He did his part. We all know what a horrid job the mainstream media has done , regarding the Bush administration , and his movie has "highlighted" some of the more horrific abuses of the Bush gang.
These people are not going to take this lying down.The media is not on OUR side. They are still the prissy butt kissers that they have always been. They gravitate to power. Bush is still their guy.
Anyone remember Diebold, Es&S, Sequoia??
Those pesky little DREs are Bush's "down" card. Be prepared for the "oooh so close", "too close to call", "50-50 nation", etc. comments from the press.. Be aware that this is the code speak that will enable the DREs to win it for Bush.
Democrats need to be prepared to register people like they have never done before, they need to be prepared to be vocal, they need to write letters to the editor, go to city council meetings, challenge the registrar's offices when they see things that are "odd". Remind your friends to call or go down to the registrar's office and MAKE SURE they are on the voting rolls. If they do it NOW, there will be adequate time to "fix" any problems.
Know this...there will probably NOT be exit polls.. The Bush gang will not make this mistake twice. Exit polls picked the correct winner, Gore... It would not fit their scheme to have exit pollers at a given polling place say that 75% polled said the voted for Kerry, and then the DRE numbers said the opposite..
There will probably NOT be any recount ability, so we have ONE chance to get it correct.
Communities need to organize NOW.. Mike's movie might be the catalyst to form groups...hundreds of them.. These could be invaluable for brainstorming.
I plan to make up cards to give to folks..
There will be highlights of things that did not fit into the movie, along with URLs so people can check for themselves, and my name and phone number .. We need to start forming groups NOW, so we can be ready for what is to come. Every community has places to meet for free. There are parks, most restaurants have the capability to push some tables together.. Groups of 10-15 people can be a powerful force.. People are energized by this film.. Now is the time to cash in on the enthusiasm overload.
When November rolls around, we need to be prepared. We were caught flat-footed last time, because we counted on things working out fairly. We are not dealing with "fair" people.
You do not negotiate with sharks. You either get out of the water or you deal with them with a force equal to or greater than theirs.
