2. We should all send this article to everyone in the media to get the story out that the

4. Fine. Get a PR firm to organize the protestors

and pour lotsa money into this effort. Just like the repubs are.

7. The Democratic Party, Move-On, organized labor can't do it?

They had no problem during the election campaign.

They raised hundeds of millions of dollars, had thousands of full time organizers and reached tens of millions of people.

Of course, that was an election. The Democratic Party is opposed to organizing mass demonstrations on any issue, any issue at all and always has been!

It will be the Republican Party and their front groups that organizes public protests against health care reform this August and later.

The Democratic Party will probably be missing in action once again.

8. It's started already

FUX news Sunday nite had a clip from a town hall in Philadelphia with Arlen Specter and Kathleen Sibelius = the only thing the clip showed was some crazy broad screaming that "Medicare is broke, Medicaid is broke, Cash for Clunkers is broke and the federal government can't run anything" or some such bull shit. When Specter tried to respond he was met with a set of Boos from what seemed to be different parts of the audience, just like the script calls for. The sad part is that as a sound bite or photo clip is is VERY effective to a viewer who doesn't know the strategy behind it.

We really REALLY need to counter this fast!!!
