Democrats need to SIMPLIFY the Message
Democrats are doing what they do the worst --
They are taking an issue where they are right and where they have the moral high ground and letting it become a political advantage for the Republicans
Who reading this has the talent and ability to do a very simple visual to get the following point across
Take a simple map and highlight in yellow all the lands the government already signed over leases to the Oil Company--and ask as the title
68 Million acres of Leases the Oil Company's earned from the Bush Administration and have not yet drilled on
And the tag line -
GREED IS NOT GOOD
-----------------------
A simple visual -
Today on the talk shows we watched everyone from Nancy Pelosi to Tom Daschle try and go up against the Republican machine on Energy
And this is the bottom line--
the republican message - which we KNOW is not true - is that democrats are not letting a vote on drilling and that is why you gas is $4 a gallon
This is an easy and upsetting piece of information that LOW information voters get
Hence the 65% of the US population now in favor of additional drilling
LET'S HELP THE DEMS SIMPLIFY THE MESSAGE
LET'S GET AN EASY TO READ MAP SHOWING THE 68 MILLION ACRES THAT ARE READY TO GO AND TELL THE OIL COMPANIES
"GO FOR IT!"
--
I got the follow up ready as soon as we get this off the ground

Many people are visual learners. So I like your map. But how will it be seen by non-reading voters. In others words, how to you arrange for it to be shown anyway on MSM?
