Some Thanksgiving Help from the Rockridge Institute (a recent email)

How to Respond to Conservatives

We at the Rockridge Institute wish all of our friends a happy Thanksgiving holiday. To help you through those sometimes difficult family conversations, we're posting for download a chapter from George Lakoff's recent book, Don't Think of an Elephant!: Know Your Values and Frame the Debate. See our website for Chapter 10, "How to Respond to Conservatives" (http://www.rockridgeinstitute.org/research/lakoff/howto... ) and try out those tips and approaches with family members and guests you'd like to enlighten.

Then, please send us a post-Thanksgiving email ([e-mail] ) and let us know how it went, and share any wisdom you may have discovered for communicating with conservatives. We'll compile and publish the best ones on our web site (with your permission, of course).
