My long cold day outside
You know I went to work today had about 5 people that I was trying to explain what was going on in Ohio and across America, all Union folks too. They looked at me like I had lost my mind. I told them I would bring in some facts tomaroow for all of them are computer illiterate.
Of course I was talking with them early in the day so I had to put up with construction worker ridicule all day, LOL (one word of advise talk to people a little before quitting time lol) I`m an Ironworker if your wondering.

But I came home and threw together a nice little hand out so they could read at home. I included Arnebecks lawsuit,Clinton Curtis Affidavite, Conyers letters 20 facts about Diebold and The other shenanigans that have happened in Ohio. I will give that to them tomaroow.

The hard part was trying to convince them that the news media was blacking it out because Bush_Rove Cartel Owns the Pollster and the Major Affiliates. They are all hell bent that the media is way left LOLOLOl Bastards

Then after scanning the threads here I really started to feel like it was a very positive day!! NAACP and Waters Jumping in head first,the lawsuit, Yang Ent freakin out and most of all the thread that states that none of the Coalitions involved in this fight where involved in 2000!
Over all things seem to be picking up steam.It is the first day that I haven`t been following the election all day in a long time. So I think if you step back and look at the big picture I think we are progressing slowly but surely AND I BELIEVE

1. Good job man. Here's a thread started today about that problem
How to get around that roadblock of "why haven't I seen it on TV?" Here's the discussion on the issue.

2. Good job. I've done with getting into media blackout. Now
I just say, "What, and miss Scott Peterson?" or something like that. Most people don't like tv news anyway. They think it's left, it's right, everyone seems to have a reason. So, when I say, "When was the last time tv news reported the most important stuff of your day?" people tend to agree with that.

3. That's a good question. When was the last time TV news
reported the stuff of your day? IOW when was the last time that the news reported what's important to you? That's really a good point and a good lead into the topic.

5. So Twist, where is the work of art?
I could use it for some people I know thinking I'm wearing tin foil.

7. Twist_U_Up -- U did a great job and maybe try to stick to just a
couple of clear, convincing facts about election fraud tomorrow. If you go too far into opinions about why it is all happening you might just loose 'em. Start small then build over the next week or so...

:kick:
