109. I concur with many of your points

I take issue with a one-size-fits-all strategy.

I do think it would be very helpful if various organizations/activists got busy with some information campaigns.

For instance, the pot legalization thing...our costly prison for profit situation is a huge part of that and needs to be turned into a cause that draws much attention. Scientific information on pot, the ways it can help some as well as shatter some of the myths many have bought into for a long time.

Such efforts would dovetail nicely with candidates talking about the wastefulness of the "War on drugs", etc.

I really think a broad effort of getting info out there on a lot of causes to counter the constant propaganda is what is needed to help make possible a way for such candidates to succeed.

I also think this is an excellent way to really tie together the activities of internet and boots-on-the-ground folks. Between us I really think we could all tag-team this effort and effectively counter the corporatist forces we are up against.
