Seven Ways to Win

[Dr Fate]

This post is from "Itzamiracal" a fantasitic new DUer who wanted this to have it's own thread. I happen to like it very much.


1. Develop small "Think Tanks" among your friends
and neighbors and come up with concrete ideas and buzzwords
to use for the Democratic Agenda. Share those ideas
continuously with the Party Headquarters. It is apparent that
they need the help.

2. Write at least one letter a week (daily would be even
better) to newspapers and especially to "friendly"
columnists expressing your concerns and topics that you would
like to seem them cover in future columns.

3. Refute publicly the continued harangues of personalities
such as Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Hannity, etc.

4. Know the background and agenda of the Party leaders: I
thought McAuliffe and Beth Cahill and Joe Lockhart and their
ilk had the backbones of shrimp.

5. Communicate with each other as much as possible to share
ideas and ideologies so that we are on the same playing field
as much as possible or so that we can each know what is
important to the other.

6. Openly and publicly DEFINE what the Republicans mean by
such terms as "Family Values" and "Moral
Values." Come up with terms that define Democratic
Values", i.e. "Human Values."

7. Introduce yourself to your local City Councilpersons and
Democratic Leaders and let them know that you are interested
in politics at a grass roots level. Find out how certain
jobs, as election supervisors are doled out.

...for posting this thread. Ihope we get a lot more ideas on how we can come up with a winning strategy. We have depended on too few people at the top to win these elections FOR us instead of being totally involved in the process. I know that people have to work and that they have lives other than this, but just five minutes a day doing some emailing or phoning can mean all the difference in the world! I want to create a better, forward looking world for the generations to come, not one bogged down in the Middle Ages. I hope that others feel the same way.
