Need Advice
I am going to a company sponsored event soon for the Republican gubernatorial candidate for IN, Mitch Daniels. I am only going for the free food and drinks. I am not donating anything as asked by the company.

My dilemna is, what do I say to him?

A. Can you balance a checkbook?
B. What was the worst part of working with W?
c. Our state is in financial trouble, can you show us how to quadruple our debt?
D. Brother can you spare a dime?
E. Fuck Bush!

All suggestions, serious or not, would be appreciated.

3. Stay home.
No good can come of this for you.

Never mix politics & work.

5. I tried that one
but am tied to the PAC. I have changed 3 coworkers minds so far so I am looking for more easy prey. It is amazing when you point out the hypocrisy and facts, and they go I didn't know that about Bush/ Cheney.

But that is just me.

6. make an announcement
Point to a random stranger in the crowd and announce that you don't think they signed the loyalty pledge. Demand to have them removed.

12. LOL
Good one. Maybe I will print up some of my own and ask people to sign them. Maybe something like I will vote my conscience, not my just blindly follow the republicans into the 18th century.

10. I would ask about electronic voting
Tell him you think that every vote should count and what will he/she do to ensure that. I would also ask about reapportionment and how whoever is Governor should try to make sure that the boundaries are fair. Throw in some lines about bi-partisanship and how important it is. My goal would be to let the person know that the Republican tricks are noticed and appalling to most voters.
