1. Register new voters. Registration forms are usually online.
Print them out and give them to everyone you ask who is not registered to vote.

5. Get a copy of Outfoxed and invite
any Fox watching friends over for a house party? Contact DFA or ACT or something and see if they have something in your area..

7. Keep an eye right here, and don't shut up. The reason the neocons got
as far as they did was a combination of their secrecy and the people's belief that "Nobody would try that! This is America!"
We're on to 'em now like stink on what-have-ya. We went from figuring out how they had done their misdeeds a month after the fact to calling their shots before they even make 'em, but we can never fully trust the system again.
We watch the news, we trade ideas, we out-think those sons of Machiavelli and whip 'em at their own game...and what you find out, you spread. The big bats in their line-up were secrecy and the trust of the sheeple but thanks to the internet, the untiring efforts of some really great bloggers on our side, and message boards to get the word out and keep it circulating their secrecy's on the bench and the trust is in a serious slump.
They're on the ropes so we just keep 'em there.
I believe I just mixed my sports metaphors. :eyes:

10. Hi Southerleftylady
Edited on Sun Aug-01-04 07:59 PM by Pithlet
from another mom in Memphis :hi:

Registering voters is a great idea, like someone else said. The bumper stickers are a great idea, too. I saw a Kerry sticker on a car here in Memphis the other day, something you don't see too often. Every little bit helps.

My husband and I did some election volunteering in 2002 through the Tennessee Democratic Party. You could get in touch with them to find out ways to help out locally. http://www.tndp.org/ edit: oops, that was already suggested.

13. Hi
Try to go to Kerry rallies. I went to the rally in Greensburg, PA and it was one of the best days of my life! I was even lucky enough to meet Teresa Heinz Kerry! She is such a wonderful person!
