Reply #7: or how about this? [View All]

rather than making it a one-shot-deal, here's an idea.

EVERYONE READING THIS:

if you agree it is good to get the message out beyond DU, take a guesstimate of how much time you spend on DU per day, or per week, or whatever.

Now promise yourself to pry yourself from DU for a certain percentage of that time from this point on.

i'd say 20% is a good place to start. Do it every day, not just a one-shot-deal. Certainly won't prevent you from getting all the hot news on DU.

So take 20% of the time you spend on DU and go out to other non-related newsgroups and spread the word. Be civil. focus on facts. don't argue, be nice. show that you're a smart person not a conspiracy nut.

I think you'll find that the conversations you have will be just as rewarding (if not even more so) on these other groups. When you find a newbie who says "wow, thanks for showing me that. I thought something was up" You'll feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

but as you all know, this is not about feeling warm and fuzzy. it's about saving our country and our democracy.

Let's get the word out.

peace,
gary
