Our Obsession With the Polls - Time To Chill Out?

Instead of obsessing about the various polls, don't you think our efforts and energy would be better spent trying to deliver the Kerry-Edwards message to the voters?

If we are willing to make the effort, I can see only one way to try to circumvent the fascists news media. Writing letters, it has been criticized but I don't know of any better way to get the word to the voters.

Obviously, we are not going to change FOX news and others and certainly not in the short-term, but there is a way around them.

If anyone has a better method to accomplish this invaluable objective, please enlighten the team.

1. Pay no mind

Polls are a waste of time and energy.

You should not be happy over polls showing Kerry ahead or depressed by those showing him behind.

There's one poll that matters and that one is more than two months away.

2. Writing letters to the editor

Go to http://www.rapidresponsenetwork.org/ and click on your state. Sign up, and you'll get a daily email of reporters to correct, facts that weren't, the offensive news organization's address, and all that sort of stuff. Today my letter is in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
