Hey, Kara. You are dedicated! Standing in front of the grocery store is a great idea, I wish you the best of luck. I was trying to think of what I could do to help and then reread Dave's post about calling people in Iowa. I'll start calling random people in the codes 270, 502, 606, and 859. Are there any cities in Kentucky that are considered more progressive than others?

Glad to see some new threads on here. I got kind of depressed after so little coming out of the campaign in december and from this board kind of dying...
But yeah I definitely encourage you to call people. I called people in my local area code in maryland with a push poll in favor of Gravel. And while these tactics may be frowned upon they are very effective in getting his name out, and the main reason they're so 'frowned upon' by the media is because they work and they actually get people excited about being polled, and get the truth out! Which is what this election should be about!
So yes I'll put a script up for push polling in the other section a little later today, but first I'd like to get your inputs on what you think should go in it, I'll put up a basic idea that I've been using and you guys can improve on it.
caller: I'm calling to poll you on the presidential election, with (poll name) If you have X minutes of time to talk, I'd like to get your current stances.
First I'd like to know just two things, if you're eligible to vote and your name
Name the candidates that you have heard about.
(probably name hillary obama romney rudy and edwards)
ok, now that we know this I want to ask you if you've heard the name of this presidential contender, Mike Gravel.
(probably no, but if yes)
how much have you heard about him. Do you know his stances on (name issues)
Did you know he's been excluded coverage for his contreversial views according to the media
But do you know that these views are just simply getting out of Iraq now, instead of later, which most of the country wants, and replacing the IRS with a working progressive fair tax, as well as implementing a national ballot initiative allowing the people to bypass congress to make important laws, when our inept legislative gov't is unable to?
Knowing this would you consider supporting Gravel in the primary, as he is the only candidate to firmly hold the stance of immediate withdrawal (I know its a half lie but so what)
Could you support a candidate with no firm date set to get out of Iraq and who hasn't even promised a withdrawal plan?
Do you know that all of the democratic and republican candidates you mentioned earlier hold that stance?
Now that you have learned about Mike Gravel a serious contender for office, would you consider voting for?
who else would you consider voting for, knowing the information about the other candidates?
Do you have any questions on any individual candidates positions, that I may make known to you?
Alright thank you for your time. Your input is appreciated. Make sure to vote in this important election.
that's a rough idea. also practice before you call people, because it gets easier with a little practice and you might mess up if you just call right away. Good luck, feel free to make your own similar scripts. And for fun you can record your results and post em on here!
GRAVEL 08 anything else is insanity.

Thank you, Dave! I'm going to start in the 606 area code because that's the one with the most cities. K, hang in there Kara!

Too lazy to login lol,
just keep gravel's link to his stances on the issues close to you. If you need help with any bizarre issue questions just say that you don't know. And refer to website. Good luck. GO TEAM GRAVEL!

Yeah I don't know, just ask them to consider their actual stances if they care about the future of America. Also guys please try to call into cspans morning show and show your support for Mike Gravel. A lot of Ron Paulers have called in, so lets show them Gravel's got game too!
Call cspan the numbers posted on the show...
and call people during regular hours...
