 It's that time of year — America has basketball bracket fever. Here at CREDO, we've been putting the finishing touches on our second annual Bracket of Evil. It's a different spin on a fun tradition. You can vote in our bracket and help determine the most evil forces* at work in American politics today. This is not just fun and games. With such a target-rich environment for political activism, your votes will help guide our strategy for progressive action in 2010. Make your picks and we'll let you know who the winners are when this round of voting is over, so you can see your evil favorites all the way through to the championship. And once we have a winner, CREDO Action members can work together to go after the bad guys to try to stop their evil ways. It took a lot of effort (and a few passionate debates), but we narrowed the field to the "Sinister Sixteen" in four categories: Corporate, Media, Government, and Crazies. Thank you for everything you do to eradicate evil and fight for progressive values. *According to Wikipedia: "Evil, in many cultures, is a broad term used to describe intentional negative moral acts or thoughts that are cruel, unjust or selfish." In the context of the Bracket of Evil, we're using the term "evil" to describe the danger that threats to progressive values pose to our country and our world. We are not attempting to cast this debate in religious terms, but rather to have some fun while making clear the stakes of the fight. |
