DOPE FLOATS...ersumpinlikethat

are you in desperate need of a job this summer? a job that pays $11-$16 per hour and all you have to do is go door to door promoting something you may or may not agree with?

how low would you go to feed your family?

from the ad (emphasis mine throughout):

"Why is now the time to work for change?

what people in their right minds don't already work?

Because we have a new president and new hope for a better America.

WGAS? i've ALWAYS held out hope for america - WTF does "better" america mean?

Because we need change like never before, on everything from the economy to climate change and more.

there's THAT word again - throw some estrogen/progesterone at it!

And because we know that the challenges we face, from ending our dependence on oil to winning the battle for equal rights, are huge—and the politicians and powerful interests who stupidly and stubbornly resist change aren’t calling it quits anytime soon.

WHAT do any of the above have to do with the stated mission?

America’s leading advocacy groups are gearing up to meet these challenges this summer. In order to win, they need citizen support and grassroots action. That’s where we come in.

WHICH advocacy groups might those be?

At the Fund for the Public Interest, we’ve been organizing campaigns to protect the environment, stand up for the public interest, and defend human rights for more than 25 years. We've helped cut global warming pollution with Environment America. And working with the Human Rights Campaign, we helped organize the grassroots opposition needed to defeat the discriminatory Federal Marriage Amendment.

once again, WTF does THIS have to do with the stated mission?

you simply MUST read the rest of the ad to believe your eyes - i'm thinking about hiring on - it may be a good time to let WE, THE PEOPLE know just which cow ate the cabbage AND get paid for doing so! no, my sarcasm knows no bounds.
