How do we OVERCOME this?!?!...............
All the Hand Wringing is due to Media NOT delivering JFK's message. He is in fact responding to the attack's although perhap's not as stridently and/or negatively as some would like. However the "filter" doesn't give his message the play it deserves.

We all know this therefore the question is: How do we overcome this????!!!!

We must be clever, unique, and ever vigilant to redress the media manipulation. We should circumvent the shill's and utilize other means of mass broadcast of the truth including obviously the internet. But billboards, bumper sticker's, yard sign's, public grafitti, t-shirt's etc. should be pervasive!!!

Say it loud and clear America: We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Don't forget letters to the editor in as many papers and magazines as
you can.

8. And, it's not expensive to take out a display ad or classifieds
in local paper. If you don't think your letter will get printed, you can STILL put a flip flop or two salted in the classifieds or take out an inexpensive ad

2. My son was convinced to vote for Kerry by his buddies at work.
He was strongly against Gore in 2000, and said he was going to take his guns away. BTW, he hardly ever even takes his guns out of storage; once in a while during hunting season is it. I taked to him last night, and he hates Bush! Said he's nothing but a damn lier and doesn't deserve to be President. His buddies at work showed him the proof that the SBVFT were lying and that Shrub is behind that whole thing! He's also agrued with other people explaining how much of a lie it is to say Teresa runs Heinz Co. and supports outsourcing. He said all the lies have him really pissed off, and that no one in the media is reporting that they are all lies.

It seems to me this is the best way any of us can fight the lack of media coverage. People tend to believe someone they know much more than some ad on TV.

3. How do we overcome...
... all those damn apostrophes where they don't belong? I mean, c'mon!! Perhap's? This is getting ridiculous!

John, don't EVER use an apostrophe again EVER for ANYTHING and you'll have a better chance of getting it right.

To answer your question - billboards, bumper stickers, yard signs, t-shirts! I got mine!

6. We have to make news - not let news make us.
I have a couple of suggestions in another thread that is rapidly disappearing. No one has to agree with them but they would work.

11. What are your ideas?

Why don't you repost them in this thread? We need to keep seeing positives ways to get Kerry elected.

It is so sad when beautiful ideas get lost when the threads disappear.
It's almost as if we should have a way to save a gem from going in the archives.

9. Surround the HQs, studios and trucks
of the treasonous media with signs, torches and pitchforks. Let them hear from the People, in no uncertain terms, that THIS is NOT bidness as usual.
