The Bush In 30 Seconds ad contest has a winner! The entrants were honored on Monday night by a crew of celebrities ranging from Michael Moore and Al Franken to Chuck "D" and Margaret Cho. But the ads were the stars -- the crowd was bowled over by their power. The Overall Best Ad and People's Choice Winner was (drumroll) "Child's Pay" by Charlie Fisher of Denver, CO.

To see the winning ads and support getting them on the air, go to:

Building on the power and creativity of this work, we're making an important announcement: With your help, we can take the winning ad to the Super Bowl. We were planning to play the winning ad nationally on CNN during the week of Bush's State of the Union address, but the response to the ads has been way beyond our expectations. We've been working to put together something even more exciting. A political ad has never been placed on the Super Bowl before, and with your help, "Child's Pay" will be the first. Together, let's send Washington a clear message: no more politics as usual.

The Super Bowl ad will cost $1.6 million to place nationally, but we can afford this if we can complete the MoveOn.org Voter Fund $10 million dollar grassroots campaign, which now stands at $7.5 million. Can you help?

Remember, for every two dollars you give, a dollar is added by a matching grant, so your contribution goes even further.

I'm seriously thinking about doing this.
