So this morning I spend a couple hours beginning the building of the website for the Sabotage States Initiative. The initiative's goal is to educate and mobilize voters in states where their legislators or governors are blocking medicaid expansion and the smooth implementation of the ACA (or Obamacare).
The bottom line is that in these states, partisanship takes precedence over the lives of their constituents. And I, for one, am FLAMING ANGRY about that. People are going to die in these states, literally, because of political partisanship.
So I decided that Bold Blue Media Alliance would create a series of TV, radio and internet "ads" (video and infographics) to reach these voters. That we'd build some partnerships to get the word out and hopefully create some blowback in those recalcitrant states before open enrollment begins in October.
This weekend I started working on videos and this morning I made a new map and started on the website.
But I need your help. If you live in one of those red, grey or charcoal colored states, and would like to create a short (30 seconds to one minute) video to share your story, I'd love to have it. I'd like to include it with some state-based facts on each of those states.
The video doesn't have to be fancy or "produced" looking. In fact, it's better if it's not. The fact is, real people need to hear other real people talk about how this will effect their lives.
If you're interested, please kosmail or email me at m.paige at bold blue media.com. I'd like to have the site done by this weekend.
