Pop-up Occupy Tents in front of the United States Capitol building

Here's a creative way to occupy your space on the national map and get your message heard:  with a Pop-Up Occupy Tent.

Download the USA map card and tent pattern of your choice (they're big files and may take a while). Write your message on the side and follow the directions for cutting out and constructing the pop-up into the card.Then address it to your government representative.

Make several. Set up your own encampment. Send them to all your representatives. It's fun and harder to ignore than an email or tweet. (Can you imagine all these little tents popping up at the White House and in the offices on Capitol Hill !!! ) Plus, the post office will love you for your business.
