If you are doing innercity canvassing consider using poor man's advertising ie. flyers on utility poles in inner city neighborhoods. I have been using the flyer below for 2 days now and bystanders are all asking for personal copies because they love it so much. It's rude but true. I use 3M spray adhesive from Staples to attach it to metal utility poles at bus stops and high foot traffic street corners.

Go to http://somnamblst.tripod.com to download the high res flyer files to print, photocopy and distribute.

Guerilla marketers needed to create MAXIMUM BUZZ!



paired with the flyer below for maximum effect.

4. any city in a swing state with a significant hip hop demo can benefit
A women with three kids waiting for the bus took a copy of GWB is a PWB to make copies at her church.

It may be rude but it is true.

We must belittle the terra president.

5. Sexist Lyrics
Punk ass bitch? Is this site frequented entirely by men or just people who are clueless? I am no fan of Bush, but maybe I am just too much feminist for this crap.

6. Yes, but
Edited on Mon Oct-18-04 07:18 PM by ZombieNixon
for inner city canvassing, buying into rap style works well. In my view, rap is often quite sexist (I'm a man, BTW), but it is a very good way to get a message across. I think we'll all have to be willing to make some compromises in order to de-select Bush.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

And no, I'd wager that this site is about half women.

8. punk ass bitch is a man who is a wimp, even worse a man that
has been punked by another man, as John Kerry did in the debates.

Bush has also been punked by N. Korea and Iran.

Not one person I have used the GWB is a PAB memme with has been offended, male or female. Because they know it's true and it describes him to a T.

I don't expect everyone to get it. My canvassing partner who I took to a crack selling street in SW Ohio asked me how I knew how to talk to the people we were canvassing. I've been around and I just do.

If we do not put this puny pathetic creature down we will lose. If you want to GOTV in the democratically likely voting urban neighborhoods GWB is a PAB is a winner.

10. Here comes another bitch fight
We have been through many. Why not one more? It's appropriate. He is targeting a certain audience. It's crude, but appropriate.

12. Welcome to DU, sunnybrook...
don't let it get you down... there's sexiam everywhere. There are plenty of feminists here who would agree with you. Though I think that "punk ass bitch" is the least of what you'll see. Better here by far than anywhere else.

13. That's just "creative license."
It's quite common in rap.

11. Good Anti-Bush Song!
I've been sending the following letter to swing state newspapers, check it out:

A President must be straight with the American people, especially on matters of national security. As the election draws near, it has become clear that President Bush was dishonest with the American people on one of the key and most frightening rationales for the war in Iraq -- namely that Iraq was close to developing nuclear weapons.

The New York Times recently endorsed John Kerry. A principal reason for the endorsement was the Bush Administration’s lack of candor on Iraqi nuclear weapons. Specifically, the Bush case on nuclear weapons was based on claims that Iraq had sought to purchase nuclear materials from Niger and that Iraq had purchased aluminum tubes for processing uranium. The Times states that the Niger claim was “the product of rumor and forgery.” As to the aluminum tubes, the Times states that this rationale was “concocted by one low-level analyst and had been thoroughly debunked by administration investigators and international vetting.”

It is now clear that the Administration knew or should have known that its case for immanent Iraqi development of nuclear weapons was, dare I say it, constructed of lies. Isn’t lying and over hyping the need for a war among the most grave betrayals of a people by their leader. I believe such dishonesty makes George Bush unfit for command. Vote for John Kerry on November 2. For more see, http://www.hoppervideo.net

14. Keep it short and simple
Edited on Mon Oct-18-04 09:21 PM by rosebud57
We want to educate the underinformed in the quickest amount of time in the media that is most likely to be retained. In the form of a witty, mocking rhyme. If you want to increase voter turn out among a likely democratic demographic that historically has low voter turn out we must think outside the box. I'm using this flyer and it kills. Everyone I show it to loves it. It is rude but true. And the already foul mouthed youth who hang on the street love it. We got them registered, now we need to close the deal.
