How do we CONVINCE people that America is not safe in Bush's hands
Whilst we talk of fascism (see WilliamPitts article in this forum which is great) and the rise of the 3-branch Reich, how do we now convince the public that America is NOT safe in Bush's hands. Again and again we hear in the media and in polls that a fair proportion of the public trust Bush with their lives. Just yesterday a caller on CSPAN radio was criticizing the program for laying into Bush on matters of national security and he praised Bush for keeping us safe. This is also what we heard canvassing in the 2004 election.

What can we do to get through to this section of the public?

1. Good question. I have been thinking about it for a while and hope someone
can come up with better answers. I just keep posting truth links on "neutral" messageboards like AOL and hope that it will lead people to investigate more than the few paragraphs I cut and paste.

That is how I found the truth sites, though was always a Dem, I used the Internet to look up arts and spiritual and medical sites. Only after Kerry's dive did I start following the links for truthsites on AOL to find out what had happened.

5. Our members of Congress could do a lot more leg work
If they would fork out and deliver letters to thir constituents every month and knock on their doors giving them the real story. We did this on a local level and it worked wonders. Big vote. Even though the local press would run their spin people believed the letters.

2. Good question
I think that's something that BUSH would have to convince people of. I'm not sure anyone else could make the believers believe differently.

They are brain dead or not paying attention.

7. 9/11 is a clear indication to me of their incompetence.

Although for freeper minded folks, it somehow reinforces their belief that Bush keeps them safe. It makes no common sense to me.
