One idea to make a difference we can do now!
We need to educate! We have to encourage the 527's to go run ads to change perceptions NOW. We can't wait for September 2006.

We need to educate people about health insurance, the truth about Bush's Iraq war, the environment, corporate crime, the dangers of black box voting, and on and on.

None of these things will be reported by the infotainment industry. We have to get through with ads. It doesn't have to all be expensive TV ads either. Billboards, newspapers, magazines and radio should be used too.

If we wait, our efforts will just be part of the din of the campaign and tuned out.

One of the greatest disapointments of the 2004 campaign is we spent over $500,000,000 and most of it was either an attack or a defense to an attack, and very little was spent educating people in what we stand for.

thats my 2 cents

1. what if we had an ongoing ad campaign on TV for the next four years?
it sure would be expensive, but they would educate?
Oh and with a link to a website with more facts for example

2. Along the same lines, we need to get across to the moderates
on both sides just what PNAC's agenda is, because most people I have talked to, even the ones on our side, have no idea what you're talking about if you bring this up. This needs to be hammered by everybody.
