I saw this billboard today while driving on a major highway in Austin. I've never seen this kind of noncommercial, apparently nongovernmental billboard in TX before so naturally it caught my attention.
It seems this is
sponsored by "The foundation for a better life" whose
wiki says that it was "Founded in 2000 with a $700 million
endowment from Philip Anschutz, a member of the
Evangelical Presbyterian Church
(United States)... The organization launched its first campaign on
November 9, 2001.... The foundation creates public service campaigns to
communicate its values, such as honesty, caring, optimism, hard work, and
helping others....The Foundation neither solicits nor accepts monetary
donations from the public. It is not officially affiliated with any religion,
instead hoping that "the values we share transcend any particular religion
or nationality". Folks, this is what conservative messaging (OK call it propaganda if you like) looks like. This is being seen now because it is resonating with the herd. Nobody puts out messaging that is in total conflict, that is a waste of time and money. The pendulum is swinging right.
