If you haven't sent in your DCCC 2007 New Directions Survey, here's an idea...

[derby378]

Let's show Chairman Chris Van Hollen what we really think of his watered-down survey. Answer all the questions as indicated, and then, under Part X: Additional Comments, write "See Supplement A." Then staple your own "Supplement A" into the survey and mail it in.

Examples from my own version of Supplement A:

How important is it for Congress to work towards an immediate end to the occupation of Iraq?
 Very important  Somewhat important  Not important, let Bush do whatever he wants

How important is it for Congress to repeal the Military Commissions Act, which legalizes torture and suspends habeas corpus?
 Very important  Somewhat important  Not important, we weren’t using the Bill of Rights anyway

How aggressively should Democrats pursue impeachment of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney?
 Not at all, let them get away with their crimes against America  Not very aggressively
 Somewhat aggressively  Very aggressively
 So aggressively that punk rockers flee from our sight and the RNC wets its pants in fear

Play around with the concept, and enjoy!
