Tell it like it is, Mike !

I agree that we are inherently different than donkeys and elephants.  Can you tell me why in 4 short sentences that you might use with a person who you talked to coming out of the subway who had a minute to talk to you ?

I can use that info in helping Local Ballots 2008 frame the ballot question.

(Actually I think it is good for everyone to do this exercise).  It would be interesting to see what the result would be especially if each answering person were not able to know about other people's answers !

I understand that we're picking on Mitt, because he is from MA. So, would
we have done something similar if (and 
when) Kerry decides to run?

What is the message here? Who are we asking our Republican "friends" to
vote for? Who are we asking our 
Democratic "friends" to vote for? If Kucinich were from MA, would we be
doing something similar with our 
Republican friends?

I thought that our message was that there is something "inherently" wrong
about the Democratic and Republican 
parties, and that we wanted to ask the public to vote for our party?

It really makes me angry when I see the Democrats interfering with the
Green (Green-Rainbow) Party or with Nader.
They should mind their own business and we should focus on our own.

I think the above sums it up for me. I am responding late to this  
thread. But i will add that what Grace says above goes hand in hand  
with being the part we want to be. And if that means, and it does to  
me, getting elected and standing by our values at the SAME time, then  
we need to be out there about our values. We will be on the inside  
when we get elected and we should also stay on the outside organizing  
for more change!

Strategy wise, i might not include the dems in what would have been  
today's event to show that we can stand on our own. But since Grace  
did such a fantastic job at the governor level of discourse that  
people have opened their minds to the possibility of what the GRP may  
have to say abotu things, or at least Grace may say -- and we should  
use that to our advantage to tell about how bad Romney really is. It  
would have cost in time and organizing a bit to get a few people out  
but worth it.

Another reason to keep hitting on the press is the recognition  
factor. From marketing, it takes people 7 times on average seeing the  
same product to get comfortable with it enough to buy it. We are not  
selling, nor selling out, but Grace got 4 debates on major news and  
in that way has set the stage for more recognition of the GRP, again  
not as a bunch of wackos but possibly as people who actually think  
about things and have some good ideas.

Peace,
Dan
