This is election is not against Republicans but
AGAINST CORPORATE-RUN MEDIA.
It is not that republicans are liars & will say anything to win... but it's the fact that media whores will allow them to get away with it.. and often in cases repeat those very lies.

I'm becoming more & more convinced that we cannot win this election without bringing to light the corruption that has infested these media conglomerates.

I'm distraught watching the sundays shows, and flipping thru all of them finding that the media has finally pulled out all guns & focused on bringing down John Kerry.

I don't know if it would happen, but I wouldn't hesitate to march on washington or new york against corporate control of the media. I think it is inevitable that people must wake up & see this huge problem. It is now at the tipping point where cable news is able to elect & select political leaders. It's Fucking scary.

1. And right now the best ways to fight it are to: (1) write letters to...
...the press, (2) call in to the call-in shows, and (3) go to your local Dem HQ and get on the phones, and to canvass your neighborhoods (to circumvent the press by talking to people directly).

6. Bumperstickers are worth a lot in advertising
People are sheep, they will vote for whoever they think the herd is following. The more anti-bush stickers out there, the better.

3. Our printers must be the media!
It is the only short term solution. It is truly grassroots.

see http://somnmablst.tripod.com for examples of what can be communicated using flyers. At 7 cents a copy from Kinkos the potentail is huge.

Also I need DUer research and copy help so I can crank these out faster. Working on intro copy for 8/6/01 PDB. Needs dots connected for people who don't connect inless told.

4. I agree totally with your assessment of the media
However, in my opinion, it's a HUGE problem that Republicans lie. Especially the ones who proclaim they are Christians, thump the Bible and then lie through their teeth. And these despicable liars are in charge of our country and thus our lives. GIGANTIC problem as I see it! That is why...

BUSH AND ALL HIS REPUBLICAN CRONIES MUST GO!!!
