MY GOTV idea
when I pass out candy tomorrow for halloween, I am rubber banding small flyers for Kerry Edwards. As most parents check their kids candy, they will see them.

Also, its two days before the election, so it can't hurt. Help me publicize this idea if you think it is a good idea.

1. Or burn 50 CDs of the Eminem song Mosh
Good idea. I also get lots of lower income and minority trick or treaters.

We could also give away CDsof Eminem's song Mosh. I am burning 50 CDs of the new Eminem song which is not yet released. I am giving copies to young Kerry supporters like VoteMob, Young Voter Alliance and anyone sporting lots of Kerry stickers on their car asking them to play the song in high foot traffic/hang out type areas. Also asking inner city CD stores to play it. Mosh is our anthem!

50 CDS and cases only costs $21.

I found the mp3 at http://www.stimulate-ltd.com /

Used cdex to convert the mp3 to a wav file and I'm handing out copies.

To the people up top, on the side and the middle,
Come together, let's all bomb and swamp just a little
Just let it gradually build, from the front to the back
All you can see is a sea of people, some white and some black
Don't matter what color, all that matters is we gathered together
To celebrate for the same cause, no matter the weather
If it rains let it rain, yea the wetter the better
They ain't gonna stop us, they can't, we're stronger now more then ever,
They tell us no we say yea, they tell us stop we say go,
Rebel with a rebel yell, raise hell we gonna let em know
Stomp, push up, mush, fuck Bush, until they bring our troops home come on just . . .

Come along, follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark, that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength,
Come with me, and I won't stear you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
Till the light, at the end, of the tunnel, we gonna fight,
We gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march through the swamp
We gonna mosh through the marsh, take us right through the doors, come on

Imagine it pouring, it's raining down on us,
Mosh pits outside the oval office
Someone's trying to tell us something, maybe this is God just saying
we're responsible for this monster, this coward, that we have empowered
This is Bin Laden, look at his head nodding,
How could we allow something like this, Without pumping our fist
Now this is our, final hour
Let me be the voice, and your strength, and your choice
Let me simplify the rhyme, just to amplify the noise
Try to amplify the times it, and multiply it by six
Teen million people are equal of this high pitch
Maybe we can reach Al Quaida through my speech
Let the President answer on high anarchy
Strap him with AK-47, let him go
Fight his own war, let him impress daddy that way
No more blood for oil, we got our own battles to fight on our soil
No more psychological warfare to trick us to think that we ain't loyal
If we don't serve our own country we're patronizing a hero
Look in his eyes, it's all lies, the stars and stripes
They've been swiped, washed out and wiped,
And Replaced with his own face, mosh now or die
If I get sniped tonight you'll know why, because I told you to fight

So come along, follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark, that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength,
Come with me, and I won't stear you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
Till the light, at the end, of the tunnel, we gonna fight,
We gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march through the swamp
We gonna mosh through the marsh, take us right through the doors


And as we proceed, to mosh through this desert storm, in these closing statements, if they should argue, let us beg to differ, as we set aside our differences, and assemble our own army, to disarm this weapon of mass destruction that we call our president, for the present, and mosh for the future of our next generation, to speak and be heard, Mr. President, Mr. Senator

3. Only one problem
I like the idea, except the unedited version has the lyrics F**K BUSH!. Probably not appropriate for the lil' ones. Does anyone know of an edited download available (like they play on MTV)?

4. With low income trick or treaters you get a lot of teens
The teen hip hop fans are already listening to profanity.

5. MOSH
Very intense - even with just visuals. Black hoods; black panthers. Huge impact on a non-rapper.
