How many DUers out there have produced info flyers and distributed them?
I don't know how to put up a poll so please just sign in with a yes?
I'm just curious to know if we are doing all that we can to inform the public and to organize to win in November.

1. I suggested DU host a section for doing this some time ago...
But we all thought we should wait until we had a nominee. Well, since by all practical purposes we do, now is the time to begin.

Afterall, we have DU-ers in every state. We could even encourage our meetup participants to do so?

2. I have a flyer but no webspace.
The flyer is called "They All Lied." It's PDF, 121k. If anyone is interested in hosting it, please PM me.

:shrug:

I'm probably getting myself in trouble here ;)

PS

They guy at Anybodybutbush.info said he/she would host a flyer. But, he and I agreed that it should appeal to those on the left and right. Just as Granny D suggested in her truthout piece today.


I ALSO LIKE GRANNY D'S IDEA OF PRINTING OUT AND DISTRIBUTING "STORIES" FROM REPUTABLE MEDIA LIKE CRONKITE.

ALSO ANDY ROONEY HAS HAD SOME GOOD PIECES ABOUT THE WAR???

4. I have...
Many times, especially prior to the lead up to the war. I placed them on parked cars or left them on steps in parking garages, in doctor's offices, etc. I also distribute about 40 deception dollars per week: http://www.deceptiondollar.com

If only one in ten people who picks one up goes to the site and begins questioning the official version of events, the process of awakening the Sheeple will have begun.

6. I have passed out a lot of bumper stickers and
literature from the Kerry campaign.

I will be standing on busy street corners holding a Kerry sign as the Election nears.


I have also pasted a simple sign that reads,


Bush
Lied
People
Died



I also reformatted this and put it up on the net.

this will download the document to your drive.


Mostly I mess with Photoshop

8. I printed out Will Pitt's Truth Out editorial from last week .....
And put copies under the windshield wipers of some cars at the grocery store......does this count?

I don't know if anyone will read it, but it's been my experience that people get totally fired up when they read that guy's column.

10. Hats off to the activists among us.
I did this back in 2002, worked my fingers and printer to the bones. Places fliers in Wal-Mart parking lots, K-Marts, Sams, churches, and supermarkets. I don't know if it did any good but I hope so. I'm seein quite a few bumper stickers in a known conservative area of PA.

11. BBV and PNAC flyers
Other things to do.

If your town has free A&E weeklies, open the box and include free flyers with the top 4-5 papers. Ditto Today's Careers, Rental Housing, etc.

I work swing-graveyard, and sometimes when I get a gas fill, our daily regular newspaper bundle is left outside the minimart. Stick some freebies in here, too.

Laundromats are good, also used bookstores. Public restrooms.

When I pay bills and make donations to organizations, I used to stick Kucinich literature in them. General 'educational' flyers can be mailed this way also. I've actually had a couple of people write me back after receiving them.

A cheap easy thing to do--how many Business Reply envelopes do you get? I put educational flyers in every single one of them and mail them back (general rule--no money inside, no return address either).
