somehwhere SHOULD have been somewhere
I know that not every FReeper lives in California, but IMHO, we will all BENEFIT from having a Republican governor here, and we will all LOSE if Californians cannot "Dump DAVIS!"
In addition to being the incumbent, and having the left-wing media on his campaign staff, Davis has BUCKETS of money to use in a traditional attack.
It is my hope that FReepers in California (and elsewhere) can help elect Bill Simon by running low-cost, but highly effective "guerilla" operations.
The union thugs and government lackeys will ALWAYS vote the straight RAT ticket, but perhaps we can "plant the seed" into enough minds of as-yet "undecided" voters that Gray Davis is a corrupt, bribe-taking, political favor-granting WHORE.
We MUST prevail.
You're quite welcome, O humble servant....hehe
Our signs featured a picture of Warner next to a toilet and had the "Dump Warner" logo above it.LOL! Great idea!
Our problem here is also to communicate WHY to "Dump DAVIS."
Perhaps voters here will blame him - rightfully - for grossly mismanaging the "energy crisis" here, but they might just as well blame the folks from Enron, in this era of corporate mistrust.
IMHO, Davis is UNIQUELY vulnerable to charges of sellling favors, and images of him as a prostitute - because it is TRUE!
Even his supporters acknowledge that Gray Davis is a money-generating MACHINE.
Articles about his "Pay for Play" actions have been published even in the hard-core leftist L.A. Times and San Francisco Chronicle, not to mention DEVASTATING pieces from the Sacramento Bee.
We need to drive home the message that this corruption is BAD, and that Bill Simon will be GOOD.
More than using images of "Gray Davis the incompetent energy czar," though - as accurate as they may be - I think that we need to focus on images of Gray Davis the CORRUPT, the WHORE, the PROSTITUTE - who will take money from ANYBODY, to do ANYTHING.
Dump bump!
How BIG are those Styrofoam cutouts?
I think you will be successful. Just a hunch, but I think the voters will, in the end, flock to Simon. And not only because of the rightness of his views, but I think the "likeability" factor will play a big role.
I will do my part by sending a financial contribution to the Simon campaign.
And ... if we should decide to "join you" - where will you be doing this "theatre".How about having a "Dump DAVIS" FReep in good ol' used-to-be-solidly Republican ORANGE COUNTY?
In a parody on the Stephen Sondheim musical, Sunday in the Park with George (1984), we could a "Sunday at the Dump with Gray" DumpDAVIS FReep at the Olinda Alpha Landfill in Brea, just north of the Nixon Library.
We should be able to get coverage from the Orange County Register, the new conservative radio station KPLS (830-AM), and perhaps some local TV stations?
Orange Couny has nicer dumps than L.A. County does:
After seeing your cutout, I can see how this butthead Davis REALLY DOES resemble Beavis!Separated at birth?
Will Cool Guy dress up as "Super SIMON?"Either way, WHERE is a good place to hold a "Dump DAVIS" FReep (or SEVERAL FReeps) up your way?
(Or, vice versa?)
