Get It Off Your Chest -- Create A Layer Over Joe Wilson's Webpage

After last night's occurrence when Congressman Joe Wilson heckled President Obama by yelling "You lie!" during Obama's address to a joint session of Congress, Wilson's official website was overrun with traffic. The site has been taken down to prevent those of us who would have liked to send him a message from doing so.

Well, you still can!

And here's how you do it. I've created a layer over his website. Check it out here: http://www.layers.com/mike/1619

You can create one too and then you can see the layers created by everyone else. Don't be prevented from exercising your free speech!

This is Joe Wilson's website: - http://www.joewilson.house.gov

Layers.com is where you go to create the layer. It's simple.

Enjoy!

Like people who guard secret recipes and leave an ingredient out to prevent someones elses dish tasting like yours, some detail is really missing here...

Mike your head lines reads... create a layer over JOE WILSONS WEBPAGE, you even provide the url...

but yet, the ONLY place I see any layers over "Joe Wilsons webpage" is at THIS url... http://www.layers.com/mike/1619 which is NOT Joe Wilsons webpage...

what's the deal???

I created a layer, (on firefox) but am unsure how it shows up over wilsons website. After creating the layer I went back to see if it shows up at wilsons site, it doesn't.

So what good is this so called layer Mike Mcready???

I have an even better idea!

Write the SC department of tourism and the Hilton Head chamber of commerce and tell them you will no longer spend your vacation dollars in SC. SC depends a great deal on tourism to their beaches and places like Charleston, Kiawah Island, Myrtle Beach, etc. Vote with your pocketboook: boycott SC until they 'fire' Joe Wilson in 2010!

Might have been a cool idea if it worked. I just got a blank page with a small bar that kept loading and loading and loading....but nothing happened. Ah well. Guess we'll just have to wait for Joe's page to come back up, since we "liars" crashed it.

I've got another idea: Donate money to Wilson's opponent in next year's election, Rob Miller:

Unfortunately this doesn't work with Firefox, Noscript and Adblock.

It ain't too good in IE, either. I go with the ActBlue route too.
