This Halloween, nothing could be more frightening than . . .
McCain's White House of Horrors
Halloween comes just days before one of the most important presidential races of our lives, so why not do double duty with your holiday celebrations? Encourage your friends, family, and even complete strangers to think critically about the upcoming election by showing them what a McCain-Palin administration could hold for our future.

Costume and Action Ideas:
Here are a few of our favorite ideas for nightmares that could be turned into reality under a McCain-Palin administration. Each costume has point by point highlights to make it easy to replicate on your own -- you may have the makings for a great costume and not even know it!
Take action! Get your friends together and -- in costume! -- hold an action in your community on Oct 31. You could protest outside of a local conservative headquarters, outside of a McCain rally, or outside of city hall.
