Link: Amnesty International “Believes” You Can Close Gitmo With Your Cell Phone | Personal Democracy Forum

Amnesty International USA tapped the mobile medium today with a full page ad in todays NYT asking citizens or anyone with a US number to sign a petition asking Congress to close Guantanamo Bay with their cell phones. The add which appears on page A22 is one of the first by a major political non-profit to fully display and make a big deal about a short code in a major newspaper add (seen above). The the bottom of the page says: “Sign The Pledge. Text “Believe” to 30644

Good good, excellent to see the medium being used for more and more of these type of things.
