What are the dems doing in response to 60 cities in 60 days?

Aside from the radio ads, that is. I remember extremely well )and it is also is decribed in detail by both
Woodwardx and Broder)that the rethugs and their minions positively hounded the Clintons during their bus tour to promote Health Care reform--counter rallies, high profile counter-speakers, protests, ads on TV and radio, surrogates booked on local media, everything. They won.

A quick search of local and national mediastories done during chimps "tour," yeilds mentions of ads and little else. If we're not going all out to fight chimp's media stunt, can someone tell me why?

1. Dem senators have held some town halls

in the last week. Beyond that, I don't know.

2. We don't have the money that big business can donate for propaganda.

4. /nah, there's plenty of money.

Labor alone could pay for a major counter-operation with petty cash, not to mention dozens of advocacy groups. What happened to moveon's gazillion volunteers? What's DFA doing? How about Kerry? Edwards,anyone? What we're talking about is the same problem--the same people refusing yet again an opportunity to win.

3. They can follow the advertisement money.

As retaliation, write letters to the editor. It's for free. Just don't astro turf. Contact dems in everyone of those cities and have them write letters to the editor advising people that the Bush propaganda is on the way. Let each of them find their own perspective.

5. Touring. Watch your e-mails. You'll know. nt

6. Dick Durbin is doing town hall meetings as are others.

The MSM just doesn't tell you about them, like they do Whistleass's trips.
