National Teach-in on the "Crooked Lying Group?" Anyone game to do this?
Edited on Sat Mar-13-04 02:45 PM by WiseMen
Did John Kerry open a dissertation topic with his hypothesis about the “crooked lying group.”
What is the membership this crooked lying group?
Is this really the most crooked lying group ever?



Maybe not. But, I think it is a least a good enough topic for a national teach-in.


The teach-in is a great grass-roots organizational tool. While targeted at the already committed is serves the critical role of testing and buttressing opinion with facts and analysis.

The teach-in format can often leverage local resources in the form of university professors, local journalists as well as local political action communities.

Teach-ins are more of a longer-range campaign strategy, which impacts the electorate through a multi-stage information diffusion process. Now is the time to start a program of teach-ins which would serve, at minimum, to prepare campaign volunteers for canvassing the swing States during the summer.

So how about it. A national teach-in on “The crooked lying group.”

Questions:


Could this be funded by 527 money?

Should this be keep totally seperate from Kerry campaign to protect independent funding?

Which organization should be involved?

1. You Missed Soros' Book "The Bubble of American Supremacy"
Good idea to include that if we want to go to him for funding, No?

3. Good post.
I recently spoke to a former Republican who said she switched to Democrat because she had come to the conclusion that the Republican Party was evil and this was why.
