In Peru, you don’t see election signs that much, except in bigger cities. In the countryside, what political parties do is paint entire houses to advertise. For every sign there is an icon, or a symbol. The reason for that is simple: most rural Peruvians can’t read so when they go vote, they vote by selecting one of the symbols on the voting card. As a Peruvian, if you agree to have your wall painted, and your candidate wins, then you are rewarded in some way, with a job perhaps or some kind of preferential treatment. If your candidate loses, tough! You're stuck with the sign until the weather erodes it away, or it gets over-painted in the next election. Another thing they do to advertise in rural areas is parades. From 6am to almost 1am, you see groups of 20-30 people walk down streets chanting slogans, screaming in loudspeakers, playing musical instruments and having fun. It’s not fun for tourists trying to sleep but it’s interesting nonetheless. One thing we’ve noticed during those parades was one individual handing out pens, and discretely asking people to vote for them, and giving them the pen and a bit of money. This is illegal in Peru, but we’ve been told that this is still a rampant practice.

It was another mission yet again for my squad. We received word that an important senator was captured on a diplomatic mission, he was boarded onto a separatist cargo frigate. We always get the rescue missions, must be a lucky call. I knew right away when we passed a door that the senator was in the room, it was the only door with a pass code lock. Blast, one of my troops, was in the window above. He gave me the go, Patch, the medic and also my second in command was right next to me we were about to blow the door. This part is pretty easy, it's getting out of here that's the challenge.

Fire struck the informal settlers who had made the long stretch of sidewalk in Bgy. Manresa (Q.C.) as their residence. The local politician is already making his presence felt.
Used one of my dumpster crackle medium backgrounds on rescued card stock with soft block carved emoji stamp, text, sharpie, and acrylic paint. Looks like a California lawn....during our "fake" drought.
Number 45, who complained about President Obama playing golf too much, is now on track to spend 1/3 of his time in office at the golf club. Approximately three times as much time golfing as Obama.
when trying to find a name for these ventriloquist dummys all I could think of was politics.. a big thanks to magiclanternstudio.com for having such an amazing store.

after a nightly action this old girl is dressed correctly now - for sure it was nice to watch the young lady, who gave her bra as a gift to her older sister ... - compare my "V" photo archive at flickrcomments.wordpress.com/2012/05/29/a-z-archive-v-cha...

In the final jam of a British Championship roller derby bout against the Killahurtz Roller Girls Norfolk Brawd Political Vagenda has taken a star pass and then had a long exhausting battle against a Killahurtz wall to hang on to a slim but winning lead.
No excuses, every single registered voter in America needs to go vote today before the polls close!
Lets make history, America!
I made these for an event tonight honoring a member of our state's House of Representatives, Steve Martin from Bartlesville.
I made a major error this morning when I started piping the state flag shield on the centerpiece cookie instead of his logo.......so I just kept on piping and added his name. It still looks okay, but I would have preferred his logo........ lesson learned - do not start piping before you have had that first cup of coffee in the morning!
There are four destructive interactions, called the four dissembling horsemen. They include:
* Criticism — instead of complaining about a behavior, you attack the other's personality or character, usually with blame. Criticism of personality also comes in the form of listing complaints about past behaviors and thereby suggesting a character fault.
* Contempt — contempt is criticism that is intended to insult and psychologically abuse a person. Contempt reflects a very negative view of that person.
* Defensiveness — defensiveness is a way of avoiding taking responsibility for setting things right by denying responsibility, making excuses, attributing negative thoughts to others, using one's own complaints to counter another's complaints, and simply repeating oneself.
* Stonewalling — stonewalling is a break down of communication. The person turns into a 'stone wall' and stops responding to communication.

Last Saturday a large group of right wing extremists attacked this pro-asylum political party's office in the center of The Hague. All windows at ground floor level were smashed in.
A gift from me to the great politicians from my time... In any case they usually sit on bottomless chairs facing the wall.. this should add one such chair in their kitty...
Enjoy...
And a very happy Independence Day !!!
Last month, as I was waiting for a large group of friends at a local restaurant franchise for dinner, I sat on a couch in front of the building watching the brightly colored coi swimming patiently in this pond and waiting patiently for the dinner party members arrive.
Dear Flickr Friends (and otherwise!), after a much needed (and unexpected) break, I have returned to post images. During that time, I missed the enjoyment of viewing your photostreams. Don't worry, I will be viewing your images shortly, and thanks for your inquiries. So glad to be back. :)

PARTY-POLITICS*
• Jede Party ist politisch, auch ohne Transparente und Flugblätter.
• Politisch ist der Umgang der Leute miteinander: Gemeinschaftlich oder sind alle auf einem Ego-Trip?
• Politisch ist es, wenn alle ehrfürchtig zum DJ hinauf blicken und ihn bejubeln, was immer er auch macht.
• Politisch ist, ob es bei einer Party um die Community geht oder nur um Profit.
• Politisch ist auch das Verhältnis zur Natur bei einem Open-Air: Bleiben Müllberge zurück?
• Politisch sind Partys auf denen in Straßen, Supermärkten und Konzernzentralen für Veränderung getanzt wird.
• Und politisch sind Partys, die sich bewusst Kommerz, Konsum und Kontrolle widersetzen, um dadurch zu einem wirklichen Freiraum zu werden...

PARTY-POLITICS*
• Every party is political. There needn’t be a banner hanging with a political demand anywhere.
• So, for example, the question of who makes money out of a party is political. Is it a single person that thrives on inflated admission charges? Or is it a group of people that are mainly concerned with a good party?
• Political is the handling of nature at an Open-Air event. Does one strive to use the place sensibly or are there piles of rubbish left behind?
• Political is how people interact with each other at a party. Is it collaborative or an Ego-trip?
• Of course a consciously organized party that becomes a free space and defies the guidelines of commerce and consumption and control is also political.
• Political is as well how drugs are handled on a party.
• For example it is also political if all reverentially look up to the DJ and acclaim whatever he may do.
• Political is more than the question whether a track has political lyrics. Policy is also more than the talk of ministers. Policy is the relationship between us. Policy is our daily action ...

In Ireland Political Posters may only be erected for a certain specified time period before an election. This time period is either (a) 30 days before the poll date or (b) from the date the polling day order for the election has been made, whichever provides the shorter period of time. Posters (including the plastic cable ties) must be removed within 7 days of polling day. These requirements for election posters are set out under section 19 of the Litter Pollution Act 1997 and the Electoral (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 2009.
In politics, campaign advertising is the use of an advertising campaign through the media to influence political debate, and ultimately, voters. These ads are designed by political consultants and political campaign staff. Many countries restrict the use of broadcast media to broadcast political messaging. In the EU, many countries do not permit paid-for TV or radio advertising for fear that wealthy groups will gain control of airtime making fair play impossible and distort the political debate in the process.
In both the United Kingdom and Ireland, paid advertisements are forbidden, though political parties are allowed a small number of party political broadcasts in the run up to election time. The United States has a very free market for broadcast political messaging. Canada allows paid-for political broadcasts but requires equitable access to the airwaves. Campaigns can include several different media (depending on local law). The time span over which political campaign advertising is possible varies greatly from country to country, with campaigns in the United States lasting a year or more to places like the UK and Ireland where advertising is restricted by law to just a short period of weeks before the election. Social media has become very important in political messaging, making it possible to message larger groups of constituents with very little physical effort or expense, but the totality of messaging through these channels is often out of the hands of campaign managers.
During the campaign, President Obama argued that his election would help restore the image the rest of the world has of United States.
In the six months since his election, his approval ratings at home have slipped, though they remain high. Around the rest of the world, opinion is mixed. A recent study by WorldPublicOpinion.org asked people in 21 countries whether they had confidence that Obama would “do the right thing” when it came to world affairs. Our latest Transparency is a look at their responses.
