In today's Washington Post
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A33798-2004Aug25.html there is talk of Black voter suppression. And, of course, Democrats can't win elections without the Black vote. So I was thinking, as an African American, how can we turn this suppression into a huge GOTV effort. And it came to me. If someone were to run a commercial specifically saying that the GOP is engaging in dirty tricks to suppress the Black vote - that would have a two-pronged effect. First, it would get heavy press coverage. And second, it would get Blacks to the polls in a huge way.
Thus I think we need to start a huge email drive to 527's et. al. to get them to make a commercial about this. The more inflammatory, the better.

Post more email addresses of organizations and lets get a huge e-mail drive going. Although it would probably be better if the NAACP released the ad.
