How to win back the low income urban demo

[roseBudd]

If low income urban youth believe that * is better at keeping them safe we must prove otherwise, in a simple easy to understand irrefutable format. I use flyers all the time in my street canvassing. I also use poor man's advertising techniques, ie. flyers on utility poles in urban neighborhoods. The flyer below accomplishes three things, it exposes Bush's lie in the 3rd debate, focuses on the fact that OBL is still out there AND proves with expert testimony from the Army War College and General Odom that in fact the Iraq debacle has made us less safe. But the most important thing it does is MOCK that puny pathetic man.

1. is urban code for...

black?

[roseBudd]

5. not necessarily, it also includes low income whites who aren't rural

or suburban. According to the lastest poll a demo the dems used to take for granted is breaking for Bush because they mistakenly think he keeps them safe.

Kerry polls really well with the so called educated elite, Bush polls best with theunderinformed.

But African Americans historically are a reliably loyal democratic base. For good reason, the GOP openly appeals to bigoted whites, with the Southern strategy beginning with Nixon.

7. the whites boys are the same

everywhere. the urban rednecks just dress better. but i dont see the mindset much different.

so the chimperor is going after jersey boys who if they lived in georgia would have gun racks and confedrate flags

[roseBudd]

8. I don't canvass nearly as many low income whites as blacks

But the really down and out know these are tougher times than anything they can remember. The poorer you are the more likely it is "the economy stupid"

12. "if they lived in georgia would have gun racks and confedrate flags"

Yep. I work with some of those Jersey boys and that's exactly right: urban rednecks!

6. I have been street canvassing low income urban people for 6 weeks

and I have heard underinformed people express the belief that Bush kept them safe.

The flyer below serves an important purpose and is perfect for poor man's advertising. If th utility pole isn't already covered with staples or glue residue, you're in the wrong neighborhood.



or this one for the draft (really good for barber shops)



or this one for wannabe rappers
