The 2014 congressional elections are coming up, and gaining a Democratic House majority in those elections should be a top priority.
In 2014, we have a powerful campaign tool that must be used throughout the country in those elections. It's very simple. Starting on October 1, people will begin to be able to sign up for health insurance on insurance exchanges all across the country. Simultaneously with that sign up period, the Democratic Party in every district with a Republican representative in the House of Representatives should begin running ads that say:
Congress Member {Name of Idiotic Republican} voted 42 times to keep you from getting affordable health insurance!
On TV. On radio. In newspapers. Everywhere. Broadcast this message, starting on October 1 and continuing until November, 2014. Make that the theme for the 2014 mid-term elections in every district where a Republican holds the congressional seat. Repeat it. Don't do it constantly, but keep doing it from time to time until November, 2014.
We have this tool. We should use it, and we should use it everywhere.
GOTV 2014!
