The biggest protest in the history of the world is coming: November 8th, 2004, when more than 50 million protesters will descend on polling stations and vote Bush and all Repubicans out of power. Even those who cannot vote can still be part of the protest:

1. Learn about American politics, and the strategies and tactics involved in winning American voters. http://www.emergingdemocraticmajority.com has lots of info, see especially the strategy section.

2. Do you meet with an organization that hates Bush? If not, join one, if so, try to get them involved in the election. Here are things to do: http://www.stopbushin2004.com.

4. Donate to American organizations that will fight Bush in the election. This means NGOs that buy ads and register voters, alternative media, and so on. Raise money by selling your old junk, cutting spending, or getting a second job. Some organizations: http://www.stopbushin2004.com./current_actions.htm

5. Plan a volunteering vacation in an American swing state. Find democrats there you can stay with, and organizations to volunteer for.

6. Use the internet to invade American message boards, forums, and chats, especially ones in swing states. Disrupt the pro-bush propagandists, and provide links to alternative media.

7. Write to companies that donate to the republicans, such as Shell Oil, and tell them you've boycotted their products. Write to companies that donate to Democrats to praise them and tell them that you've started buying their products now. See who donates what at: http://www.opensecrets.org

8. Write to the American media, and tell them that you're boycotting their advertisers because of their pro-Bush bias. Just look at what ads are on their website, and tell them you're boycotting those. Here are the top 100 US newspapers, start at the top and work your way down: http://www.freep.com/jobspage/links/top100.htm

8. Make an anti-Bush blog or website. It doesn't need to be origional. Just copy and paste things stuff, and link to every other anti-Bush site. Learn how search engine placement works, so that when people look for pro-bush websites, they'll find yours instead.

9. Get more ideas by joining democratic mailing lists, reading election activist forums, and candidate blogs, (especially the activists' comments) like http://www.blogforamerica.com and http://www.forclark.com/

I'd have to quit my job, family, friends and all of my involvements and activities to do all this.

Did it come to the author's mind that Canadians have other shit to worry about?

I hate Bush as much as the next guy, but isn't it americans' job to kick him out?

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
