The "Uncle Sams" wore disheveled costumes and their cardboard signs contained slogans like "12 trillion $$$ in debt. PLEASE HELP." The campaign publicized information on the consequences of the growing U.S. debt〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Historical Debt Outstanding - Annual 2000 - 2009 )〕 and was featured in ''The Economist.'' Later that same month, the "Uncle Sams" appeared in New York City,〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Reuters )〕 Boston, and Chicago. "Defeat The Debt" has also run newspaper and television advertisements. During the 2009 Super Bowl, a "Defeat The Debt" television commercial〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=YouTube )〕 was aired featuring elementary school students reciting a pledge to "American's debt, and to the Chinese government that lends us money. And to the interest, for which we pay, compoundable, with higher taxes and lower pay until the day we die." The group's website, DefeatTheDebt.com, features a clock that keeps a running tally of the country's national debt.
