DEAR JOHN KERRY - Use my flash attack ads to fight Bush and WIN!
Symbolman aka Micheal Stinson - Co Founder of Take Back the Media.com offers his
work to the John Kerry Campaign for FREE.


You've all see some of my work at one time or another.

I've actually won awards in Hollywood for some of my earlier pieces (WHY I'm called SYMBOLMAN) and my creation was one of the 16 finalists out of about 1600 submissions sent to the Bush in 30 seconds contest hosted by MoveOn.org's 527 organization.

My production pals (peopletopeople.tv) and our Guardian Angel (the man who paid along with donations sent to our site to air ARMY OF ONE on cable TV 3000 times) went to the MoveOn gala event in NYC and were happy to be in the same room with Michael Moore, Janeane Garofalo, Moby, and a long list of other progressive luminaries. We were in Heaven and MoveOn changed the polititcal landscape that night.

Even tho we didn't win the the Big Prize that night, the next evening I appeared on Joe Scarborough's show on MSNBC where he threw me for a loop.

I was expecting to get slammed for my "Bush is Not a Nazi - So Stop saying that.." flash movie - Right wing media had been all over MoveOn for two Bush/Nazi entries that had dropped like a rock when submitted, and were beating the subject like a circus donkey...

Scarborough showed my ARMY OF ONE (30sec) version and Loved it. So all my witty repartees got kicked to the curb. Oh well, at least our work go shown on National TV, and the very next day.

Soon after that, we all headed up to New Hampshire to chase presidential contenders and their backers, all over the area with video cameras..

On one of those occasions I was lucky enough to strike up a conversation with Teresa Heinz (knowing nothing about her) while she was hanging onto John Kerry's belt and being SO funny, warm, and graceful that I immediately fell in love with her - I think everyone will once she is better known.

Also had the pleasure of meeting with "Marvelous Marvin:, their huge (but not ungainly), very cool and hep, personal security guard. Teresa invited us all to go hang with them at the Carole King concert that night, but given that it was the coldest weather to hit the east coast in history, and that we were all sniffling and exhausted we graciously turned down the offer. I killed me as I really wanted to GO and get better acquainted with these wonderful folks. I like them a lot, I expect Kerry to be a great President and Teresa to be one of the BEST First Ladies the country has ever known.

While I talked to them I gave them one of my Take Back the Media business cards and told them that ARMY OF ONE was running on cable TV during the Primaries 3000 times and that it was just the ticket for Mr Kerry to kick Bush's ass a few of the major military issues.

I offered the ad FREE OF CHARGE to the Kerry team - told Teresa and "Marvelous Marvin" that it was THEIRS if they wanted it.

NOW I'm seeing commercials run by Bush that use nearly the same messages to Trash Kerry. The right wing smear machine is all over Kerry's illustrious and noble military career and it's sickening to watch. The Bush people have no message but FEAR and have to denigrate an actual HERO to try and re-steal the White House.

As a VETERAN who has worked in Veteran's hospitals I'm extremely pissed that these CHICKENHAWKS have this kind of nerve. This is plain EVIL and as unpatriotic as you get.

SO, I'm livid and I want to throw my full support behind Mr John Kerry, but I've been out of the political loop for a few months (moving, trying to make ends meet, etc) so I have no Contact information for the Kerry crew, and I want to get some facetime with Teresa, or someone near to the top. I met their campaign manager, or one of them and was blown off and that soured me a bit, so I need to get to someone that's is willing to take an honest look at what I do and what I'm good and and potentially USE some of my material.

HERE are 15 of what I consider my Best flash movies. They've been seen willie-nillie on the web (some have been attacked in the LATIMES, National Review, etc) - linked on BUZZFLASH (our Heroes) Michaelmoore.com, Howardstern.com and many more Great sites.

One of them has been downloaded nearly a million times - I'll let you guess which one, but one clue would be to say that the GERMANS Loved it. :)

I'll be adding paragraphs to each flash attack ad, about the subject matter, as I ad to this page.

Here's the list:

"Bush Knew - An American Requiem"
Music: Beethoven's Requiem in D major - "LaCrimosa"
WARNING: GRAPHIC

I created this exactly one year after the actual horror took place on 911. I found it absolutely impossible to believe that Bush would sit on his butt in a schoolroom KNOWING that one of the World Trade Center towers had been taken out by an airliner - and STILL sit there (even AFTER Andrew told him personall that the SECOND tower had been hit) and READ A BOOK ABOUT A GOAT FOR OVER A HALF AN HOUR.

Think about that. I've included all the information by the media that shows that he had FULL KNOWLEDGE of our country being under attack when he walked INTO that school (placing all those kids in danger - his whereabouts were well known - this was a planned photo op.

This flash may be disturbing to some people. It involves a split screen that shows Bush reading on the left while the buildings burn and poor souls are leaping to their death. The death that in my opinion was allowed to happen at a minimum and at a maximum shows utter incompetence by Bush, who as we have learned recently had MANY warnings in presidential briefs right up to the cataclysm. BUSH KNEW - AND DID NOTHING.

It was made possible by the use of actual footage made at the Booker Elementary school by local media that morning that shows CONCLUSIVELY that Bush SAT on a chair, looking mighty guilty to many of us.

"Bush is Not a Nazi - So Stop Saying That.."
A MILLION downloaders can't be wrong. The problem with this satire is like all good satires it has an element of TRUTH - the fact that Prescott Bush Traded with Nazis is IN the Federal Register - you can't "fake" that.

"ARMY OF ONE"
This is THE ad that will sink Bush -offered to John Kerry, he sure could use it now - listening John?
VIEW the 30 second TV ad here:

"Murder By Numbers"
I'm sick of seeing coffins - Bush want's to hide the bodies, watch this and you'll know WHY.

"CondoLIESa"
You saw her perjure herself, didn't you?

"ChickenHawk - Hall of Shame"
This includes ALL the evil white slobs that refused to fight for their country and now denigrate EVERYONE that DID.

"Triumph of the Wimp"
Based on the film 'TRIUMP OF THE WILL" about the propagandaistic use of the Media from the beginning by the Nazis.. many parallels between then and now. The Wimp of course is BUSH.

"Pentagoon"
Rumsfeld denigrates and insults troops that were drafted IN ALL WARS.

"VoteREvolution"
Your votes are NOT SAFE. Diebold will give you a reciept at their ATMs but NOT for your vote - Vaporware will install BUSH again, and it MAY have allowed him to steal the election in the first place!

"Duct Tape Theater"
Thom Ridge is wacked. This work is based on an actual site using insanely stupid symbols to help us stay safe from terrorism. We have the terrorists in one spot now. It's called "The White House."

"Hate Radio Called.."
Rush Limbaugh is dissected and turned into paste in this interactive work where his OWN WORDS are crammed up his poloidnal cyst.

"Baghdad Snapshot Action"
Made before we attacked Iraq - this shows every day citizens and kids that Bush decided to murder. Remember when he was only a serial killer in Texas, now he's graduated to Mass Murderer.

"Warnography"
This one is a Quicktime - While in NYC I made a big black cardboard coffin - and placed it, covered in a flag and a flower at the doorstep of the Recruiting Center in the middle of Times Square with a 35 foot screen showing how much fun it would be for kids to skateboard into Iraq as "sport"

"The Protest that Never Was"
My friends and I got into another pal's 1937 Roll Royce - dressed as Cheney, Bush, and Powell and threw MONEY to crowds right outside of the Newspaper - and they didn't NOTICE us.

"One Hundred Lies In 30 Seconds"
This was one of my offerings in the Bush in 30 seconds contest that was sponsored by MoveOn.org - I still like it, and think it works.

I'm not beating my drum here, these are available for everyone to view (if you haven't seen some of them, then here is your chance)

But mainly this is a plea to anyone that views this page to CONTACT the Kerry Team and help them make use of some of my work and style - I'm offering these works for FREE use by them - we need to get the Beasts out of OUR Precious White House.

The ARMY OF ONE ad comes in 30 and 60 seconds flavors and is already Vetted by the cable companies.

John, Teresa, Marvelous Marvin? Give me a call - we love you and we want to help, and it's time to hit them back HARD with facts, wit, and truth.

Anyone else viewing this page, Please pass it along - THIS is another way to fight these creatures, blanket the WEB with these Flash Attack Ads!

As you can see, WE DELIVER :)
