10. New idea...so simple...
On each issue (estate tax, vet benefits, etc), we could have a web-page w/ submitted facts and sources. (I could host it on my currently unused home page provided to me from my isp). We could keep these "fact sheet" pages current and "ready to print" at any time that someone around the country has one of these town-hall type meetings. click, print, kinko's, meeting. simple.

Also, I was told last night that the troops in iraq and afghanistan are having to purchase their own foot-powder and socks at greatly marked up prices. Does anyone have a source on this?

This is my idea on that issue:

A single 8-1/2 * 11 page
Along the top: a picture of a pair of socks and a can of desinex
below the pictures: Cost in USA: $$$ $$$
Cost in Iraq: $$$$$$ $$$$$$
below that: "Q: Who is gouging our troops? A: logo of Brown&Root.
below that: "Q: What U.S. corp. is Brown&Root a subsidiary of? A: logo of haliburton.
below that: "Q:What ceo of haliburton went on to become vp of usa? A: picture of cheney
below that (bold print): FOLLOW THE MONEY!
