The Democrats had better turn up the heat and fast. The repukes are not going to let this go. Democrats need to start traveling around right behind the idiot. They should hold town hall meetings at EVERY venue the idiot speaks at and rebut everything he says. FOLLOW HIM AROUND THE COUNTRY! They should get a copy of his schedule and plan to meet in the same within days of his propaganda tour.

Aggressive efforts to guide opinion trends on Social Security raise concerns over `information-sharing'By Mark Silva

<snip>An internal Republican National Committee memo shows that during a recent congressional recess, when lawmakers returned home to test public sentiment on Bush's Social Security plans, the committee booked staff and "surrogates"--local speakers lined up to speak on the president's behalf--for national television interviews while party staffers participated in nearly 50 local and national radio interviews.
At the same time, the memo shows, Progress for America's troops made 7,098 contacts with constituents in targeted districts, participated in 38 radio shows, hired public relations professionals in 20 states with plans to expand to 25, and "generated" 18 published letters to the editor on Social Security.
CoMPASS forces made more than 250,000 telephone contacts in 11 targeted districts, the memo details, participated in 41 interviews with local media, placed 200 calls to talk radio shows, "mobilized" 3,100 advocates to attend town hall meetings with members of Congress, "drove attendance" at 50 town-hall meetings and placed opinion pieces in the newspapers of 10 "local markets."<snip>
<snip>"We are seeing a steady stream of covert propaganda being churned out by the Bush administration," said Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), who is seeking investigations of the administration's media techniques.. "You would think they would pull back their efforts, but they are moving ahead with outrageous propaganda tactics on Social Security."<snip>
