I say we make every appropriate Blue Dog's life a living hell as peacefully and legally as possible.

How can we bombard them to the point where they get the message---peacefully and legally, of course? Phone calls, marches, viral ads, blogs, etc. We have strength in numbers--they're scared shitless that we will organize to do this. They think we are entirely defenseless as we have no real liberal party to turn to. Let's prove them wrong!

1. Now you're talking -

let us know what we need to do and I'm there.

6. What about call banks, or some DU calling list? We can take turns

putting in some time making the rounds on the switchboards. Or get some of our creative friends to circulate viral videos on facebook.

The DLC would hate it if we used Facebook. That's a low-information voters' haven. Maybe if we calmly and rationally told our low-info voting friends about the DLC/New Democrats, and give them a brief primer on what their agenda is, they can't get away with bashing progressives and still retain their base of voters.

I know it sounds cheesy, but I think translating some DU principles into more laymen's terms and circulating them on facebook is the way to go.

Also---it's really cheap and not that tough to start a blog! I highly recommend it. Be the high-information voter who educates your friends in a palatable way.

2. Good idea

3. How about a mass mailing of Band Aids to each of them?

4. I agree, Also, run against them in primaries.

5. Is Bob Barker still alive?

Remember how he used to sign off "The Price Is Right" with a reminder to spay & neuter your pets?

Maybe he would be willing to do some PSA's to spay & neuter Blue Dogs? :evilgrin:

7. On a more serious note---maybe if Hollywood starts to take note of Obama's rightward shift

and the DLC's role in bashing progressives, that will put that low-info, mainstream, "centrist" pressure on them to move back over to the left. Just a little.

[rudy23]

8. Anybody know any celebrities or PR companies?

Standing up against Obama's DLC-ness might add some edginess and intelligence to a celebrity's aura.

9. If you really want to do this, do like protesters did in the UK to Pinochet

They would wait until the dead of night, and then drive past his house, and then fire off an air horn really loud a few times. Then wait another hour or two, and repeat

They will get no sleep

10. First pick the worst.

Organize a march in DC because that would be the only chance to get this on the media. They seem to only post and support republican things, and we should be so darn thankful that we do have a LIBERAL media.

Bombard the local area newspaper and explain to them, that even tho these creeps come from their state they are hurting the whole country...write write write letters SOME MIGHT GET PUBLISHED. AND SEND LETTERS TO THE LOCAL TV STATIONS IN THOSE AREAS. THEY WILL MORE LIKELY BE LOOKED AT THEN NATIONAL TV. National TV only reports on the republicans and how they want to cure everything, WHAT THEY DID TO THE COUNTRY.
