Ask DU Admin. to add a DU Regional Sub-forum
I just asked the site Admin. to add a regional feature where we could find and organize with people in our own state! If you agree please express your support:

4. mzmolly, you could help
Your a moderator. Can you help? The goal is removing W off more than keyboards. I think this could help us mobilize.

Skinner has created "campaign underground" but I'd be glad to do whatever I can.

I suggested mass flyer drops before highliting Bush's failures/policies. I do have a website that has said they would host a printable flyer...?

I also am certain that if DU-ers each distributed 25 flyers every week at the Dr.s office, dentist, on cars etc..all over the US, we might be able to chip away at shrubs credibility enough to make a difference?

13. Yes yes yes
I take flyers/pamphlets where ever I go. Even made my own since the Kerry web-site could be more Deany.

14. Well, what we need to do is gather talking points...
that appeal to average americans across all political spectrums.

We'll see what Skinner says about a forum and take it from there.

Otherwise we could meet in activism and go for it!

I was waiting to get closer to the election before proceeding with the idear.

16. Here is what my flyer says
Bush Record:

• Opposed the formation of a 9-11 commission (why on earth?).
• 2.6 million jobs lost under his watch.
• Felony committed by his Administration regarding the disclosure of a undercover CIA agent (the wife of an ambassador that discredited their Iraq-bought-uranium-from Africa-assertion—coincidence?).
• Said inspectors were not let into Iraq. False Statement. They were there for months (about 3 months) and only left because Bush wanted to invade.
• Attempted to link Al Qaeda to Iraq to justify war, unsuccessfully.
• Said they “knew” there were WMDs in Iraq and even said they “knew” where they were.
• Re-inserted the uranium from Africa assertion into a speech after it was pulled per the request of the head of the CIA in previous speeches.
• We could go on…

Send Bush back to Texas!

5. Good idea.........
something along the line of Meetup maybe?

I know I have fellow WVians here at DU, some in my city in fact, but don't know how to contact any of them.

Good luck. I hope they take your advice!:)

8. It's a good idea, but creating 50 different forums would be a lot of work
for the administration.

I would do a single forum with 50 subforums so the lobby doesn't get overcrowded.

12. I agree.
For some of the larger states it would almost be nice to have them divided into south east and west, but I think each state would be sufficient as I would drive 200 miles to see Kerry or attend a big event. What is more we can make contacts and network with our state.
