To do tomorrow for those who like to drive around
I drove around Sat. and Sun. my car plastered with Kerry yard signs, stickers and white shoe polish voting messages on my car windows, playing Mosh loudly as I drove slowly, getting thumbs ups, nods, peace signs, honks and waves from our African American democratic base voters and the white Kerry supporters. It was an incredible we're all part of something big type of morale booster.

You can download the mp3 here:

http://www.stimulate-ltd.com/audio/singles/eminem-mosh-stim.mp3

I used CDex to convert the mp3 to a WAV and then burned CDS. I gave away 58 copies. I'm also wearing my black hoodie with VOTE in duct tape on the back.

All the people up top, on the side and the middle
Come together, let's all form this swamp just a little
Just let it gradually build, from the front to the back
All you can see is a sea of people, some white and some black
No matter what color, all that matters we're gathered together
To celebrate for the same cause, no matter the weather
If it rains, let it rain
Yeah, the wetter the better
They ain’t gon’ stop us - they can't
We're stronger now, more then ever
They tell us "No", we say "Yeah"
They tell us "Stop", we say "Go"
Rebel with a rebel yell
Raise hell - we gon’ let em know
Stomp, push, shove, mush..
Fuck Bush
Until they bring our troops home, c'mon, just..


Come along, follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength
Come with me, and I wont steer you wrong
Put your faith in your trust, as I guide us through the fog
To the light at the end of the tunnel we gon’ fight
We gon’ charge, we gon’ stomp
We gon' march through the swamp
We gon' mosh through the marsh
Take us right through the doors
Come on..



Imagine it pourin’, it's rainin’ down on us
Moshpits outside the oval office
Someone’s tryin to tell us something
Maybe this is God just sayin' we're responsible
For this monster - this coward that we have empowered
This is Bin Laden
Look at his head noddin’
How could we allow something like this without pumpin' our fists
Now, this is our final hour
Let me be the voice, and your strength and your choice
Let me simplify the rhyme just to amplify the noise
Try to amplify it, times it, and multiply it by sixteen million
People are equal at this high pitch
Maybe we can reach al CIAda through my speech
Let the president answer our high anarchy
Strap him with a AK-47, let him go fight his own war
Let him impress daddy that way
No more blood for oil, we got our own battles to fight on our own soil
No more psychological warfare to trick us to thinking that we ain’t loyal
If we don’t serve our own country, we’re patronizing our hero
Look in his eyes, its all lies
The stars and stripes, have been swiped
Washed out and wiped and replaced with his own face
Mosh now or die
If I get sniped tonight, you’ll know why
‘Cuz I told you to fight


Come along, follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength
Come with me, and I wont steer you wrong
Put your faith in your trust, as I guide us through the fog
To the light at the end of the tunnel we gon' fight
We gon' charge, we gon' stomp
We gon' march through the swamp
We gon' mosh through the marsh
Take us right through the doors
Come on


Eminem: And as we proceed to mosh through this desert storm.. in these closing statements, if they should argue, let us beg to differ.. as we set aside our differences, and assemble our own army to disarm this weapon of mass destruction that we call our president for the present.. and mosh for the future of our next generation.. to speak and be heard.. Mr President.. Mr Senator..

1. My daughter called from Minneapolis tonight
and said there were people on almost all street corners with Kerry signs. Everyone was excited---car horns beeping, people waving, etc.. She was really pumped up!

3. I did it again tonight after work, even though it got dark early
Edited on Mon Nov-01-04 09:34 PM by rosebud57
and I was worried it would be harder to see me, but I caught the eye of lots of people in other cars and on the side of the road and everyone was smiling and waving. The kids that recognize "Mosh" were really into it.

Nov. 2 is the perfect day to drive around in democratic precincts, playing "Mosh" waving, smiling, entertaining and cajoling.

The song is so militantly empowering it's a rush knowing that it messes with the minds of the freepers. Especially when they witness the waving, honking, nods and peace signs from the army of Kerry voters.

4. That sounds more fun than GOTV.
Edited on Mon Nov-01-04 09:38 PM by Ladyhawk
I got hanged up on twice tonight...ungh. One lady said she "wasn't interested." I don't know if she thought I was going to poll her, or if she is voting Shrub. She was listed NP. Those are the ones I get anxious calling. The Dems are all, "Yeah, we already voted absentee" or "We'll be there...don't worry." Some even want to talk about how much they detest the smirking chimp. Humanity is...diverse, no?

I should get masking tape, put MOSH on the front of my hoody and VOTE on the back. :)

5. Drive around in African American precincts to gently remind our
newly registered young voters who are out and about that:

All you can see is a sea of people, some white and some black
Don't matter what color, all that matters is we gathered together
To celebrate for the same cause, no matter the weather
If it rains let it rain, yea the wetter the better
They ain't gonna stop us, they can't, we're stronger now more then ever,
They tell us no we say yea, they tell us stop we say go,
Rebel with a rebel yell, raise hell we gonna let em know
Stomp, push up, mush, fuck Bush

You can hand out these flyers to the young ones, they love it.

Go to http://somnamblst.tripod.com to download high resolution TIF or PDF files to print and distribute in the inner city (not the suburbs). Hand them out and or attach them to utility poles, bus stops, phone booths, etc. Guerilla marketers needed to create MAXIMUM BUZZ!
