What should John Kerry do on Labor Day?
I say seek out a closed down factory (Preferably formerly owned by a Bush supporter) and hold a Labor Day Picnic/rally nearby.... and introduce a New Deal type program.

3. Usually those are the ones with the shut down factories
He need to remind folks that even RNC phone banks have been outsourced

4. Do what Jimmy Carter did on Labor Day, 1976
Deliver a speech on the front porch of FDR's cottage in Warm Springs, Georgia (or open his campaign with a rally at Harry Truman's home in Independence, Mo) and then go to the stock car races in Darlington, South Carolina and compete for that Bush vote.

5. Walk across the Mackinaw Bridge with Michigan Politicians
It's a non-partisan tradition. Governor Granholm will likely be there, even Engler did it (I imagine that 5 mile walk wasn't easy for him).

6. Speech at Union Square in Detroit is traditional.
Also Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner, not sure where.

(p.s. Not sure it's called "Union Square". Anybody know the correct name?)
