red states/blue states

Truthout videotaped a trip through the "red states" of America. This is an interesting document showing both the ignorance of some people (to this day) and also the fact that "red states" are certainly not red through and through. It reinforces my belief that we need to organize and educate these people, since a number of the people who voted for bush have values and concerns that are opposite of his. Sure, too many people said they voted for him simply because they thought he was "strong" or they thought we shouldn't change presidents during wartime or even "because my husband told me to"!! (honest!) But most were concerned about the economy, the environment, health care, etc, and were living examples of what bush's policies have done in these fields.
Of course, it is nearly impossible to counteract the conservative media juggernaut, but we need to show these people who is on their side and who is on the side of big business.
