Word of Blog
I got an interesting email from Word of Blog.net.
Here is the what it said:
Dear David Justus,
As you know, the midterm elections are coming up fast, and they’re shaping up to be the most important in years. Both houses of Congress lie in the balance, as does control of many of the Governors’ mansions.
As a public service, Word of Blog (WordofBlog.net) has built a database of online political ads (or “badges”) for all competitive congressional races and all gubernatorial elections. The database is available at http://www.wordofblog.net/elections2006.php.
Please show your support for your favorite candidate(s) by posting an Election 2006 badge on your site. All you have to do is use the US map to find the “badge” of the candidate you wish to support, copy the html snippet under the “badge”, and paste it to your blog template. We track and display all clicks, so you can see how many click-throughs to your candidate’s campaign website you and your fellow bloggers enabled.
This is a non-partisan effort, completely free for everyone involved.
Word of Blog is a pioneering free service in the world of viral blog advertising, with major successes in the worlds of grassroots political activism, non-profit outreach, and music promotion. You can learn more at http://wordofblog.net/about.php .
Please feel free to come to me with any additional questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Geoffrey Miller

An interesting idea, and certainly worthy of spreading around.
I plan to put up a banner for Mike McGavick, who is running for Senate against Maria Cantwell because I really, really don’t like Cantwell. McGavick doesn’t have a chance of winning, but still it is worthy effort.
The only other nationally siginifigant race I will be voting on in November is the WA 5th district congressional race. I like Cathy McMorris (the incumbent republican) just fine, and will vote for her, but I am not sufficiently excited about Republicans maintaining control of congress to do more than that.
Anyway, I thought that some of my readers might like using this service as well. Even those durn liberal ones.
