The power of people to win democratic elections
Most people don't get involved because they feel how much of a difference they can make is small. I say Bull Shit! You're one task of calling, emailing or blogging 10 others once will reach almost 1,000,000 folks in a week's time.

Say you have ten DU blog folks from this thread post. They're asked to reach out to 10 more folks for just one day, but half are too busy or there's some redundant people. The remainder each reach out to ten more with the same message. How many days to reach over 150,000 folks?

10 less 50% = 5 contacting ten each. 50 people DAY ONE
50 less 50% = 25 contacting 10 each 250 people DAY TWO
250 people less 50% = 125 contacting 10 each 1,250 people DAY THREE
1250 people less 50% = 625 people contacting 10 each 6,250 people DAY FOUR
6250 people less 50% = 3,125 people contacting 10 each 31,250 people DAY FIVE
31,250 people less 50% = 15,625 people contacting 10 each 156,250 people DAY SIX

True total is 10 + 50 + 250 + 1250 + 6250 + 31250 + 156,250 = 195,310

My point is our campaign is to circumvent the high cost of media until we have critical mass then unfold hell on these neocons and make them put some investigative pressure on what is happening to our country and our democracy.

In two weeks we would exceed 100 million people.

No excuses cut and paste this message and pass it on.

Tell them to enjoy our BE PATRIOTIC IMPEACH BILLBOARD while they're at it, too!
