The Whispering Campaign

How to start educating your neighborhood - leaflet news articles the general public doesn't see.

This is just a limited beginning. Then you start a neighborhood group where people can meet and discuss and decide what to do next. You start your own reform group and actually get involved in politics. You will find it is actually fun and tiny groups can make big changes over time.

Are you tired of shouting? Let's start whispering.

The GOP is doing this and spread their story by means that go under the radar of most media and most of the opponents of their ideas. They use churches and even big ad campaigns like their PAX station broadcasts of 30-minute attacks on Kerry's patriotism disguised as infomercials. The Democratic response - "Who is watching PAX anyway?" The answer was more rural area, more traditional families and more religious fundamentalists, all voters who went overwhelming against Kerry.

Slide under their radar and go local. You have the advantage - progressive policies benefit over 90% of the people while the conservatives play to their small base but find issues to distract the voters to get slim majorities.

I have been pushing the idea that the Democratic Party is waiting to be taken over by people like you in your area. I have seen what has happened to the Democratic Party in Texas as a big influx of Kucinich and Dean supporters and is taking it over. Kucinich delegates, many former Greens, got the most important parts of their platforms adopted - in Texas. The Dean and Clark delegates became the center of the party.
