You still have time to enter the contest—the deadline is May 20. This weekend is a perfect opportunity to park the lawn mower and break out the camera and tell us:

• How can we turn around what most of us agree is our country’s wrong-headed direction?

• What’s not working?

• What changes would you like to see?

• How do we get it done?

You can use any form of visual expression, including song, poetry, comedy and/or animation in the form of a video, to send us your thoughts and ideas.

The contest is part of the union movement’s “Turn Around America” mobilization in which we’re reaching out to working family voters around the country, building grassroots momentum to elect leaders who will fight for workers’ freedom to form unions, fair trade and an economy that works for all.

There are a number of guidelines you will need to follow. For example, the videos must be less than three-and-a-half minutes in length; you must be at least 14 years old as of April 1, 2008; and the video must not include any reference to any political person, candidate, party, association or corporation in any way.

Did we mention that the national grand prize is a $2,000 check?

Some contest-winning videos will be featured in TV ads getting the “Turn Around America” message out to voters and candidates this election year.
