So what can we do to help Edwards?

[BlackVelvet04]

What can we do besides give money? Is there anything else to help him in the primaries?

[Bicoastal]

1. You could always try kidnapping Clinton and Obama...

...but I don't think it would have the desired effect...

[Breeze54]

2. Call a campaign office and hold up signs at rallies!

Post signs in your windows, lawn etc.

Call the nearest campaign office!

Sign up as a volunteer!

[demobabe]

3. Symbolman wants to follow him around with a camera

That is, if he can get enough support to do so.

[Blue-Jay]

4. You could vote for him, I suppose.

5. send letters to the lamestream media about their lack of coverage:

Mine (sent to MSNBC, and CBS thus far):

I and many of my friends feel that you are deliberately excluding
mention of the strength and worth of John Edwards as a Presidential
candidate - in order to assure continued corporate control of the White
House and over control over the national conversation before the 2008
elections.

Mr. Edwards represents the hopes and feelings of more people than you
choose to acknowledge, and we would very much appreciate it if you
would cover his message and successes with at least the same zeal as
you display toward Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama.

In case you were not aware, it was John Edwards, not Hillary Clinton,
who came in second in the first Presidential Primary/Caucus in Iowa. Yet, the
mainstream media consistently only spoke of Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama
as if Mr. Edwards was never even present at those caususes. This is
MOST troubling and puzzling. And when you do give Mr. Edwards any
coverage, it seems consistently negative.

We are not convinced by your refusal to accord him fair exposure that
his chances of becoming the nominee are less than those of the other
candidates. In fact your deliberate ignorance of him tells us the
opposite - that you fear the support Mr. Edwards might get if he had
wider positive exposure and you are endeavoring to avoid that - lest
he become the nominee. In fact, we feel that if you and the other
major networks simply provide him the same coverage you've lavished on
his rivals, Americans would rush to support him.

Mr. Obama's vacuous (though dreamy) platitudes and Mrs. Clinton's car
sales routine are nothing if not familiar. They serve only to alienate
and mislead citizens whose real lives, issues, and purchasing power -
and in fact whose entire nation - depends upon honest, compassionate
leadership that is not beholden to corporate influence.

Please do not abandon this country and do a disservice to its voters
and your viewers for the bland, disheartening,
corporate-money-sponsored status-quo future promised by the most
moneyed candidates, simply because the corporations who own your
networks fear the change he may bring about.

We all know who owns the media. We all know whose influence John
Edwards is vowing to fight should he become the nominee. We can do the
math. Your deliberate avoidance of Mr. Edwards as a viable candidate
tells us that he is right and righteous in his cause.

The American people deserve to know of and see him
and to hear of him as much as the other candidates, so they can make
an INFORMED rather than a misinformed decision about the best person
to lead this country (no matter who is best to protect corporate
bottom-lines - because those are likely two very different things).

Thank you.

17. Oops, sorry

7. Here you go...something else...

...http://www.johnedwards.com/action/join/campaign-short/

You can sign up to call people from your home in the upcoming primary states. (I have Vonage so LD doesn't cost me extra). Or, lots of other things...see the site.

I'm also setting up (as soon as I get paid again) a monthly regular donation to his campaign. ANYONE can do this. Even if it's five bucks/month, or 10, or 20 or whatever.

[symbolman]

8. I'm headed there to film everything and spam the web

Its a Takebackthemedia project, gonna try to call Randi tomorrow and drum up funding, ain't gonna be cheap, but I'll stretch the money and get the word out around the MSM :)

Waiting for an Admin nod to try for a funding thread when I hear..

Stay tuned!

[Breeze54]

22. Well; everything does shut down at night!

Even the rallies! ;)

[noto]

9. You can send money to Obama

Because if you watched the debate it kinda obvious who the VP pick will be.

[Blue-Jay]

10. That's some saavy political commentary right there.

[noto]

12. It was a big sarcastic I agree

But obvious.

[Blue-Jay]

14. a big sarcastic poop.

[noto]

21. Awww, but soon you will have to accept it

Because unless he picks Gore it is the only choice (as Hillary would be suicide), and Edwards isn't going anywhere after NH, whether he stays in or not.

[Blue-Jay]

25. You're new to this, aren't you?

Trolling, I mean.

[noto]

26. Im no troll

I was here years ago with 1000's of posts but left when the board was overrun with ummmm 'progressives' that like to flame people personally rather than responding to political opinions. Sound familiar?

[Blue-Jay]

27. OK. So post an opinion.

Because your stupid little "poor me, I thought you people were supposed to be tolerant wah wah wah" whining is getting old.

Let's see an opinion, skippy.

[noto]

28. What's getting old

Is your personal attacks.

I have posted messages here tonight on a variety of issues, which you might not agree with, but which are opinions, including the following:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2614953&mesg_id=2615182

Notice my posts don't personally attack but provide an opinion, open for discourse.

Why not give it a try? I am happy to defend my positions, even though they seem to elicit only personal attacks from individuals of your caliber.

[Blue-Jay]

29. Let's back up a bit....

You said that you were on DU before. What was your username? Did you forget your password? Were you previously banned? Why are you posting under a new name instead of your previous one?

[Blue-Jay]

30. Hello?

Whoops!

:rofl:

[silverojo]

16. Bombard the media with demands to quit ignoring him

They're the ones stifling his chances by making this "Clinton vs. Obama". :mad:

[book_worm]

20. move to NH tomorrow and vote Tuesday in the primary?

[begin_within]

24. You can make calls to New Hampshire voters. See:
