Edwards Supporters- 5 Minute Activism
Hi everyone, welcome to my rant. This poll was recently posted here on DU, so like a good Duer, I went to take a look. I can't be the only Edwards Supporter to notice there was someone missing from this mythical head to head match-up. It's missing one head. Take a look for yourselves.

We sent over 2000 e-mails and made more than 2000 phone calls to the media about the media black out of John Edwards. Now lets give surveyUSA a piece of our mind.

Here's my letter. As always make it your own, but please, stand up and shout!

Just finished reading your resent polls.
http://www.surveyusa.com/electionpolls.aspx

Can't help but notice, how there are 4 Republicans in the survey, and only 2 Democrats. Did you forget someone? Are you guys as biased as the corporate media?

John Edwards is polling at 11% in California. He placed second in Iowa, third in Nevada, and third in New Hampshire. Have you people somehow missed this? The numbers for Rudy are a joke, and he hasn't done anything in the primaries yet. Huckabee is hanging on by his teeth, but he's still there.

I'm sorry, but this is blatant manipulations of public perception, and as a voter, and citizen of the United States, I have a big problem with this poll.

I hope, in the future, you'll reconsider, and show the views of ALL Americans.

16. Nah, Rocky..
our fight has just begun and our cause is more than a commitment to JRE. We are for restoring a real Democracy and deconstructing what the Corporatists have done. We are for the common man, and alleviating poverty in this Country.

WE have only just begun........

I couldn't have contained my pure despise. My words would have pounced off the page in a righteous & nashing tongue-lashing, rapid pace and they would have felt the snarls and growls of each ravaged torturous lash. rrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggghhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!

Maybe its best that you wrote it. not me.
Good job.

27. And hey, why write letters, when you can call-
Hypotenuse Inc is the company that owns SurveyUSA. I wonder what would happen if we just picked up the phone and called them? I'm going to try.

28. These people don't like to answer the phone-
President of parent company is Jay Leve, and the fax number is 888 857 8850.

Happy faxing.

29. Not giving up on this-
From an interview with Jay Leve, President, SurveyUSA:

"Pollsters talk and write a lot about reducing "Total Survey Error," but most obsess over the mathematical sources of error. I focus more on the how the questions get written, who asks them, how the questions sound to the respondent and how the questions get answered."


How the questions are answered? Interesting....
