Less than half the eligible population voted in 2000, less than half of those who voted, voted for George. Do the math: less than 25% of America supported George! The majority of Americans consider themselves independent, if they vote, they vote for the candidate that appeals to them the most, not a candidate from a specific party, and let’s be frank, a lot of people vote for who they think will win, everyone loves a winner. Independent voters will choose the president in 2004. If they believe that George is the best man for the job and no one tells them any differently, he will win. However, if enough people see that it’s OK to disagree with George and are given reasons to disagree with George, the momentum will shift away from George. Have you ever been in a crowd of people you disagree with? You instinctively keep your opinions to yourself, afraid to create conflict. But if you are in a group of like-minded friends and encounter another group that has differing views, you are more likely to speak up and voice your dissent. We need to show Americans who are afraid to speak out against George that there are others like them and it’s OK to speak out. We need to show Americans who don’t even know that they have a reason to disagree with George that they do have a reason. And we need to encourage those who have not voted in the past that in 2004, their vote will make a difference. Remember, the last George was considered unbeatable less than a year before his defeat.
