I just posted 22 flyers in Chicago.
It's not much, but it's a start. Sad to say, I didn't see any other politically minded flyers in the process, and wondered to myself what exactly my fellow DUers in the area were doing about these most troubling of times.

1. What were the fliers, and where did you post them?
I'll keep my eye out for them...

3. Just this so far.

I thought I'd start with areas most likely populated by key demographics: Wicker Park around Milwaulke, North, and Damen; and Halsted from Belmont north.

5. In those areas you might be preaching to the choir.

If you're trying to get them to sing, then those are the places to hit.

If you want to tweak the group that voted Repug (tough to find in the city) then target the Gold Coast. Hit downtown.

Get 'em where the money is.

Whatever you do, just keep doing it.

6. Oh those are on the list.
But it's important to start slow. I think you'd be surprised how many in the likely demographic still have no idea. It's a hard concept to be suddenly thrown into, so that's why I think it's best to let it slowly build its way up. Start with the liberal centres and gradually radiate from there. (By gradually, I mean over the next few days. We do have a deadline!)

7. I saw the posters in Lakeview.
Good idea. I think word-of-mouth (and flyers) is the way to go, considering the MSM will never report it.

2. Every efffort starts with the first step
You took it in Chicago today... I took it in san Diego, the other day...

Believe me it will take many people like you and me doing their bit

Congrats, keep up the good work... and DO go to a DFA meeting, trust me you will meet fellow activists and you may find a group that is already doing SOMETHING

PRoblem with the groups is that the media does not carry the news of demonstrations

So we have to do this word of mouth

4. Word of mouth it is.
Democracy for Illinois looks like a good place to start.

8. Please come to Springfield!
Sunday 12/12 at noon in front of the capitol building. This needs to be big if we are going to get the msm to cover it. There are speakers being lined up, you need only bring your sign and self.
Help keep this kicked

9. Will this be a demonstration
solely regarding the election fraud, or is it for another purpose?
