Time to do more than posting

[nadinbrzezinski]

I know I know we are screaing to the wondeful echo chamber but this is the time to do SOMETHING more than just posting

Here are some things YOU CAN DO right now.

Wear orange

Find local groups running demonstrations... they are a-happening but don't expect your invitation in the mail... won't happen, ok. You have to be a tad more proactive than that

Economic Activism

Write letters to the MSM, even if they don't publish them.

Make clear that you will NOT take it anymore

Oh and QUIT griping and saying, I FEEL SO HELPLESS

In the end you have to ask... what are you willing to do to restore the Republic? How far are you willing to go? Yes, when all is said and done, some of us may have to lay down our lives. Are you willing to go there?

This is not the time to just seat on your doofs and just gripe.

1. I'm trying, honest!

I can't help but remember for every poster who said they were leaving the country there were ten yelling "To hell with that! I'm fighting for my country!"
We'll see...that's why I titled my thread "Put up or shut up".
I've offered a painless yet effective means of fighting and I'm doing what I can to give it legs, but by myself or even with every non-freeper registered here it's pissin' in the wind without outside help.
Maybe we'll see who's in a fighting mood.

2. Spend $10 at Kinkos and $11 at Staples and YOU CAN DO THIS

Guerilla marketing uses unconventional means of distributing a message.

Viral marketing describes any strategy that encourages individuals to pass on a marketing message to others, creating the potential for exponential growth in the message's exposure and influence. Viral marketing often comes about because of "buzz".

Before the election I was using guerilla marketing in my GOTV street canvassing. Some DUers did join me but it was not nearly enough to create media buzz. People of course were phone banking, canvassing and writing LTTES, all of which were very important before the election. Now that we have time on our hands and an army of hopefully willing participants, IMHO a brilliant way to take the next step and get the word out to those who do not frequent lefty web sites is:

What we can do right now is use poor man's advertising and free delivery systems, ie. DUers to spread the immediate message, that the election was fraudulent.

Right NOW we at DU CAN just like the mean girls in highschool start a whisper campaign against the chimp's reputation. How you ask? By using guerilla and viral marketing techniques. Do this:

download the file below and go to Kinkos and make copies.

BUSH CHEATED is color but can be printed and
photocopied B&W to save $$$. They print 2 to a sheet, so you will have to cut them.



download this and other files here:

Use the BUSH CHEATED to flyer cars or even BETTER...

Buy a can of 3M Super 77 spray adhesive from staples and glue the BUSH CHEATED graphic to metal utility poles, bus stop shelters, advertising benchs, newspaper racks etc. let your inner anarchist express itself. If enough people do this then the masses will become aware AND just like highschool Bush's reputation will be ruined.


This is something we can do RIGHT NOW. No dreaming just ACTION. I've started. I challenge everyone on DU to commit to disseminating at least 10 per day.

I had hoped to plaster Columbus at the rally Dec. 4 with both BUSH CHEATED & Blackwell RECUSE, but the wind was so bad it would have been impossible. I did however do some bus stop shelters and utility poles near campus in Cincinnati Friday and none of my handiwork has been peeled off.

3. It would be great if we could hold a March on Ohio like the 1965

Civil Rights March that resulted in the signing of the Voters Act.

What do you think?

4. This is how I like to do it, too.

Guerilla is the way to go.

And this is the important part:

10 per day -- it's easy.
