Help for those too shy to confront, but fed up with GOP garbage spewing from people's lips...

[Pacifist Patriot]

Some people are too shy, uncomfortable or in an inappropriate setting to directly confront a silly rumor or nasty right-wing meme they are confronted with or overhear.

I have made up a single page with helpful links. I have a few pages with me every where I go.

I respond or politely join a conversation I have overheard with, "Oh my, it sounds like old-fashioned politicking have gotten in the way of understanding the political candidates. If you are like most voters and want to make up your own mind rather than allow propaganda to make it for you, I have a list of really helpful non-partisan websites - except of course for their own official sites - that will really help you separate the outrageous lies from the real policy positions of both candidates." and then I hand them the sheet of paper. It is up to them whether they care to educate themselves or persist in being stupid gits.
