How DU'ers can oust Bush!

[gully]

We had an idea tonight in the GD C-Span thread.

We watched Bill Clintons amazing speech as he said if people only knew what the Bush admin is doing to them....He went on to give many 'talking points' to Dems and others about the human cost of the Bush tax cut etc. He also said Bush is well aware of what he's doing.

Anyhow...I thought, we have many DU-ers all over the US. Why can't we educate people in every state from now until election time.

Friends and I have spoken about this, but I wasnt sure how to make it happen. With all the brilliant minds here at DU, I know WE can make a real difference.

Here's the thought we came up with here...

1. It would be great if we could link/create an educational website for people to learn about the effect of Bush's decision's on ordinary people. Enter Molly Ivins new book, Bill Clintons talking points etc... The process could start with the talking points and anything else we feel relevant.

2. We could have a printable 'educational' flyer at said website for people to print from home and have people in every state of the country commit to distributing x amount of flyers per week. (We could do so at grocary stores, church's, the bar, where ever?

We have great connections here at DU. I imagine the ABB website would participate by having a flyer, and perhaps DU would have a printable flyer here? But I think it would be best to have a non-partisian site eventually as were trying to win swing votes more than anything?

Thoughts? Let's do it! WE can make a difference!!!!

PS I don't have the best 'way' with words, so I hope this is coherent. ;)

1. GREAT ideas!!

we MUST do something... it is our duty to our country... this is a great idea... i think the dean campaign alone, has proven just how successful the internet and grassroots organizing can be to help save democracy.

2. Thanks, please help...suggestions welcome.

I know nothing about website creation, but I can get started on talking points tomorrow. I'll list some, and welcome more.

Any web people out here willing to host a small site? WE could reference it on the flyers and update as needed?

Thanks guys!

3. Kick...

Is anyone still interested? Moveon.org is great, but a bit different then what we were trying to accomplish?
