I just love this idea. Kudos to this group. They appear to be like our group with people who are Republicans as well as Democrats and Independents.

New Jersey DFA Launches Antiwar Billboard Campaign
Lewis Miller is a founder and board member of Bergen Grassroots, the DFA group in Bergen County, NJ.

Last Wednesday, Bergen Grassroots held a press conference at the site of its second anti-war billboard. The billboard is part of a campaign that initially includes four high-visibility billboards running for four weeks each during April, May, and June, with the message, "Bring Our Troops Home. NOW!".


At the conference, Bergen Grassroots Chairman Paul Eisenman spoke of the importance of framing the campaign's message visually. "We're including the yellow ribbon because we want to reclaim it." Eisenman, a partner in an advertising & public relations firm, noted that the Bush Administration had used the words "Support our troops" to mean "Support our war." Bergen Grassroots board member Keith Krebs, who is also a Republican county committee member, noted that "the administration has left the Republican party... has left the young people who are fighting this war of choice, not necessity." The billboard campaign received coverage the following day in the Bergen Record, the largest newspaper in Northern New Jersey, and generated immediate calls from members of the public interested in joining our meetings.
