Koochy Koochy Coup

Koochy Koochy Coup

My travels video documenting the Kucinich campaign / movement on KucinichWatch.com have allowed me to get to know numerous grassroots Kucinichers from across the country as well as several state & national "official" staffers. This well rounded view of the campaign has lead me to the conclusion that if this race is to be won; there is not time to wait to be lead, there is no one to count on but you. Now is the time for a Koochy Koochy Coup.

There seems to be 3 predominant types of Kucinich Volunteers.

1) Those who signed up to volunteer and were never contacted so they continued bugging staffers until they were given task.

2) Those who signed up to volunteer and were never contacted so they used their own wit & resources to Grassroots Dennis's platform to the people.

and 3) Those who signed up to volunteer and were never contacted and felt unwanted or unneeded, lost interest and have done little or nothing to help.

This article is for the 2's & 3's and the frustrated ones.

The quickest way to convince the masses of Dennis's "viability" is through repeated favorable mass media exposure. This avenue is NOT available to U.S.. Dennis, the candidate that does what he says he's going to do, has vowed to bust up the Corporate Monopolies that control everything most people see & hear. We can never expect fair representation from them because that could lead to serious change that would hurt their profits. Harassing them to cover Dennis costs valuable time, that most often could be better spent in conversation, leafleting, distributing position papers.....

Strong poll showings often lead to more public awareness... but not for Dennis. Anyone who has been voting in online polls knows that more often than not if Dennis is winning, or even doing well, the poll's have been removed, restarted, adjusted or downplayed. Reports on phone polling in Iowa reveal that Dennis wasn't even listed amoung the choices. Unless you have a way to get "average" people to care about that; spending time trying to vote in every poll costs valuable time that could be better spent banner dropping, requesting Kucinich songs on college radio stations, building movable billboards, distributing Kucinich CD's at night clubs....

The Official campaign with it's limitations of finances, manpower, decorum, and the media blackout working against it... can not win. It's up to the 2's & the much needed 3's to literally force Dennis to the front of the pack from the ground up. Your car, home & body need to become your Kucinich billboard. Carry an assortment of Positon papers and give them out to all those you encounter.

I first realized we had serious awareness issues when I stopped at a convienece store in Cleveland. The guy behind the counter saw my Kucinich button and said "He's running for President?!", his coworker chimed in "Who's that?". In Cleveland, Ohio.

In Iowa I spoke with a man who caucused for Dennis, refused to give his support to any other candidate (Edwards) and the effect of this 1 person standing strong was that, eventually, after much yelling & pleading... Dennis got a delegate out of that precinct. In case you hadn't noticed... Black Sheep are still sheep... still say "Bahhh". We all need to be thinking for ourselves.

The time for politely pointing out the facts that make Dennis so much better than those vanity candidates is over. America, to date, has proven overwhelmingly that it doesn't care about the facts. Election 2000, 9-11, Iraq ... ALL LIES. Lies that collectively we are willing to live with and pay for for generations to come.

Repetition sells lies to the over worked, over stressed, under paid masses that have no time to think distressing thoughts. So let repetition now sell the truth! Put the name Kucinich in front of everyone you encounter. Become a walking talking Kucinich billbaord /spokesmodel and when you think of a great, legal, way to get the message out... DO IT. You don't need no stinking approval. Do It! Make it happen. The grassroots have been fetilized enough. Now is the time to over grow the yard.

Now is the time for a Koochy Koochy Coup; one person can make a difference and that one person is you.
