Moveon.org will be passing out leaflets in your area, here is a leaflet and a way to counter this

[Michaelman]

Here is the leaflet:

Here is where you can go to find out where these anti-war protesters will be passing out their leaflets.

http://www.moveon.org/leaflets/

Some organizers provide email links. Write them and ask them where they plan on handing out the leaflets, that way you can counter their initiatives.

[whoozit]

Did you read the instructions for the people who are going to be handing out the propaganda?

Be outgoing and friendly. At least one or two people in your group should take on the role of "announcer." He or she should tell everyone passing by what you're doing. "Take a fact sheet on the war! Sign a petition telling Bush to Let the Inspections Work. Get the facts on the war!" That kind of thing. In a friendly, personable, tone, announce your message to the people passing by. At least half of the people passing by your leafleting team are against the war (probably more!) -- let them know what you're doing. Feel good about what you're doing: you're not pushing people to sign something, you're giving them an opportunity to make their voice heard.

Leafleting Ground Rules. We are thousands of strangers getting together across the country for the first time. To make this work, it's important that we are all on the same page about what it is we're doing and how we're going to do it.

Educate, don't irritate. We won't gain anything by making people feel bad. We're simply offering information to people who have not yet made up their minds. Also, we're allowing people who don't want a war to sign a petition to President Bush. There will be more people that fit into those two categories than your leafleting team can handle -- so there's no need to harass or harangue the minority of people who support the Bush's war plan.

Don't argue. Thousands of MoveOn members are hitting the streets to offer information to the curious and undecided (the vast majority of the population). We're not going out to get into arguments with people who have already made up their minds. Our message to people who are pro-war is this: "We live in a Democracy. We fully support the troops. We are not at war yet, and we are just trying to make our opinion heard before the final decision is made."

Holy cow.. they are under a major delusion.

Better yet, volunteer to hand them out, go pick up a box... take them home and burn 'em!

[Michaelman]

I'm printing out a couple hundred of these leaflets and passing them out this weekend.

Moveon.org has a leaflet passout planned for tomorrow in the Dallas area.

[SirFishalot]

Better yet, volunteer to hand them out, go pick up a box, litter your neighborhood with them, then get together with your neighbors and sue the organizers for illegal dumping. LOL

Here's another way to get the Iraq Brochure:

THE BROCHURE ON IRAQ TO COUNTER THE PEACENIKS AND TO INFORM REAL AMERICANS ON THE REAL REASONS WHY THE US AND OUR ALLIES ARE GOING TO IRAQ ... TO LIBERATE IRAQ!

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! Right Click on picture and then select "Save Target As"

[OldFriend]

Just say, thanks but I have all the toilet paper I need.

[jiggyboy]

It looks like one of these is pretty close to my house, so I'll be there.

Here's my strategy:
- Print up a bunch of my own leaflets, maybe the ones here.
- Volunteer to pass out the anti-war leaflets; go there and get a big pile.
- A little sleight of hand: pocket the anti-war leaflets, quietly pass out my own.
- Don't get involved in arguments &c until I'm caught.

Comments?

If any Arizona FReepers want to FReep the Peaceniks,
see #6 for Anti-war Leaflet handout locations...

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Arizona ping list!. . .don't be shy.

[HiJinx]

I understand Tempe, Tucson, Phoenix, and Flagstaff...lots of useful idiots from the three major State Universities.

But Yuma? In the heart of USMC country?

Sonoita? Those folks are ranchers, gun enthusiasts, etc. He!!, they'd be better off having dinner and discussing Peace in Bisbee. At least there, they'd be in good company. Bisbee is a time warp, they're still living in the 60s!

[Britton J Wingfield]

Yuma is more like the heart of AARP country.

[HiJinx]

Hmmm...hadn't thought of that.

[hollywood]

These socialists are basically saying that they are against our military troops helping those (Iraqis) in need. Ironically, they have no problem calling the police to come to their neighbor's house if they hear what sounds like abuse to them. Somehow, we have to get that analogy in print: "If you don't support the war against Saddam, then you support wife-beating and child abuse. Think about it."

[MeekOneGOP]

Check this out, just fyi...

Tony Blair: The price of my conviction

Excerpt:

But there are also consequences of 'stop the war'. There will be no march for the victims of Saddam, no protests about the thousands of children that die needlessly every year under his rule, no righteous anger over the torture chambers which if he is left in power, will remain in being.

I rejoice that we live in a country where peaceful protest is a natural part of our democratic process. But I ask the marchers to understand this.

I do not seek unpopularity as a badge of honour. But sometimes it is the price of leadership and the cost of conviction.

If there are 500,000 on the [Stop the War] march, that is still less than the number of people whose deaths Saddam has been responsible for. If there are one million, that is still less than the number of people who died in the wars he started.

So if the result of peace is Saddam staying in power, not disarmed, then I tell you there are consequences paid in blood for that decision too. But these victims will never be seen, never feature on our TV screens or inspire millions to take to the streets. But they will exist none the less.

President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair of England walk out to address the media in Cross Hall at the White House Nov. 7. "We've got no better friend in the world than Great Britain," said the President during his remarks. White House photo by Paul Morse.

[NewLand]

Inspections will work, if by inspections they mean an autopsy of Saddam...
