1. don't think of an elephant

Here in Essex County, NJ, one DFA meet-up is going to talk about ways of reframing the message, if that is the correct phrase. Based on a book by George Lakoff, Don't Think of an Elephant. It's about something that the Republicans seem to be good at already. If you tell someone not to think of an elephant, what do they do? They think of an elephant (forgive me if I am explaining something already very familiar).

The book is available at www.DFAbooklist.org, and there are essays posted on the Rockridge Institute website at www.rockridgeinstitute.org.

We need to learn to frame the message. Rove is a master.
