Let me begin by stating I'm not advocating calling people up and lying to them, as was the case when the Bush team used this tactic to defeat all enemies including McCain and Kerry.
I'm advocating the creation of phone-banks and letting the constituents in Republican districts on what it is their Representatives and Senators are up to.
People are far too busy to follow some of the arcane goings on very closely and I'd be willing to bet less than half of Santorum's constituents have a clue as to the fact that he is against Griswold and what that really means.
I was reminded of his ass-hattery today when I stopped by for a visit at Eschaton...
...and there was a post and a link
http://tinyurl.com/dglq6 about Santorum being opposed to fertility clinics.
It seems to me that this man is on the wrong side of science, history and has behaved hippocritically enough to sink any politician... but only if potential voters are informed. What better way to do this than pick up the phone and let people in on what he is doing on
their behalf?
No dissembling, just the facts. Like most of you. I feel that if Americans actually knew what was being done in their names they'd revolt. It's time to take the battle to the GOP which has long since ceased to play by any rules except the new ones they write daily.
Kossacks are an energetic bunch who can't wait to be activist and this seems a good way to make advantage of this. This could be used in races coast to coast and is a good way to circumvent the right-wing media and the GOP spin/smear machine.
So, what'd'ya think?
