With less than 50 days until the election & an electorate whose undecideds or 'swing voters' are responding predominately to attacks or negative speeches, it is time to respond in kind. Perhaps it is a post 9/11 desire to see strength, or just an overall cultural shift, but the above the fray tactics of the past are not working. The time to hit hard is here & we are willing to air these and other ads. Here are some existing & developing spots or ideas:
Existing radio spots can be heard at www.truthandhope.org which target disgruntled Republicans.
A NEW TV spot entitled 'New Leadership' can be viewed here: http://www.democracyforwisconsin.com/images/america_deserves2.wmv
or Quicktime: http://www.democracyforwisconsin.com/images/america_deserves2.mov
- This spot was member submitted. We are changing the music & adding a voice over, plus we may split it into three 30 second spots. Your thoughts?
We are developing a series of Bush: In his own words spots. Let Bush's gaffes & flip flops speak for themselves, period.
A SBVT parody using the same style & format of the originals, but depicting Bush as a "hero" for saving the weekly TANG poker game, by acting decisively when the beer was missing. He 'saved' them all. When the chips (poker) were down "during" the vietnam war you could count on Geirge W. Bush.
A splitscreen of Bush reading 'My pet goat' with the kids and the Trade Center towers at the exact same moments, sped up to cover the whole 7 minutes in about 52 seconds. Intro with Bush's quote that he wants to be judged by his handling of 9/11.
We can air these & others, but we need your help:
Unfortunately money makes the world go around, particularly in this election cycle & we need it too. If you can help please do so at www.truthandhope.org by clicking on the 'donate' button.
We need volunteers with experience with or access to tools needed for TV & radio production. Our past media was always created with volunteers across the country, save for two occasions. This allows you to get involved, or even make your ideas a reality, and keeps our costs down which allows us to buy more media time.
We need your ideas & feedback. This is invaluable. The grassroots has the pulse of the voters, this is how we create media that is effective, by listening first.
The grassroots led the way when not so long ago the pundits said Bush was unbeatable, or that to have a chance a candidate must be nearly identical. While the campaign hesitates under vicious attacks, we must lead the way again by creating & airing the messages with the aggressive tone which the voters are responding to, but based on truth, which they have not yet seen.
Time is short, but there is still time. Please help how you can. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, ideas, anything please comment here and/or contact me at eugene@truthandhope.org
