The GOP is winning the email propaganda campaign [View All]

[FutureDemocrat]

I am constantly bombarded with republican propaganda email forwards from a few "moderate conservative" co-workers and family. These are the most racist, hateful, awful emails, mostly concerning Obama and the anti-immigrant effort. I'm sure you've all seen them.

The thing is, I have many many more friends and family that are democrats. Yet, I've never gotten one single forward pushing progressive issues/candidates (I've even specifically asked them to forward me anything they get). At first, I thought that this is because democrats don't play that game. I thought that this may actually help us because people don't like that kind of hateful crap anymore. However, I just had to explain to my less-informed sister that Obama is NOT a muslim, despite what her emails have said. These sorts of things tend to stick in the minds of uneducated middle-class people. So now I'm thinking we should be starting our own email propaganda campaigns.

So, I'm putting out a call to all Democrats to start your own email forwards in order to, at the very least, remain competitive in the email forward wars. BTW, cartoons makes great forwards-and let's try to stay away from the low blows.
