What about passing flyers for all the dem candidates at a public event
Edited on Sun Aug-03-03 11:13 AM by sinookas
I like a lot of different things about Kerry, Dean, Kucinich, Graham, Edwards. There's even a few things about Gephardt and Sharpton that I like. I noticed a poster in another thread (Gumbo_Yaya, I think) was passing out flyers for one candidate at a food festival or something.
And Gumbo was getting great responses from people who were saying, hell, they would vote for ANYONE over Junior.

Why couldn't we let people see that we have a lot of great candidates, all of them a much better alternatives to the corruption and duplicity of BushCo ? We could say, hey, here are some great men willing to take on the task of getting our country back on course again ! Look 'em over, pick a favorite, but then zing them with something like this---> "I used to vote Republican quite often, now I never will again because all these candidates would be far better than the joblessness, deficits, bad economy , and lack of respect from around the world that Bush has brought us."
(Even if you never have voted puke, of course)

It would give us a chance to talk to people, that's for sure.

1. at our event where we passed out Kerry cards last night
there were some Dean folks who didn't want the cards. I said that's fine, any Dem. but Bush. And I hope the Dean folks will do the same.

But I'm solidly behind my candidate and my job is to build some name recognition for him down south.

One disdainful person said he was supporting Lieberman. So, I jokingly said, "Oh, so you're a conservative?" expecting him to take offense, but he said "Yes." Interesting...

Select the most damaging parts of this site:

http://www.wage-slave.org/scorecard.html

3. Permission
I hereby grant permission for people to use portions of the George W. Bush Scorecard of Evil for the purpose described by Icordero: printed anti-Bush flyers to be displayed and handed out at public events, so long as the source is named on the flyer, including the URL http://www.wage-slave.org/scorecard.html.

Go get 'em!

5. I think this is a wonderful action idea for those who aren't sure who
they want yet . I have picked my candidate so I have done
this for him ; but anyone who wants to do something to
help but hasn't picked one yet this would be great for them
IMHO
