Neat stuff. Relatively cheap, too.

7. They're using LED Light Strings

Check out the How-to page on their website.

I just Googled: Overpass Light Brigade. I think they've got a brilliant strategy for getting their message across.

10. This is the only thing getting me through this horrendous campaign

The threads that break me up in laughter, as this one did. What would it take to get one of these in HIS district?

[AllyCat]

11. I will talk to a work mate who lives in his district

About a good site. I bet I could get some folks to do this.

[Samantha]

16. OMG, if you are successful in doing this you have to let us know!

Pictures and posts about local reactions. I will keep my fingers crossed. Thanks.

Sam

17. Now that I have searched the OLB site, it's already been done

Not that there can't be more. Trying to join up with them Go to the link TomH posted above and the Gallery. They had one for Walker. Could work for Ryan too!

18. It would be cool to have a thread with a bunch of pictures of people doing this

toward the end of the campaign.

[shcrane71]
