Reply #18: Humor can go a long way [View All]

...in getting the message out.

Despite the consumerism of this country where so many people have digital cameras, I bet a tabling campaign that allowed people to add their pictures to sorryeverybody would be a hit. Most have to just be put on the spot by making it effortless.

What I mean is you get an ubergeek with a nice digital camera that can store mounds of pictures, and a few other distingushed-but-trendy-looking people, a folding table with a permit to park it someplace (easy for student organizations since they do this all the time), some magic markers and blank paper, and proceed to take people's pictures and upload them to sorryeverybody for them.

Almost everyone likes the ceremony surrounding getting their picture taken, and that live activity will draw more attention to your table than you could ever get just sitting there with signs and banners. People in front of your table having fun... there could NOT be better publicity.

While doing so, hand out literature about Ohio vote suppression (our most poignant issue with direct video evidence) and MSM media ignorance of the issue, etc. Hopefully our "webmaster" crew have come up with a few zinger leaflets.

Finally be prepared with a quick and witty retort for the inevitable crank mailing the local paper calling you hippies.
