i was out today all day talking to just regular folk who don't spend a lot of time on the net....NO ONE WHO IS NOT "Hyper-connected" knows about this, but I tell you their EYES LIGHT UP when you tell them....
Here is my spiel:
Hey were you happy with the election results.
(If answer yes, walk away)
If answer NO, then
Did you know about the recount? No. Well, Cobb has called for a recount in Ohio. (EYES WIDE OPEN.) Ohio? Yep. And nader's calling for one in NH. Really? Uh huh. 6 congressmen have petitioned the GAO for an investigation into voting irregularities. (hope that's right, maybe it was three, i can't keep track anymore, don't matter, this is not one of the details we gotta sweat right now). And there's a people's petition circulating on the net, last I saw there were about 30,000 signatures on it. Everyone's writing their reps, gao, etc.
At this point, people begin to understand what is going on. They become filled with hope. They begin to thank you profusely. They kiss your feet, your hands, the ground you walk on. THANK YOU DU AND BEV HARRIS.
That's when you pull out the pre-prepared paper (just a tiny little thing about the size of a business card), with 3 URLS, one of which MUST be blackboxvoting.org, but the other two--hey pick your favorite (this we shall call the paper trail!). All you have to do is get people to go to ONE of these sites--before you know it, they're in the "parallel universe" --- but it's GOT TO GET ON THE STREET -- I challenge you all to get so many people riled up about this that my friggin attempt to debunk the NYT will be rendered superfluous. Please let me trash the file.....
You can get a lot more street hits if you have this conversation in a VERY LOUD VOICE at Starbucks, Kinkos, any public place . Speak *loudly so that others overhear, then leave the paper trail--just leave a stack of the little things, let curiosity kill the chimp.
Unless you are seriously engaged in one of the many important research or writing projects I suggest you leave your houses and your computers right now, get out there and talk to the people who are not on the Net. if you can't leave the house, then get on the phone. Get the people who are not watching this to check out the damn NET....get 'em googling
Think of it: if we get a critical mass of people on the Net, no one will have time to go to work MONDAY and we'll shut the whole damn country down.
I have always thought in terms of massive walkout.
But DO IT NOW TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE GET THE FUNDS IN....NO RECOUNT WITHOUT THE MONEY, I'm not even going into the "fraud" thing with folks, just get them on the net so they can see for themselves what is going on here....
