Why must we wait for an election year to ring populist ideals?

If Soros and MoveOn, et al want to make a real impact - then why not air commercials on a consistent shedule that will underline the perils of Republican policies?

I envision these scenarios: A mother speaks to the camera while holding her child - both disenfranchised from medical services directly due to Bush/Republican policies. Scenario #2: Bobby Kennedy, Jr. and his two sons in front of the camera on a bad air day. Both of his sons have asthma. Bush's environmental standards make the air potentially toxic for these two little boys. And so on...

Regular hammering before the height of an election cycle could make a tremendous impact on the voters' impressions of a candidate and their party politics.

1. I wonder if the media would air them...

3. MSNBC would. They will air anything as long as

the check clears.

In 2002, they aired commercials calling Paul Wellstone a "communist."

2. I agree, but we can't rely on Soros.

He didn't want his money spent on tv commericals.

That is why 'America Coming Together' to get-out-the-vote was founded.

4. True, we cannot rely solely on Soros to step in.

That is why I included the "et al" in the message. There are other interested parties elsewhere that are interested in spurning the junta that has infected our country.

Soros influence in voter registration is invaluable. We need to register voters now. Not at the last minute. Once registered, that registration needs to be verified. We also need to plug all the holes used to disenfranchise legitimate registrants.
