“You politicians have stayed professionals only because the voters have remained amateurs.”

Quote from the Spencer Tracy Movie, “State of the Union”

Gene Gartman, a Vietnam veteran, has decided people need to know what’s going on in the world, so he’s using his very own billboard to get the message out.  Maybe he wants to help voters not remain amateurs.

Gene and his wife are not happy with the way government is spending like it grows on trees, and he has dedicated himself to get the word out.

“Any politician who would sell a vote that benefits his district but does harm to the USA is a treasonous pimp” was one recent offering dedicated to senators in Nebraska and Louisiana who negotiated pork barrel deals in exchange for health care votes.

Gartman contends that most people can tell you who won American Idol five years ago, but don’t know the name of the speaker of the U.S. House. He’s doing what he can to rectify that.

Great idea, I think. Maybe billboards will be the new microblogs?

He changes the message every Friday.
