Idle Hands
Nice article -- but was this really "roundly condemned" last time around?

Cartel of Defiance
cartel of defiance (noun): 1. In medieval combat, a formal declaration, delivered by herald, of a combatant's intention to fight and refusal to submit. 2. An electronic assemblage of engaged and enraged citizens. 3. An intertextual mode of reading, writing, and thinking that puts the current political, cultural, and personal moment in dialogue with text/art from the past in counterargument to the ahistorical Memory Hole into which America seems to have slipped.

MEMORANDUM
To: Registered Republicans in North Carolina
From: Chris Mears, Political Director
Date: February 15, 2006
Re: The pew and the ballot box
Voter registration, education and Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) efforts
are invaluable to political success in North Carolina.
Unfortunately, Democratic candidates know and have mastered this
strategy to energize waves of unified voters on Election Day.
The Republican National Committee has completed a study on
grassroots activity that reveals that people who regularly attend
church usually vote Republican when they vote.
In light of this study’s findings, it is imperative that we
register, educate and get these potential voters from the pew to the
ballot box. To do this we must know who these people are.
I am requesting that you collect as many church directories as you
can and send them to me in an effort to fully register, educate and
energize North Carolina’s congregations to vote in the 2006
elections.
The North Carolina Republican Party holds your church’s directory in
strict confidence. This information will be used for voter
registration, education and GOTV purposes only and will not be used
to solicit church members for any other reason. They will simply
receive generic voter registration and GOTV materials without
reference to your church.
In today’s political climate, voter registration, education and GOTV
efforts are essential for success. Your response is crucial. We
must educate and energize our base voters, a task only accomplished
through voter education and a concentration on GOTV efforts.
If you have any questions or concerns about this initiative, please
contact our Political Director, Chris Mears, at (919) 828-6423 or
mears@ncgop.org.
For more information, contact NCGOP Political Director Chris Mears
at mears@ncgop.org. Please forward this to anyone who may be interested.
Paid for by the N.C. Republican Party, Rob Moseley, Jr., Treasurer.
