I think this “awareness week” stuff is being held only on college campuses. It’s not a bad idea, IMO. Colleges have been going left for a while now. Horowitz has been focussing on what’s happening at colleges, whether it’s the professors, curriculum, freedom of speech, you name it.

My understanding is that, while curricula and professors are uniformly liberal ... actual college enrollees are more conservative than they’ve ever been. I could be wrong about that ... but I certainly seem to recall studies to that effect.

Maybe in a focused way (i.e. targeted at colleges) - a particularly targeted “awareness” campaign could do some good. Personally - I think there are better methods. College students don’t vote in particularly large numbers ... and those that are already avowed leftists won’t be affected by any awareness campaigns.
We’re undoubtedly losing the propaganda war here ... so that certainly needs an overhaul. The President should tour the country and do a better job selling the War on Terror, the congressional Republicans should unite behind him (perhaps with another Contract with America).
It just seems kinda pathetic that we’ve got the bully pulpit, and we’re adopting the tactics of dope-smoking hippies with no power whatsoever. We’re not going to win a propaganda war against terrorists with an “awareness campaign”.
