National Democratic Message - Who are these people??
www.nationaldemocraticmessage.net

Anyone know? They are putting big signs all around TX-22 from Clear Lake to Fort Bend. None of us know who they are and their website gives no clues. They are putting up their signs right next to our candidate signs we've put up and we think it may confuse voters since it's an unknown organization. If we don't find out more about them soon, we are taking their signs down. In some cases, they slapped signs up right next to a sign we put up where we KNOW the person asked for just one particular sign of ours - we don't want our friends to think we are putting these other signs up without asking them!

Here's a link to a photo of the sign:

Let me know if you have any info at all on this group. Thanks!

12. Is this Pelosi's aide?
What will this person be able to tell me and why after the 15th?

Just curious.

Is this some sort of House Dems campaign to get the democratic message out?

3. Check their bloggers. The ones from Florida look fine to me.
They seem to link to the very issues the Dems are pushing.

4. No problem with the message, but it IS bad to presumptious
with folks who have said yes to one of your signs.

Maybe, if they're legit, your signees will accept a second sign . . . ?

5. What we wonder is if they are . . .
LaRouche. If they are legit, they sure are inaccessible. It's almost like they are trying to hide their identity. It's that hard to figure out who they are.

We took the ones down that they put up outside our headquarters.

Signs aren't cheap and some of theirs are going to go bye-bye if they don't answer our emails to them.

It's an odd situation!

6. They link to CREW.
That is who the Wilson are hiring, one of their lawyers. I think they are a good group.

I am not sure who is behind this group. I know the Florida bloggers would not associate with just any group. I feel pretty sure of that.

7. Yeah, that message is kind of LaRouche-ian.
I've been wondering about pseudo-Democrats hitching a ride on what's happening right now. I suppose LaRoucha-ians would do that as readily as anyone else, maybe even more so.

Just as a hypothetical, if you used them, it would take just how much of what to keep them from using us? Wouldn't want them to get a toe-hold like the Racists have in the Republic Party.

8. Be on the lookout for fake diversionary groups near the midterms
It's an old tacticmeant to cause confusion or defame one of the parties in the election. Go right to the source and find out who they are and who is fronting them.

And the email address above given for contact later is for Pelosi's aide.

11. thanks, everyone - still wish I knew more!
There are no disclaimers on their signs, so we don't know if they are a PAC or just what they are.
