So, I am confused.  
This grassroots campaign had something to do with birds and tweeting?

[Moderator Warning]

Given that I’ve already given a couple of moderator notes on this subject, I’m going to make this an official warning for inappropriate political commentary and failure to follow moderator instructions. Don’t do this again.

Since no relevant information has been added for several days, and this thread seems to be a magnet for potshots, I’m going to close it. If you want to discuss other aspects of this subject, there are several threads available in other forums.
