What can we do to help Boxer out?

[smartvoter]

She says she's being attacked. Do we start blitzing the media, claiming that she's become a target for shedding light on questionable election irregularities?

Any other/better ideas? Let's get a plan together and start working on it.

[bush_is_wacko]

1. I think we should start by finding the story the thugs are trying to put

out. Then we can debunk the story, come up with the name of the source of the story and smear the hell out of him/her! That is taking a page right out of the thug's own play book. Any idea what the story is?

[smartvoter]

2. I don't. Anyone have specs on the attacks? nt

[Der Blaue Engel]

3. I think the letter said "stay tuned"

As in, sign up for her mailing list on her website. She says she's going to keep everyone on her list updated on what's happening.

I wouldn't want to go off half-cocked.

10. I signed up. That is a lot of checks to make for an email list, since I

want all that infomation, plus election reform information.

4. Check the Riverside Press-Tribune or its archives.

L believe they ran a very negative piece on Boxer right after the vote challenge, around the 7th or so.

6. I found a Riverside Tribune in Chicago, but nothing in CA

Are you talking a California newspaper? I think we might be jumping the gun here. Boxer's letter said she would have more to come. She can point us in the right direction at least.

8. Riverside Press (I think it's Press-Tribune)

[smartvoter]

9. Agreed. We should know what it is first. nt

5. Great idea!

I'm sure they'll be out to get her now.

7. As...

I toss my hair back and grab my fur...I'm ready for a major throw-down with any evil Repube who attacks my home-girl! Start emailing, letter writing and phone calling Repulsive Repube Reps. and tell them GET THE FUNK OUT OF BAB'S FACE!!

[chomskysright]

11. RIGHT ON! I wrote her asking her to tell us how we could help her

[bush_is_wacko]

12. Good. We need to know what she is refering to to fight it n/t

[keepthemhonest]

13. What did I miss?

What are they trying to make up about boxer?

14. My letter to Boxer

I signed up for her mailing list on her website, and then sent her a thank you note:

Dear Senator Boxer:

Just wanted to thank you so much for standing up for the voters of this country last week and speaking out about the trampling of the civil rights of the citizens of Ohio.

It was the first glimmer of hope I've had since November 2. I was never prouder to be one of your constituents.

You took on the "schoolyard bullies," knowing full well that their parents ran the school board and would dismiss your complaints. As everyone who's ever been the scrawny kid in the schoolyard knows, that was a VICTORY.

You have many, many supporters who will rally behind you when the bullies come back, as they inevitably do, to try to retaliate.

Again, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

15. I called her SF office and waxed eloquent and let her know, we're

not going away any time soon.

[flyarm]

17. I'm in Colorado, but I'm not going anywhere either!

Boxer stood up for all Americans on the 6th. As far as I'm concerned she is like the temporary president to me. I'm only keeping tabs on the other one to make sure he doesn't throw any more temper tantrums.

I mean * when I say "other one"

[Timebound]

18. Letters, votes, ect.

RIGHT ON. She stood up for us, now lets stand up for her!

[Amaryllis]

19. Keep checking this thread. Someone asked her staff to let us know how to

help her. Thank God for the internet!

20. Teach your friends/family in California about what she did, have them help

as well - help broaden her base while we have her back!

[berniew1]

21. I don't think she has a problem. Just document the case against her oppo

opponents and educate the public. There are lots of ways, and the issues are on her side.

[autorank]

22. Anyone going after Boxer needs to FEEL THE LASH; critical test of our site

We were central in making this happen. Now, we need to fight for our warrior. If we even get 1/2 of the 60k users here ginned up in e-activist mode like we were for the 1/6/05 vote, it will teach people a major lesson.

I think the thing to watch is Gov. Gropinator. If he thinks he can throw his steroid addled body around, he will.

Let's get ready to rummmmmmmmmmmble!!!

[rumpel]

23. Once we know what she is referring to, we'll have to contact the

fellow senators and write write write to the editors. They only pick a few comments a day. When they receive tons of it, it will increase the chances of having it published/aired.

[Garbo 2004]

24. Well Boxer has a PAC so that's something she no doubt wants supported..

Here's the site: http://www.pacforachange.com/

As to what other specific support she may want/need, I imagine she'll let people know via her mailing list.
