A couple of weeks ago I heard what may be a salacious rumor about a congress person (R-NM), and perhaps a wedge to bring said rethug down.
There are problems though:
- I'm not a media person. I don't have any idea how to bring this sort of thing to public attention, beyond writing a letter to the editor which would never be published by my local right wing newpaper. There's been a little media coverage of some of the issues involved here, but it's mostly been shut up.
- I feel queasy about spreading this. I'm active with a group of democrats, and have gone two precinct meetings intending to inform my cohorts of the information I've received, but every time I start bringing it up, I feel gross. I've always hated gossip. Which may account for my lack of skills in spreading it.
I really do understand that sometimes for a greater good it's important to hold your nose and fight dirty. I'm looking for some tips ( and, I guess, some better rationalizations).
