Shocking the Monkey:


an exercise in creative protest




Disgruntled American Voters: Upset about the way the Alleged Election was ultimately "resolved"? Want to do something useful to register your displeasure and distaste? Well, have we got an idea for you...

As it is apparent that the policy outlook of the Alleged President, George W. Bush, will most likely lean towards socially conservative and potentially damaging positions in regards to the environment and civil liberties, I suggest the following:

Make donations, in GW's name, to organizations and charities that support socially and environmentally responsible causes, and ask them to send "thank-you" cards to GW.
Hopefully this will drive him completely insane in relatively short order, especially if you're able to include a comment on the card to the effect of "if you won't help us, Mr. Bush, I'll do it for you" or somesuch (so long as it's polite!!). Remember, these don't have to be huge donations, but every little bit helps these organizations!


view some suggested causes:
animal welfare politics
civil liberties and human rights third party movements
environmental advocacy women's issues
gay and lesbian miscellaneous causes
journalistic integrity charities and foundations

reader suggestions thus far


This is very much an ongoing and collective effort; please, if there's an appropriate-seeming cause that isn't mentioned here, let us know! And keep in mind: an important component of this campaign is that the organization sends out thank-you cards for gift-donations! It's OK to suggest causes even if they don't -- one can always send a commemorative announcement of the donation oneself -- but if they do, so much the better, so please note this information in the "comments" box.
