There are grassroots movements in rural America today trying to reverse the effects of conservative groups who have been flooding rural America with conservative propaganda. One such group is Rural Americans United.
Rural Americans United was born in Central Washington, and is the brainchild of Doug White. Doug ran an unsuccessful campaign for US House of Representatives in Washington’s 4th District, and his experience showed him that there is a wide chasm between the messaging that Democrats need to get out, and what people in rural Washington are actually hearing. He discovered that 80% of those living in Central Washington State were hearing absolutely no positive, Democratic messages. Instead, they are being bombarded by conservative messages from rural “talk radio” and other conservative outlets.
The conservative message is so pervasive in Rural America that it will take a lot of effort to undo the damage that has been done. We cannot allow conservative hate politics to be the only option presented to rural areas. The need for positive messaging is critical.
Rural Americans United is currently planning on investing $350,000 on radio ads which will provide positive Democratic messaging to Central and Eastern Washington. Doug cannot do the job alone. He is looking for volunteers and donations to help spread the good messaging to all of Rural America.
Please take a few minutes to visit their website and find out how you can help. Consider starting a chapter in your own area. There are volunteer and donation forms on the website. With enough effort, we are bound to make a difference.
Thank you for your time and whatever you can give.
