Suggestions For Comment Cards For Inquiries

All -

I have a Bernie sticker (hold your applause or jeers) on my truck, and I also live in a very RED town.

To avoid a confrontation from the meatheads around town, I am looking for some ideas for a small card (3x5) I can hand to somebody that comes at me with the Fox News talking points (you know - Are you a socialist? How's socialism working in Venezuela, etc...)

I may start with what Harry Truman wrote in 1952 (paraphrasing a bit)...

Socialism is what Republicans called public power.
Socialism is what Republicans called social security.
Socialism is what Republicans called farm price supports.
Socialism is what Republicans called bank deposit insurance.
Socialism is what Republicans called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is Republicans' name for almost anything that helps all the people.


Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance!
