SPAM Email... How much can it help?
I am starting an email campaign to wake up people on Bush's record. The subject line will be "George Bush-The Last Four Years", or something like that. I am going to use fancy SPAM tricks to get this email to as many people as possible.

The email will outline Bush's record on all issues, including terrorism, 9-11, the economy, healthcare, education, the environment, and other issues.

This email will not promote John Kerry. It will only focus on Bush's record. Each point will fall under a category, and will be very short and precise. Also, each comment has to be factual. I won't have anything like "Bush Lied" or "Bush knew about 9-11". I want these points to be indisputable.

The last line will be something like "This is George Bush's record as President. If you DON'T think he is the best choice this time around then please vote for someone else.".

I will ask for help after I get an initial list together.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

1. BAD IDEA!!!!
You'll only turn off people to Kerry.

Spam works against products. If you want to do some good, try spamming people with pro-Bush crap. They might get pissed enough to vote Kerry.

2. OTOH, people love jokes
I don't do spam, but if I did, I'd send links to video clips like the Sovereignty or Peance/Freance to people, and maybe tuck in one that shows a flip flop on 911/Iraq.

4. I would advise against it.
I don't know one person who likes getting SPAM. It turns people off big time. Most people, including me, delete without reading.
