Letters to the Editor

Will the 2008 election be dominated by the same type of small-minded, petty distractions that have characterized the last several decades of elections?
  • What we can do.

    This is our time to stand up and be heard. Send letters to editors when you read something offensive. Mock them and demand real information. When your friends talk about someone's hairstyle or photo-op, point out that the real question is how good a President (or other elected official) they're going to be. If they repeat it, mock them.

    Someone referred to the Republicans as the Party of Fear on this blog the other day; I jumped on that and will never refer to them as anything else again.

    This is the time for a strong offense. We have to mercilessly pummel them with logic and reason.
