Wolfowitz: Turning World Bank into The Office
Paul Wolfowitz is turning the World Bank into The Office. As we've learned in the last week, he's the kind of boss who makes it impossible for any work to get done. And while that can be painfully funny to watch on television, it's a tragedy at the World Bank -- the top global institution charge with fighting poverty. Avaaz.org -- Avaaz means "voice" in a number of Asian and Middle Eastern languages -- works to ensure that the views and values of the world's people shape global decisions. Our members want Wolfowitz out; 40,000 of them, from 189 countries, have signed our "fire Wolfowitz" petition. And now Avaaz and Phil de Vellis, whose expertise in new media and people-powered content are a perfect match for Avaaz's mission, have launched "The Bank" to drive the point home.

I Made the "Vote Different" Ad
I made the "Vote Different" ad because I wanted to express my feelings about the Democratic primary, and because I wanted to show that an individual citizen can affect the process. There are thousands of other people who could have made this ad, and I guarantee that more ads like it--by people of all political persuasions--will follow.
