In the past few weeks, the Freedom From Religion Foundation’s billboard ("Imagine No Religion"  ) in the city of Rancho Cucamonga, CA was taken down... and... the Atheist Foundation of Australia was denied ad space on buses.  Regardless of our beliefs or lack thereof, we should all be completely appalled.

Here in the DC area, however, the American Humanist Association (AHA) has purchased ad space ("Why believe in a god?  Do good for goodness' sake."  ) on Metro buses.  The buses are operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.  Apparently Metro has currently received 70 some compliments and 200 and some complains. A few days ago Metro had only received 1 compliment.

I'd like to encourage everyone to pick up the phone and compliment Metro on selling ad space to everyone.  You can make a comment to Metro here: http://www.wmata.com/riding/ridercomment.cfm or by calling their media relations number - 202-962-1051.  I posted this idea on the Beltway Atheists mailing list a few days ago and one of our members mentioned that they were told by Metro to call the following number - 202-637-1328.
