Have others got the ROBO call I got today telling lies and distortions about Peter?
This is scary stuff!
I used to think Dubie was like jim Douglas. Mr Milktoast, a centerist republican who was well liked and who you could work with.
After last night’s debate when he stood up for the tea party, said the the IBM spokesperson was lying when he repeated that IBM has no plans to leave VT and accused Peter of lying right to Peter’s face on corrections even after Peter had explained his plan very clearly.
Well now i think Dubie is a SCARY PRO LIFE RIGHT WING EXTREMIST.
Thank god VT has a good education system! [ which Dubie hopes to dismantle] hopefully the average Vermonter is smart enough to figure out his message is all FEAR MONGERING CRAP.
This has certainly motivated me to action.
What are 10 steps the typical person can take to counter this out of state alternate reality – without stooping to the same level??
and I was so aggravated I wrote a post about it here:
http://greenmountaindaily.com/…
1. Write a letter to the editor and send it to every newspaper in the state.
2. Log on to their online comment blogs and voice your objection
3. Make a donation to your local county Democratic Committee, the VDP, and/or the Shumlin campaign
4. Volunteer with the Shumlin campaign or your local Democratic county committee.
5. Make a YouTube video about the robocalls and their distortions of reality — hey have fun with it! Then post or tweet the link to all your Facebook friends and online pals.
6. Go to every Dubie appearance you can: video it if you have a camera. Post videos to YouTube with appropriate commentary and fact-checking.
7. Strike up a conversation with the aggressively polite cadre of Dubie’s paid green-shirts who follow him all over the state to wave his signs and take up turf in debate venues. Get names and addresses. Get them on camera if possible. Ask them what he stands for. Ask them why he’s lying about Shumlin’s plans.
8. Write another letter to the editor.
9. Write another check, then go volunteer a few more hours.
10. VOTE early (helps when candidates can “bank” early votes, and gets the determined Dem vounteers off your phone line).

Local, grassroots, neighbor to neighbor campaigning always beats out of state money. Thats the way the Shumlin campaign is running their operation, and Im sure theyd love to have you on the team.
