Sign up for the SS Flash contest and vote for the best entry

Which I hope you'll think is MINE :)

I entered one called, "THE FAKETRIX" (Looks like THE MATRIX with green numbers floating around and Bush Clone Number 5 growing a little head that shouts "Bring 'em ON!" before Karl Rove rips it off)and I think it's one of my best works.

YOu may have to wade through 50 of them (and some are painful to be honest, a few standouts tho) to vote.

Sure appreciate it, not trying to pack the ballot box, use your own judgement, and it's for a good cause!

Here's where you can sign up, if it still allows you to join and vote, just passing the word along :)

If I get your vote, thanks in advance!

3. Good JOb!
I liked that one a lot.. it really is scary how many utterly dreadful and technically crappy ones there are - I expected a lot better crop to be honest..

If you want to know why I'm called Symbolman, you might want to go to http://www.symbolman.com and have a look, might interest you (I got a Hollywood award for my work with symbols) :)

So I like yours of course, it's right up my alley..

YOURS was the most eloquent and informative of the bunch in my opinion..

oh, and as for doing a lot of these, have a look at my site http://www.takebackthemedia.com we've been busy at these for a Looong time :)

congrats on the great entry!

4. cool!
Right on! I have seen lots of your stuff! Nice to meet you! That take back the media site rocks! Is that your site or do they host your stuff?

Man, thats great that you have done so many of these! Let me know if you ever need any help ...I know how time consuming this stuff can be!

I was doing a blog for my political cartoons (in traditional pen&ink) but I gave it up after the election as the day to day blogging was really depressing me and I also do not think I can stomach ever drawing bush again! He was funny to me BEFORE that last election and now I dont think he's very funny! Not very funny at all....

Anyway, these flash animations really get out there so I am trying to help out grass roots orgs wherever I can with free flash animations to get out the good word! I have really only done a few. Here is a link to my site for this stuff - www.townandplanet.com

dig it!

andy

5. great stuff, andy!
what i really enjoyed the most about your entry is that you NAILED how the social security "crisis" is actually a scam to rob even more money from the people who need to rely on social security the most. AND it gives a great solution how to supplement ss to cover any deficit in the future...

most people - including a majority of the semi-finalist entrants - don't get this, and their flashes are lacking in this way...

i'm sad symbolman's animation isn't ranked higher - his was all about the hypocrisy and fake crisis, but i don't think people are getting it.
