Issues for the fall campaign.. some are "losers"..some are "winners"
Advertisements [?]
Losers:

Waterboarding:

Unless you are paying very close attention to the news..(hard to do if you are shuttling between multiple jobs), many uninformed probably think it's a new water sport..like snowboarding

FISA:

WE know what it is, but I'm guessing that most people out there might think it's a new credit card, and probably would want to know how they apply for one..and what interest rates they offer


Taxes:

Everyday people always think they are paying too much.. The truth is that some are paying too LITTLE.. the difficulty is in telling a lot of people just how poor they really are, and making them believe it, and insist on legislation to RAISE taxes..


........................................

Winners: Bread & Butter/ Kitchen table issues


Health care reform

Securing Social Security

Rebuilding, repairing schools

Revamping INDUSTRY & good jobs

Seriously addressing voting issues & getting back to paper ballots everywhere..(counted by people..not machines)

Republican rule has shown us all that they are INCAPABLE of the bread & butter issues, and only make empty promises. They want to spend every penny they can beg, borrow or steal, on military expenditures...and secrecy.

Republicans promise us all a pony

and all we get is
