Our DC Rootstrikers group is going to be distributing the infographics this Sunday at: Dupont Circle Farmers Market on November 4th
At our last planning meeting this issue was heatedly discussed, which caused me to post my comments. In fact, we debated whether distributing the Obama infographic showing the U.S. Gov. as top donor would be counterproductive and weaken the message. The consensus was that it would divert some attention from the message, but overall it will give most potential voters information they would not otherwise get, and hopefully encourage them to start paying attention to the problem.
We anticipate there will be more and better data coming out about the funders after the election.
