I don’t need to tell anyone reading this blog that this is an election year full of passion, activism and real historical importance.

I’ve written in this space about the powerful surge of internet “e-activism,” which has given ordinary people extraordinary tools to challenge big money and big media. And I’ve welcomed creative groups like Billionaires for Bush, the Radical Cheerleaders and the Babes Against Bush, which are bringing humor, satire and fun to the struggle to (re)defeat the president.

Now there’s a recently launched new group which is giving the term “Bush-Free Zone” a whole new meaning. For a peek at what I mean, check out WomenAgainstBush.org. It’s the website of a new political action committee, Running in Heels, started by a twenty-something trade lawyer in Washington, DC.

The site asks people to, “Join Us in Brunching Against Bush, Wine Against Bush and for the really outrageous–Wax Away Bush!” With that rallying cry in mind, the group kicked off its first fundraiser last month by distributing certificates for free bikini waxes and panties with slogans. Two of my favorites–“Bush-Free Zone” and “Kiss Bush Goodbye.”
