DUers were so kind to help me with the last flier I put out to my precinct Dems to inspire them to vote in the Texas primary back in March (we got record turnout!). Now I'm looking for a different kind of help.
This summer I'll be blockwalking my precinct hitting the houses where people vote in the general elections but we don't know which way they sway. I consider these people independent voters. I have heard that independent voters have a very low approval rating of the current administration, so I'm thinking that my flier to them will be all the reasons not to vote Republican AND/OR all the reasons to vote Democratic this election.
I have a one page split flier of the two party platforms in Texas compared. I'll also be including Democratic material from the campaigns + this flier that you'll help me with.
I know why WE choose not to vote for idiots, but we pay attention! These people are just living their lives not thinking about anything in particular. I want to change that.
Some background on my area: I live in the telecom corridor in Northern Texas (Dallas area). We got hit so hard in the last 6 years with huge layoffs and most everyone's jobs going to India. There are constantly houses for sale in my neighborhood. I think if every house hasn't been affected by layoffs, then I can at least say none of us have job security from day to day. Also, our area is close enough to have cared about what happened with Katrina. We still have Katrina people in our community. Also, we've got a lot of families with kids, so education is an issue. Everyone's got an SUV around here, so gas prices is an issue, too.
I'm looking for kind of bullet points....things I can put in an easy to read format. Some stats to include would be great. I'd be willing to share my finished flier with anyone that wants to see it.
Thanks DUers. I've been at DU for almost five years now and you never let me down!
