Operation: Red Alert

Susan S. found this blogger who is doing just what someone suggested at our last Think Tank... but with a new twist...organizing a way to make short soundbite size mini-flyers that we can post around town. You can sign up to receive them by e-mail as a pdf ready to print.

If you want to help write them, go to dailykos on Mondays. In fact, it's the most happening political blog around imho[in my humble opinion], so check it out any time:

Operation: Red Alert comes from an idea that surfaced on the Daily Kos diaries a few days back. Essentially, we will organize to craft messages and distribute them through an email list. The members of the list will post these messages on grocery store bulletin boards and the like. Here are some potential examples:
WASHINGTON REPUBLICANS CHANGE RULES
In the early 1990's Republicans put in a rule that said a congressional leader who's been indicted of a crime must step down. Now that Republican Tom Delay appears to be heading towards indictment, they get rid of that rule. What do Washington Republicans really stand for?

WASHINGTON REPUBLICANS SEEKING TO ERASE YOUR MORTGAGE DEDUCTION
The White House and congressional Republicans are seeking to do away with the tax deduction on your mortgage. Some tax relief, huh?

WASHINGTON REPUBLICANS WANT TO SNOOP ON YOUR TAX RETURNS
Congressional Republicans attempted to gain the power to not only gain access to any citizens tax returns, but also to make them public. Do you value your privacy? We sure do. Vote Democrat.
