i'm ambivalent about sloganeering.  as sloganeering goes, however, this
one's pretty good.

Subject: [austinmediapeace] Regime Change begins at home




Hey,

I just got a sign for my car that says "Regime Change Begins
at Home. Vote."  You can download one, too, at:

http://www.moveon.org/PAC_regimechange2/

Here's why I think it's important:

The Bush Administration is brilliant at marketing.  The folks that
are working for Bush are so good at this that if you watch the news,
you get the idea that everyone agrees with him.

Of course, we all know that that's not true.  Most Americans are quite
wary of the war on Iraq, and a whole lot of us see the President as
playing a cynical election-year game.  The problem is that without the
attention of the media, this dissent is hard to see -- ordinary people
don't hold press conferences to tell the world what they're thinking.

That's where we can help.  MoveOn.org PAC put together a placard
that you can put in your car window.  You can download the placard for
free at:

http://www.moveon.org/PAC_regimechange2/

If enough of us download these, print 'em up, and stick them on our
car or in our windows, we can begin to create a culture of engagement
and patriotic dissent.  We'll amplify our voices.  We'll help to elect
the candidates who can help us out of this mess.  And we'll help to
fire
the ones that are on board for Bush's endless war.

With your help, we can out-market the masters.
