How do we continue to spread this info to everyone who is unaware

How do we continue to spread this info to everyone who is unaware of this issue?

If the MSM is not going to do its job, and BullshCo is afraid of widespread exposure (hence the quiet lack of response to avoid fanning the flames) to the general populace, how do we inform people?

I have been trying to spread the information in as many formats and forums as I can, yet it's so hard to ignite the spark of action in people. How do we get our message out and fast?

Radio? TV? Local papers? letters to the editor? All of the above?

I am a photo editor for a major website, yet have been unable to squeeze something in about this. I want to slip a pic of the proceedings into our weekly popular gallery, but there are not many to choose from, and I do not have final say in programming.

Any ideas? how do we become the media - not only in gathering info, but in dissemination to the masses in a way that is palatable and understandable across party lines?

1. MSM will be covering it now n/t

[unpossibles]

2. will they?

will it be enough and timely enough?

Sorry if I am skeptical; I am trying to stay upbeat about all of this.

I'm still considering re-enacting the Tea Party in the reflecting pool. It is a symbol everyone knows (or should anyway) and is valid for the statement as well - not only for the echo of 'no taxation without representation' but also to hammer home the idea that this is about our Freedom and Democracy.

Of course, I would probably end up in Gitmo for bio-terrism or something stupid. never mind.

5. Flyer cars and utility poles in urban areas

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 files below and go to Kinkos and make copies.

high res files at http://somnamblst.tripod.com

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:

http://somnamblst.tripod.com /

Use the BUSH CHEATED and Blackwell RECUSE graphics 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.

6. Word. Of. Mouth. Stand around that water cooler, "So, that election fraud

hearing was really interesting".

Yo'll get a big Pfft from folks who think that if it isn't on the MSM it isn't real news, but at least open the door to the subject.

7. what about canvassing

like we did to get out the vote? We could use this forum to create groups within our local areas, use the list of Democratic voters, and go door to door armed with fliers and well thought-out, if not uniform, arguments for our cause.

8. How viable would it be to tape the C SPAN hearing

and in poor areas (where a lot of people don't have accessto the web or cable) give them out and ask that they copy them and pass them forward? (I like that phrase "pass it forward since the movie")

9. ADVERTISING. Instead of donating our hard earned cash to the DNC

who's done nothing, why doesn't some group start a grassroots fund for BUYING the media space that we are being denied?

--Billboards
--Newspaper ads
--TV spots
--Direct mail
--In-person canvassing


We cannot rally the people UNTIL THEY KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING.
They cannot know what's happening UNTIL SOMEONE TELLS THEM.

This is up to us. No one else will do it.

We need a fund, or we need to start a fund. Now.
