It's the first morning of Ugly Season, folks.

Here it comes... Brace yourselves, buck up, and channel your anger and frustration with the Nixonian dirty tricks and the corporate media whores into voters for Kerry. Get out today and volunteer!!

1. I thought it started yesterday, but close enough for guvment

work.

I think the October Surprise is that there isn't going to be anything out of the Rovedinary.

3. "Guvment work" - LOL.

I guess that shows the power of campaigning. I was out doing it for most of yesterday, so wouldntcha know it - I missed opening day!

2. David Brooks' refers to it as Phase 3; said the same thing,

calling it the nastiest part of the campaign. He said it was these four phases:
1. Convention
2. Debates
3. Nasty, desperate campaigning
4. Voter turnout

I think he forgot a few other phases:
5. Media spin and premature declaration of victor;
6. Protracted vote count and disenfranchisement;
7. Awarding of presidency by SCOTUS (God I hope not).

4. I would crawl on my hands and knees on broken glass

with a SMILE on my face to get to my polling place to rid this country of B*!

I am ignoring everything except the calendar as it allows me to tick off the days to this can be achieved

5. As Molly Ivans says

Let's have FUN doing the right thing.
Action is a great cure for the nasties.
And it will help plant a lil' bush back in Texas

I'm going to help register voters who voted absentee but weren't registered. What can you guys do in the next two weeks to make a difference?

I challenge all you wise DU'ers to take at least one action-I'm ASSURED that you already are and have done something-
maybe it's a flyer at your local grocery store, a letter to the editor or a 4 hour stint at your Kerry office.

There's Victory 04, America Coming Together, Teachers for Kerry, Local Kerry offices, Move ONs' Leave No Voter Behind, True Majority's Liar Liar Pants On Fire tour!, and the Election Protection Commission's Protect The Vote/ There's also all the smaller races that mean so much to create a more Democratic Congress....oooh the list is endless! I know some of us are tired of working...but we have a little farther to go. But oh what a payoff

What are YOU gonna do?
