Did you know…
In the 2004 election:
-Over three million votes cast were not counted at all
-Over half a million absentee ballots were received but not counted
-Black voters absentee ballots were over 3 times more likely to be
rejected than White voters’
-Black voters votes were 9 times more likely not to be counted overall
-Latino voters votes were 5 times more likely not to be counted
Subsequently, using new regulations developed under Bush’s “Help
America Vote Act”:
-California rejected 40% of all new voter registrations in 2006
-The GOP Secretary of State of Florida plans to drop 85,000,
predominantly African-American, voters from the rolls before this
election.
-The former GOP Secretary of State of Colorado dropped almost 20% of
all registered voters from the state’s voter rolls. that’s one out of
every five. Now she’s the Chairman of the US Election Assistance
Commission for the entire country!
What you can do:
-Come to this event, see the screening, tell your friends (especially
press, “celebs” who will lend visibility to the issue, and anyone
with an audience to share the info with)

Contest, are they really that bad
September 14th, 2008 | Published in announcement, article, contests
Hi All,
While I was working on some sketches for the Uniqlo t-shirt design contest I noticed I didn’t tell my friend about it. I told him and he said he wasn’t interested. I mean it is free to enter, but again is it really free? If we consider the true capitalists ideology of time(work) equates money then it isn’t free. But his disagreement or conundrum wasn’t with the free issue, but that the fact these contest might lower ones self-esteem, especially when you loose and they don’t tell you why you lost. You try your best and you find its not good enough and you don’t get a critique as in a traditional art class. The winner gets their critique but you don’t.
Another factor that he brought up and we don’t often see, is that one is putting their creative idea there for others to see — you are giving free work or they can simply steal your idea. Remember there is always many winners but it doesn’t mean the losers are awful, frankly there idea can be much better than the winners, it’s just there execution was not the best for this contest. So do you want to enter a contest now?
I still do, I want the free publicity and the factor to know that someone will publish the work I wanted to be seen. Granted is it really the work I want to see or the work that Uniqlo and I want to see, they are the judges. And again by showing my work I am only allowing others to steal my ideas.
The only way I found to combat this is to be like Warhol in a sense were I create many bodies of work in a industrial manner so it is harder for others to catch up to me. But again I want to hear from others.
