I see so many threads suggesting great ad ideas for the Kerry campaign.
The campaign has its own issues to get out. It has its own ads. Put out your own great ideas on your own. Make a tee-shirt. Post on not-for-Democrats-only message boards. Email your family, friends, and list serves. Write your local newspaper. Print a flyer to tack up in the lunch room. Call into radio shows. Your great campaign ad ideas should not go to waste. This kind of grassroots effort will make a difference.
For every post on this board, post 10 times on nonpartisan message boards with undecided voters posting and lurking.
For example, like everyone else, I would like to see an ad where Kerry says:
The Republicans have suggested that my views of the war in Iraq have shifted over time so I’d like to tell you about my policies which haven’t changed since day one. I believe the president, any president, should have the authority to deal with Iraq. I voted to give him that authority and I’d vote the same way today if the vote came up again. I believe the president made a poor use of the authority we gave him. I would have used that authority differently. I would have let the inspectors finish their job first, I would have brought Canada and our other traditional NATO allies on board to share the troop and financial burden, and I would not have gone in without a plan to stabilize and withdraw from Iraq after the war. I voted to fund the war with a roll back of the tax cuts only for people making $300,000 or more. No president has ever taken the country to war and also made drastic cuts in taxes for the wealthy at the same time. If we are asking our sons and daughters to put their lives on the line, we can ask the wealthy to forgo a part of their tax cuts on the income over $300,000. But I voted against the president’s plan to pay for the war on a credit card our children will have to pay off. Iraq is a mess. I didn’t make the mess, but I’m reporting for clean up duty.
I have posted this type of message (but in third person of course) everywhere I can, I have emailed it to everyone I know, I have written my newspaper, I've called radio talk shows. Get your own message out!
