8/21/2003 04:11:00 PM | Brad Plumer Flood the Zone Fridays.... Speaking of George Bush's website, Ezra Klein over at Not Geniuses has a cute little idea: get the left-leaning part of the blogosphere to commandeer the Action Center page on Bush's website (which allows you to send form letters praising Bush to local newspapers),a nd start sending out anti-W invectives. Ezra explains: Matt Singer and I originally conceived of this as a project for the DDF, but we quickly realized this wasn't candidate specific -- this is for every lefty in America. So here is what we propose. We want to get a coalition together -- every influential and non-influential lefty site with the ability to direct readers and members over to the Bush action tools. And every Friday, we want to use those tools to write letters and make calls highlighting a different part of the Bush disaster. This Friday will be fiscal irresponsibility day -- where we blanket the media with calls and letters about Bush's absurd fiscal policies. We're even going to get you the info, for instance, behold the Bush Record (if you're not a Dean supporter, just ignore the stuff about Dean).Sounds fun enough, and if it helps scuttle Bush's poll numbers even further, then no harm done, eh? I say everyone on this site should join up. Plus we get to feel all cool and subversive. Oooohh.... Update: Ezra does a little troubleshooting. perma link |
