Framing/Reframing Project suggestions:
Social Security--this is hot, hot, hot.
Under the wire stuff:
The draft--despite denials, this is coming.
U.S.'s own nuclear policy--edging ever closer to armageddon. See:
http://www.alternet.org/story/21358/
Depleted Uranium--talk about the devil's workshop and killing our own people.
Bankruptcy laws--how to keep people from getting out from under crushing dept.
Usury laws/predatory lending--how people get into monunmental debt. See Debtor Nation: http://www.alternet.org/story/21356/
Environmental policy--dirty skies, poisoning lakes and rivers, clearcutting forests, tainted food, etc.
Health care and pharmaceuticals.
Overall, this administration is utterly heartless. Where is the compassion it talked about?
I think we need to start looking for their greatest weaknesses--which means doing serious intelligence gathering on under the wire issues--and start developing frames and talking points for rapid deployment. It is time to become, in the words of Al Franken, attack dogs going for the jugular, or the balls.
In the words of Sun-tzu:
Warfare is the art of deceit. Therefore, when able, seem to be unable; when ready, seem unready; when nearby, seem far away; and when far away, seem near. If the enemy seeks some advantage, entice him with it. If he is in disorder, attack him and take him. If he is formidable, prepare against him. If he is strong, evade him. If he is incensed, provoke him. If he is humble, encourage his arrogance. If he is rested, wear him down. If he is internally harmonious, sow divisiveness in his ranks. Attack where his not prepared; go by way of places where it would never occur to him you would go. These are the military startegist's calculations for victory--these cannot be settled in advance. [These must be assessed on the battlefield on the fly, but based on really good intelligence gained in advance of arriving on the battlefield--paraphrased].
Feel free to recommend. Or not.
