Thanks to cheeselord,
http://www.dailykos.com/... I was inspired to start my own "had Enough" campaign. Beginning quite modestly, I took all of the bills I had, 15 of them in varying denominations, and wrote, "Had Enough? - Vote Democratic" in indelible pen.
Eager to begin, and with great anticipation, I began my campaign at lunchtime at Taco Bell. I used two "campaign bills' to pay.
I got a response! My first try!
The clerk, and older woman, just smiled. She got it immediately. "YES I HAVE!" Her response was loud and clear. "I'm sick of this. I can hardly afford to drive to work. And, did you hear about those two soldiers, we've got to get out of this mess. My nephew is in Iraq. I am so worried about him."
My order arrived and I left, smiling. This is good stuff, I thought.
Next try. I went to buy some gas. Used a twenty and a ten. The guy in line behind me saw it first. "Ha...that's pretty good...did you do that?" "Yeah," I responded. " I had to do something. Bush is driving me crazy."
We chatted for a few minutes. His issues were wages, tax cuts for the rich, tuition costs ( his daughter just graduated) and gas prices.
I am amazed by how easy this is. And how effective. That was yesterday. Two political conversations that I never would have had otherwise.
Great idea cheeselord! Think of how far those bills will travel. Think of what would happen if we all did this.
And, it is FREE!
