| I ran across a column last night by one of the columnists at the E-N who has always had a Republican slant. Jonathan Gurwitz slammed Obama's voting record and tried assert that Obama not as bipartisan as McCain. Reviewing the data showed that Gurwitz had only told part of the story. In reality Obama has reached across the aisle more times on key votes than McCain. The record also shows that McCain has the worst voting record in the Senate, even with a shorter campaign schedule than Obama.
However no one in the San Antonio Obama team, namely Alamobama, even responded with some truth. That shocked me and bothered me. For all the action and drive of this group someone has to respond with truth and facts. The opposition has been spewing even more untruths that needed to be countered. I have been trying to but we need more.
If we're going to own this election we have to own it on ALL channels. I challenge netrooters to watch the local papers and push forward the facts. Make sure no column, story, or opinion that does not show the truth go unanswered. We need to get out of the "echo chamber" and get in to the open if we really want to make a difference. |

| Take the time and read beyond the columns and stories. Every major newspaper offers a place for reader comments. Make the comments. Be sure you have the facts but get the message out and counter the opposition. It is so critical to own the channel and voice to make sure the public gets the right message.
If you haven't registered with your local paper, do so. If you have continually monitor those papers for every possible negative position that could be taken, regardless of the section. Get your friends to get in the mix and do the same.
Turn Texas Blue one message and vote at a time! |
