It seems that every time a foreign journalist uncovers and revels some wrongdoing by the Bush administration, there is ponderous musings in US media as to why they didn’t catch that story. That type of talk, of course, causes any sane American to tear out large clumps of hair and to bang the now unevenly bald head against the nearest wall.
I just want to throw this idea out there for hearty debate. I propose that people who are concerned about the American people getting the truth become ‘guerilla advertisers.” By this I mean that we leave leaflets with the truth about the war, the erosion of civil liberties, etc. in unusual, but very public places. Restrooms, grocery stores, libraries, books stores, you name it, we’ll leave “truth leaflets” there. For example, excerpts of the DSM story could be posted in a bathroom stall near you. That isn’t meant to diminish the story, but to inform people in unexpected ways.
I propose starting in those areas that were barely blue or almost blue (a great Elvis Costello song). If teams could somehow coordinate, there could be unifying themes nationwide.
Just a thought. Tell me what you think, I can take it.
