Small Effective and Inexpensive Things We Can Do to Educate the Masses...Ideas Please
7/08/09 | vanity

Posted on 07/08/2009 5:29:09 PM PDT by lovesdogs

I saw it mentioned on another thread that a rubber stamp asking "Where is the birth certificate" used on currency might get a buzz going. Of course that are many other messages that might be effective too. "The deficit is rising xx dollars every day", Are you better off now than you were on 1/20/09" and many others come to mind.

While I am not suggesting that anyone actually deface dollar bills since this is illegal, there must be great creative people here on FR that can come up with other ideas. One for example might be writing a message on every bill that you still pay by mail or leaving a message on every public bulletin board of which you know.

The internet is not enough. There are lots of people who do not know about the BC controversy, cap and trade, the volunteer corps (including Mel Martinez on that one), the fact that Obama's initials were once BS, that his father was Muslim and so he is as well...and on and on.

My Republican club meeting is is a whole bunch of older folks who for the most part are floored when the club president educates them about the stuff the MSM ignores each meeting. I figure if we could each reach one indie or blue dog dem and get them researching all of the stuff we know by heart it might take hold. You know grass roots, the tea party spirit and all. Any ideas anyone?

Post signs outside unemployment offices that read, “How’s that Hope and Change working out for you?”

Start by telling them NEVER say Cap and Trade, say the Electricity, Heating Oil and Gasoline Tax Bill....

Lots and lots of Birth Certificate jokes.
“Where was Obama born?”
“I don’t know, but we’ve got three good guesses.”
“Which hospital was Obama born at?”
“Depends on which of his choices are willing to take the blame.”

It’s humor, but it carries the message and the doubts.

NOTE: I am starting to write an Obama joke book. These are freebies, but would be happy to discuss options with anyone.

I’ve been thinking of stapling sheets on telephone poles. Someone has to get to the folks that only watch CBS news and Comedy Central.

Just point them to this page. If they have more than two brain cells to rub together, they'll get the point immediately.

What’s the difference between Obama and God?

God doesn’t think he’s Obama.

Holy cow...That is really a scary website. I think I understand how my dogs feel when it thunders and they crawl into the nearest closet.

I've considered getting post-it notes printed up with “Where's the Birth Certificate”? ..or... “Who is John Galt?”

I could leave them on the windows of other car when I use a parking lot. I could put them on the window of the restrooms I use, or on the soda machine when I get my daily Mountain Dew. How about on a box of Rice Crispies when I am in the supermarket.

I do know that I've seen currency with a pink dye on it. I think the gays do this to show that the currency has passed through the hands of a homosexual.

Back to basics of education:

Reading & comprehension...
Rudimental math skills
Critical thinking...
Deductive & inductive reasoning...

The philosophical changes that need to be made are all essentially "no-cost" items...

jmho...
