I just learned about an amazing project through an email from my friend John Steiner. A blogger and twitterer named Ze Frank is asking Obama supporters (the 52%) to reach out to McCain supporters (the 48%) in a gesture of reconciliation on his blog at www.zefrank.com/from52to48withlove/

Dozens of people from all political leanings have sent in pictures of themselves with touching, pithy, or funny messages for “the 52″ or “the 48″ or all Americans written on pieces of paper, like the image shown here. Zefrank has posted these pictures in a long blog post called “From 52 to 48 with love.”

On the main page of his blog, I found this text about the project:

i would love to see a group project where obama supporters reached out to the mccain folk (and others) in a gesture of reconciliation…

simple messages.
perhaps it is naive. the differences are real, i know. but we have to repair the damage done from this election cycle somehow…
the fringes (all of them) have been allowed to dominate our conversations for too long. to create a cycle of hate, ill-will and revenge.
it’s a tough and delicate challenge – if you want to try it – send a pic of you with a sign, or a vid, or anything to
maybe it works, maybe not – i know it won’t speak to many : but i think we give it a whirl and decide for ourselves, yes?
