I should feel dirty and manipulative but I don't
I have been posting the flyers below at and around an Ohio campus all week. You should see the look on their faces when I say the word "draft"

Go to http://somnamblst.tripod.com to download high resolution TIF or PDF files to print and distribute to 18-34 year olds and their parents.

4. righteous indignation is MUCH better
They have been lying to us SO BADLY that it should be a relief to be able to get the truth out there.

These kids have to know that their LIVES are on the line here!!

5. This a GOP-style stinkbomb tactic.
Except it has the ring of truth.

Good on you.

17. Nothing stinkbomb-y about it.
Edited on Wed Sep-22-04 11:02 AM by calimary
You are spreading the truth. You're not trying to assassinate someone's character. You're not spreading rumors about somebody fathering a black child out of wedlock. You're not phonying something up to smear bush. You are printing and disseminating the truth. I think it's called something like - um, (scratches head) uh, what's that word - some antiquated phenomenon - um... Oh yeah! Journalism!

6. That's not manipulative. This, coupled with the statements right
from the WH about concentrating on Iran now, and concern about N Korea, Syria, the UK pulling back on troop support, will only confirm your statement on the flyer.

7. Don't forget to remind people
Bush/Cheney et al have DENIED they are planning a draft.

Also, remind them that if there is a draft, you won't see Jenna or Barbara Bush on any list for the draft.

Impeach Bush & Cheney, Tried, Convict, and throw away the Key.

Jail to the Chief

12. Yes, please print, Kinko and distribute!
I would love to get some really big poster size flyers for a boarded up Burger King that borders campus.

Send additional flyer ideas with concise verbage to my inbox.

I would love to do a Tora Bora poster.

We must educate. People who like Bush are underinformed. You'd have to be a newspaper junkie to know all the dirt in this Kobe/Michael Jackson world.

Aug. 6, 01 PDB:

Go to http://somnamblst.tripod.com to download high resolution TIF or PDF files to print and distribute. Let's Michael Moore Bush by showing the sheeple the explicit warning BushCo ignored in 2001!

9. No you shouldn't. Robert Novak should feel dirty and manipulative
for lying about Bush's "plan" to pull soldiers out of Iraq after the election, which is a blatant ploy to take away a reason for young people to flock to the polls and boot Bush the hell out.

10. I'll have to join you on that bit
I think the people at my college will be mildy shocked to see that, but I'm in California so it won't have as much impact.

14. Safe states need to help in the rumor mongering also
Kerry needs to swamp Bush in the popular vote. We cannot assume safety.

20. Do NOT take California for granted!
Edited on Wed Sep-22-04 11:11 AM by calimary
Why do you think they were so anxious to remove our DEMOCRATIC governor and install one of their own? Don't leave ANYTHING to chance. Besides, rosebud57 is correct. We need as large an overall vote count as possible. Young people need to realize they HAVE TO vote this time around, as though their very lives depended on it. Because they do.

11. Nice flyer!
Nothing dirty or manipulative at all. One suggestion though: if you can still edit it, you might want to fix the spelling of 'acknowledged'; the typo is a bit glaring.

15. Thanks for the headsup on typo. I will fix tonight and upload new PDF
I have to VPN to my work computer to do the PDFs. I do the TIFs at home.

Gotta go staple Draft Alert flyers on phone poles on off campus housing streets before we canvass students on Sunday.

13. Thank you for doing this...cause if they say
there isn't going to be a draft in bush's next term..that means there is!

They have not told the truth about one thing since before they hijacked the presidency..why would they start now?

22. Just got back from hanging up flyers
Red truth vs. blue truth. Young white repug males are for being shipped out. And I got into an argument on Iraq with blue collar dude.

Still we gotta motivate our Daily Show/Real Time base ;0
