Great idea. I'm not sure how I would go about doing this, but I might just give it a go. I definately do feel strongly about what's going on at the moment. I think it is an excellent idea for a contest. I will have interest in seeing what entries you get.

My entry is going to be for option 3. I'm not very good at expressing political opinions, but here's what I've got.
-
I submitted 2 of mine, cause they're a series and they are supposed to go together

What a coincidence I just wrote a song about the government and all thier wonderful misconception that have tormented the average individual on a daily basis! Wooooo Hoooooooo! Good luck to every one!

WOW, thanks for the nod on Model Citizen- so far that's two honorable mentions for it. I don't write political stuff much but when I do, I try to make it unique and not just ranting.
Anyways, I definately like your choice for gold- King Bongmaster's got a good head on his shoulders. Just goes to prove marijuana's good for you and makes you think! hey, that's probably why the goverment made it illegal
Anyways Congratulations to the winners and the other honorable mentions, and thank you to the judge for running such an intelligent contest! Hopefully people learned something!
