Is there some other party that we're expecting to confront the GOP for us?

I posted these two comprehensive responses to the republican's ramped up campaign of fear and smear . . . to virtually NO response.

Who do we expect to fight these battles for us? These efforts by the DNC need to be amplified

1. Because, until the corporate media starts reporting it, it's

effectively not happening to the majority of Americans.

These are great talking points, but I don't hear them on the news.

2. that's why I post them here. we need to use our resources to help

here's where you start:

4. What are you complaining about?

That the media or America at large isn't responding to those articles? Or that we here at DU aren't?

At any rate they both seem like fine responses.

6. that we aren't

just a nudge. I like the DNC's response. It's direct, up to date, and comprehensive

[bryant69]

8. I can agree with that

I think that sometimes we here at DU are too quick to harp on the DNC without taking the time to look at what they are doing and why they are doing it.

5. do you have specific tasks in mind?

Letters to the editor is probably the biggest impact one can make, aside from taking to the streets.

7. Call-in shows are also good. Especially conservative ones.

Keep in mind the nutcase takeover of the GOPrano party didn't happen overnight, and it didn't happen without hundreds of thousands of individuals taking the initiative of making these seemingly small efforts.

Let's get to work! :D

9. I'd go to our Activist Resource page I posted above.

we used to talk a lot during the past election about 'blasting' these efforts to the media.

It's past time to begin our blasting, like we recognized the emergency, once more.
