Video: A Real Democrat Gives One of the Best, Most Kick-A** Political Speeches I've Ever Seen!
by lowkell
...I love, love, LOVE this speech. Right here, in less than six minutes, Virginia 6th District Democrat Andy Schmookler sums it all up, better than many better-funded and better-known Democratic candidates have ever done in their lives. Powerful, brilliant...just wow.
So, other than wishing that every Democratic candidate could speak like this and WOULD speak like this, I just hope (possibly against hope?) that this speech gets the attention it deserves. Watch it for yourself, and if you agree that it totally kicks a**, please spread it around, you know that whole "viral" thang? Also, see the "flip" for a rough transcript (I loved it so much I couldn't resist). Enjoy - and once you're done, please forward this around, as it nails it better than any speech by a Democratic candidate this cycle - at least one I've come across. Thanks.
P.S. If NOTHING else, this speech will get you fired up and ready to go - it definitely did for me.

(114 posts)A little bit of digital sweat equity will go a long way.
First, create a short URL.
Use exiting network of fb friends to promote. Ask them to pass along.
Tweet the hell out of it. Use multiple hashtags to get it picked up by different trackers.
Forward to MSNBC hosts/shows. Each and every one of them.
Send to all candidates - challenge DEMS to match it. Challenge GOP to defend it.
Post on local TV and news resources and challenge all viewers to take a POV.
