that are getting sandbagged by the Repugs to not go to the polls.

They can announce over a loudspeaker that they should go to vote; give instructions so that when they vote in counts; tell them where the polling places are, etc.

Sometimes some basic technology like a sound truck wheeling through a neighborhood can be more effective than anything else. It surely will get attention. People will come out of their houses to find out what is going on and where that voice is coming from. People will talk to each other and rally the vote.

Seems like this would be a very inexpensive way to get to the people.

1. We still do that in Cleveland.....
We were going to get one for the Suburbs, drive around at like five in the morning and say Vote for GW Bush... He's up now, so should you...

Or something like that...

2. PROBABLY easier and less publicly disturbing to ROBOCALL. But I like
that idea myself, especially in neighboorhoods were everyone is DEM.

3. Wondered about that, too
:shrug:

Some communities may have ordinaces forbidding that, though. Here in Aurora, you can get ticketed for having your car radio too loud.

Something else they could/should do is put BIG campaign sign on top of three cars and the cars drive closely together up and down the heavy traffic streets.

4. I was thinking the same thing.
It would be worth getting a ticket, though-- a simple act of Civil Disobedience.
