"PROVE IT!" should be part of a campaign to brand reform message
I was listening to Mehlman talk about Iraq on MTP.

He was having verbal orgasms over elections as the reason for thinking that all of the lost lives were worth it. Everything they do and say is rooted in the notion that their policies are popular because of elections.

If democracy is so fucking important to Republicans than they ought to PROVE IT by enacting legislation that will protect every vote in America!

PROVE IT! could be a good brand to put on just about every statement that they make. I think now is a good time to push this.

1. I think 'Show Me' might be a little better...
'Prove it' will feel too adversarial to most Americans and play into GOP criticisms.

But there needs to be a better slogan for the Dems.

3. Because, when it comes to Republican lies...
...we're all from Missouri.

2. PROVE IT Bush, PROVE IT DeLay, PROVE IT McCain
You're right, they should all PROVE IT. This is hot, easy to remember.

I've been bitching to the nay-sayers, doubters, and quibblers on election fraud that

VOTING RIGHTS IS A DEMOCRATIC ISSUE AND IT'S ONE THAT A BIG MAJORITY OF THE PUBLIC SUPPORTS, WITHOUT REALLY THINKING ABOUT IT

...and I say PROVE IT to the F'ing DNC bureaucrats who are not doing anything to make this an issue. Now is the time, this is the battle cry. Thanks.

NEW LEADERS FOR A NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY!

Contact the DNC and Give 'em Hell About NOT Acting on Election Fraud. If they deny fraud & risk tell them to PROVE IT

4. Show me, Prove it - whatever...
point is that they predicate all of their policy on this fantasy of democracy that they worship. We need to appeal to the idea of fair play and take this fantasy apart in a really simple way. It would help if our reps would start challenging them when they make claims that are false about democracy -here and abroad.
