The REpubs have screwed things up so bad, we will certainly take this county (Ulster in NY) over next year.
I plan to pull everyone together after the win and go on a binge of good government, including:
1. Creating a regional plan so there is eco-friendly SMART GROWTH instead of the DUMB GROWTH from the Repubs, based on PRISONS and CASINOS!
2. Starting an Innovation Drive to save money and speed projects within the government.
3. Open Government (they never heard of that here)
4. Fire all the dumb fucks we can within the department heads that have built up over 32 years of Republican rule.
BTW, the Dems were down 25-8 in the County Legislature. Last year we soared up to 16 seats while the Repubs sunk to 17 seats--and now they just announced an additional 24% county property tax hike, equaling 55% over a few years!
How did we win? We made our own campaign newspaper, told the truth in 40,000 copies, something the County had never seen. 3 more issues of that paper in 2005 and this county is ours and there is nothing the Rs can do. After all, taxes are up so much, even the Republicans around here are dying to get rid of the Republicans.
Ulster County is a metaphor of what will happen in the US as a whole over the next 4 years. It all happened so quickly.
The newspaper, we believe, was key to the whole thing happening as it did, although we no doubt would have won more seats anyway.
Make your won newspaper, RECRUIT GREAT CANDIDATES, use computerized voter lists, start organizing on the local level and Take Your County Back!
We will also have Burma Shave signs this year, saying:
THE REPUBLICANS HAVE YOUR
CREDIT CARD AND
KNOW HOW TO USE IT!
LET THEM BACK IN --
AND THEY'LL REALLY ABUSE IT!
They are really cheap and go off like a tactical nuclear device in the republican's face as everyone drives by and starts repeating them because they are funny. It's a campaign JINGLE that won't go away!
What would you do with your own county? Open to suggestions...
This session of "Republicans For Breakfast 101" is now over.
