Over the next few months, there will be enormous amounts of money spent to capture our eyes and ears by candidates running for office. With the presidential race soon to be in full swing, assisted by the fully funded Super PACs, we're about to be deluged with information and dis-information.
How about if we band together and shut out the noise! Keep your remote handy and every time you see a political ad start on TV, press the MUTE button. When you're driving in the car and you hear one on the radio, turn the volume down for 30 seconds. Sure, it takes a little effort, but the only reason these people spend obscene amounts of money is because we listen and they think they have a chance to capture our vote. If nobody is listening, they lose. And we win by taking the responsibility to figure out which candidate best fits our personal views by doing our own research and finding out for ourselves, rather than letting some high paid advertising agency jamming twisted truths (at best) or lies down our throats.
Remember, every time you hear or see a political ad, MUTE IT. It's not easy... these advertisements are made to be engaging... to capture our attention.... to make us believe. Don't do it. Turn it off. Don't fall for the sound-bites. You will feel better for taking control of your own opinions and the country will be better with citizens that make the effort to find "truth" rather than being fed "engineered truth".
SEE IT - MUTE IT
HEAR IT - MUTE IT
