Billionaires for Bush pre-RNC action


Johnny America and his band of Revel-utionary Patriots Greene Dragon has taken some Billionaires for Bush prisoner. Greene Dragon - named for the Boston tavern where patriots plotted the American revolution - has just completed a third of high profile actions based on historical events: the signing of the Declaration of Independence from Corporate Monarch George III on July 4th Paula Revere's Ride down Lexington Ave. warning New Yorkers The Republicans are Coming! on August 24th and now the daring Crossing of New York Harbor on the Staten Island Ferry based on Washington crossing the Delaware to take the city back from the Republicans which resulted in an altercation with some opposing Billionaires for Bush. With slogans like Leave no Billionaire behind Corporations are people too and Blood for oil - and having spread to more than 75 chapters in the United States and abroad - Billionaires for Bush is one of the most visible of several political street theater groups around. Formed during the last Republican Convention four years ago the 'Billionaires' appear in full evening dress loudly proclaiming their admiration for the best president money can buy. Some of their recent actions have included a Billionaire Limo Tour through Midwestern Swing States thanking tax payers in NYC for paying our fair share and writing George W. Bush a giant greeting card (and presenting the swing state Ohio giftwrapped) in honor of his birthday. The greeting: What do you give the man who's given us everything? Answer: The election.
