
Over 4500 have voted in the poll in just over a day, and the story has been the first or second most read story for the past day – and the most frequently emailed. Comments are welcome.
