It's August, folks! Let's kick it up a notch (for some that will be a challenge)
Edited on Thu Jul-31-08 11:50 PM by themartyred
as they are already firing on all cylinders! I'm sputtering at times, because of life's challenges. I'm just saying, if you get the chance to voice an opinion to a single person you meet about Obama, ask them their deepest concern about life (medical care, gas, war) and point out why Obama's much better for this country - simple as that. No other discussion needed unless they ask. And you've addressed their biggest concern.

Heck! You might even get someone that says they think he's a Muslim. And you can correct them politely, without having to disparage the Muslim faith. I have found many people who have either believed the crazy email forwards (my Aunt, a GOPer, just sent me one saying most of Obama's donations are coming from ISP addresses in China! Of course, she said she doesn't like sending negative email forwards, but this one was just "so fishy!"... I corrected her with snopes.com)

I hope I'm one of the 10 winners who's asked to go to the convention, but even if not, we can feel like we're there!

For, this is the month our Democratic Party's candidate is made official and he takes Center Stage! This also is the month that we get our VP candidate chosen by Barack, and we set the real groundwork for victory in November, by having all the pieces to the puzzle before us!



Can I get a YES WE CAN!?

1. If anyone mentions to me what they heard on
the m$m about Obama I'm going to say.."Don't let them do your thinking for you..they brought 8 years of bush and the War On Iraq."

Thanks for your thread, martyred.

2. hey zidzi!
good to hear from you. I like that response! Quickly succinct and powerful!

I think I may spot try something like that and say, "don't let them tell you how to think, prices have soared under bush while the corporations have made billions, and this war they said was won, is never-ending!" I'm gonna memorize it so I see their reaction.

Take care! :)

4. I had the chance to talk with a young woman voting for the first time this year
And that is what we talked about---finding alternatives to the MSM for information. Luckily, she seemed to already realize that the MSM is devious.

5. That warms my heart because, imo,
the majority of Americans have to realize that fact before we can really change. Obama Team is doing their best to win in spite of getting barraged with LIES by them 24/7 but if we had a free press..oh what this country could be!

6. wow, me too!
I was thinking, we have got to start pushing non-corporate news media somehow, on a grand scale - because they clearly are catering to their interests, as we know, but it must end, and we must figure out how... this is nice to see others talking about it. Whatever the BEST non-corporate news site there is on the web, we should ALL use it, and encourage them to report fair, and we should donate to keep them strong, and we should tell others about non-biased media - because clearly, we don't get much of that in the MSM, just Maddow and Olbermann are constantly on the up and up, even when the DEMS deserve some correction.
