Target: John Baird

There are lots of great grassroots groups out there working to save Canada from Evul Stevul. One of my faves -- and one of the oldest -- is Unseat Harper. They've been working to get ordinary people -- not the bloggers and Tweeters and political junkies -- thinking about whether they trust Harper.

They've raised dough for newspaper and Internet ads. And now they working on a new idea -- Adopt-A-Riding. Individual members are taking on targetted ridings where the Con is vulnerable, doing some media research, and pleading for money. The latest target is John Baird and they are already way more than half-way to their (modest) goal of $595.

Got a few bucks? Like to see the back end of Foghorn Baird disappearing into the fog? Donate.

ADDED: If you do donate, send a FB message to Pam Allard to let her know that the dough is for the Baird ad.

Thanks, Fern! Our first Adopt-a-Riding Campaign was for Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar, and it was a quick success. We will have ads appearing in the Biggar Independent and the Rosetown Eagle on Monday.

Here is a link of one of those ads: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=194119063963643&set=o.292671928599&theater
