			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Political activism does not need to take on a strident, aggressive tone all the time.  Sometimes, an effective message takes a laid back form that gently suggests instead of urgently pleading.  This more relaxed kind of activism is demonstrated by a bumper sticker that is against the presidential campaign of <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/stopmccain">John McCain</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates.251940532"><img src='http://progressivebumpersticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/251940532v2_240x240_front-1.jpg' alt='Miami Against McCain bumper sticker' align='right' border='0' />The bumper sticker is for <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates.251940532">Miami Against McCain</a>, and it just wouldn&#8217;t seem right for the bumper sticker, designed for McCain as it is, wouldn&#8217;t seem right if it were in plain old patriotic red white and blue, or in alarming black and yellow.</p>
<p>This cool, serene Miami combination of pink and green seems just right for Miami.  It&#8217;s an important lesson for people who design activist gear: Politics is global in its impact, but local in its expression.</p>
<p>Of course, it&#8217;s also not like Miami to be merely against things.  So, here&#8217;s a link to a local activist group for those who support the best alternative to John McCain: <a href="http://my.barackobama.com/page/group/GenerationObamaMiami">Generation Obama Miami</a>: <i>&#8220;an unconventional merging of young donors and young activists&#8221;</i>.</p>
