8. Bayh is WRONG!! You must attack on their "strength"...

it is bullshit that "terror" is Bush's strength, that should be his greatest weakness...and that it isnt is what is hurting Kerry so much in the polls...

Stop ignoring NATIONAL SECURITY...stop it...Bush screwed that up worse than anything else...and if you continue to let people think that it is his strength, YOU WILL LOSE!!!!!!!

9. Guerilla marketers needed!

Create an issue that brings the media to us using viral and guerilla marketing techniques.

please help me get the word out:

most people have not read the 8/6/2001 PDB. I created a postcard size version.





Please print and distribute the image above. High res version for printing available below. Put them on car windows. Hand them out on street corners. We don't need TV buys to get some attention on this issue. We have to undermine Bush's perceived strength. We all are potential disseminators of printed media. We do not need a newspapers permission or lots of money for TV commercials. We need viral grass roots marketing. We need to create a buzz. If we create a buzz with massive distribution of printed ads we will get media coverage. If these start miraculously appearing and no one knows where they are coming from it will start to get media attention. We must mock Rice, Cheney and Ashcroft also. Bush incompetence led to poor choices for crucial posts.

Bush admin. INCOMPETENCE is key to undermining his strength.

4. Iraq, the economy, the Patriot Act

People don't want to hear about vietnam.

Talk about the future, where W's policies are gonna take us.

And get specific about what he'd change, how to get us out of these messes.

5. Change and Future

People cannot even remember their own past (Arnold) and do not want to remember. SO Vietnam, like all history, is already 'forgotten' by the collective.

I'd think the 'warm and fuzzy' RWR way of doing the campaigning would be to 'Talk about the future' in the MOST positive, optimistic fashion and NOT talk about 'how to get us out of these messes'.

Since the 'sheeple' love to be fed syrupy sweet garbage so as to avoid any 'bummer' thoughts about foreign and domestic everyday problems, this style of soft-peddling would wear well with the populace.

Oops, that how the Republicans are campaigning, again.

2000 all over again.
