LET'S WORK TOGETHER AND GET THE WORD OUT!

[GingerSnaps]

First of all we need to do a massive emailing and let Kerry and Edwards know that they need to go on an all out attack against Bush and Company and they need to keep bashing and bashing his policies over and over again.

We need to start passing out flyer's with our information on it since we don't have a media.

We can get things done if we work together and there are so many of us that it would help.

Let's put our money where our mouth is and start by getting the word out.

[Sugarbleus]

1. I'm game. Where do we write to get their attention? eom

[Feanorcurufinwe]

2. I'd suggest volunteering at your local Democratic headquarters

if you actually want to help.

[GingerSnaps]

3. I have been doing that since 2000

I worked on Gore's campaign and I am also an election judge.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

4. Then, surely you realize that mass emailing tthe Kerry campaign

to give advice is a total waste of time and effort for everyone involved.

[GingerSnaps]

5. No it's not a waste of time

People sitting on their ass and complaining about everything and doing nothing is a waste of time.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

6. What I am advocating is volunteering with local Dems.

If you are already doing that this year, great. I am not advocating sitting on one's ass or complaining and doing nothing. :eyes:

However, a mass email campaign directed at the Kerry campaign sounds like disruptive spam to me. Just mho.

[GingerSnaps]

7. That's your opinion

Everyone is entitled to one and my opinion is to do what we did when we wanted Senator Byrd to know how much we appreciated him speaking up for us. We called and emailed him and he spoke up even more.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

8. Yeah my opinion is that the Kerry campaign has better things to do

then read advice from supporters, no matter how well-intentioned.

During the height of what Presidential campaign did your email assault on Byrd take place? I didn't even know he ran for president.

[GingerSnaps]

11. Who assulted Byrd and what's your PROBLEM?

Byrd didn't run for president did he? We all contacted Byrd when Bush was getting ready to start the war don't you remember that?

The people that could afford to chip in for flowers sent him flowers and thanked him for standing up for us.

[GingerSnaps]

12. No one harrassed Byrd

Either we sit back and do nothing or we all do what we can.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

13. So your analogy is as false as the notion that spamming the campaign

would be a help.


I'm totally for the idea of 'doing all we can' and 'getting the word out' -- talk to friends, neighbors, acquantances, coworkers, strangers, -- canvass, phone bank, register voters -- all those are good ideas.

Spamming the campaign with advice however, is a misdirection of effort.

[GingerSnaps]

14. No it's not spamming it's fighting to get our man elected

I am not misdirected and it's your opinion against my opinion.

At least I want to do something about what is happening instead of sitting back and bitching.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

20. In what way is bitching at the campaign going to help?

If someone is building a house, the way to help is not to tell him he isn't hammering hard enough, but to grab a hammer and pound nails.

[GingerSnaps]

21. It's not bitching

WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?

RE-READ MY MESSAGE AND WHEN YOU GET DONE RE-READ IT AGAIN BECAUSE I NEVER SAID TO BITCH AT KERRY. GROW UP!

9. There's always "Dropaganda" if you're interested

Check out the link in my sig line.

[GingerSnaps]

10. Yes, I am interested

We have to get our word out and we can't sit back.

The next two months are the most crucial time when our work will be needed the most.

Let's all get the word out any way we can.

[ClassWarrior]

15. Ohhh sure... let's all waste our time harassing OUR guys...

...when we could be phone banking, or door-to-door canvassing, or writing LTTEs... or other things that could REALLY help us get the word out.

Smart.

19. Oh that's a real tasteful expression - "you're blind."

I've been volunteering for the campaign for some time now and I can tell you that it's the smartest, tightest campaign I've seen in my quarter-decade of politics. Maybe you should get out of your pod and volunteer too, and then maybe YOU'D know what YOU'RE talking about.

[seabeyond]

16. yes yes yes yes

lol lol. said htis to another man with something he suggested moments ago, so funny

a repug told a friend, posted in another thread in this board, the democrats want it more. yes we do. damn straight. adn we are doing it for all the nation, all the world............including the stupid assholes buying bush's koolaide

they can thank us later

[seabeyond]

18. from another thread, i am going to do

and easy. wear a silver start. i am going to do with me, but especially in fun and twinkle with kids too. get a beautiful child that shines, and let them express love, and even the most unaware person can see. if only for a moment.

an honoring of medals given to our men for their sacrafice.

take away the taint the repugs have given to the sacrifice of soldiers

[goodhue]

22. rather than harass national campaign, why not simply GOTV
