It's getting to be the scariest time of the year and the Republicans are running scared. They're turning to the politics of fear in desperation. Boogeymen like Bill Ayers and voter fraud have been brought out. The specter of racism looms over their rallies.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to bring out the thing that scares them the most: the truth.
How do we do that, you ask? We bring it to their door. We truth-or-treat.
The idea behind truth-or-treating is simple. On Halloween night, we go door to door canvassing, preferably armed with fliers detailing the Republicans tricks and Obama's truths. Instead of getting candy, we give out information.
Who can truth-or-treat? Anyone. If you're staying home to give out candy, give out information with the sweet stuff. Parents can give out fliers while walking with their kids. And all of us who are "too old" to go trick-or-treating can dress up and go door-to-door, just like we used to.
What should you wear? Anything you want (though going as a clown might not help our cause). I would advise going as Barack or Michelle Obama. One of my friends is going as Jesus. I keep telling him that he should ask people if they've heard the good news about Obama. Maybe there can be a group of famous community organizers, like Gandhi and Susan B. Anthony out there canvassing for Obama.
This Halloween, let's give the Republicans nightmares. To paraphrase Kos, leave it all on your neighbor's walk.
