or at least a 527. Seems like it's almost down the memory hole for good.

1. A talented PhotoShopper can make their own
We the people can create an issue that brings the media to us using viral and guerilla marketing techniques. Guerilla marketing means we disseminate our message using non-traditional delivery systems. Viral marketing means that the message creates buzz and it propagates exponentially. The computer ushered in the age of print and web based media accessibility to the masses. We are paying a lot of attention to online media and ignoring the most far reaching: PRINT media.
An example of an effective print piece highlighting Bush's failure and most importantly MOCKING him in the process:


high resolution version for printing here:

Put them on car windshields. Hand them out on street corners. Drop them on driveways in the suburbs where the frightened inhabitants are sure to contact the authorities.

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 all have access to printers, photocopiers and paper. Many of us are very talented users of PhotoShop or Freehand. We all can create print ads like the one above. If we the people can create a buzz with massive distribution of printed ads we will get media coverage. The possibilities are endless regarding this type of grass roots guerilla marketing. Kerry is our product, Bush is the product we must crush.

The Bush administration's complete INCOMPETENCE is key to undermining his strength.

8. We should be using spamming techniques
Guerilla marketing uses unconventional distribution to disseminate a message to unwilling recipients

We need professional spammers to help us with this

10. You're right
I don't understand why it's been this difficult to get a few TRUTHFUL ads (they may be considered negative) that exposes Bush's flip flops and failed promises.

Move On has done a decent job but I still think Bush's 4 years should have provided a treasure trove of misstatements, lies, and flip flops.

The Flight Suit, mission accomplished thing being at the top.
