“AI must not be propaganda tools” email

This email works well in Gmail, not so well in some other email tools.

To use it, simply copy the subject and body into the appropriate locations on the email form. The copying doesn’t work perfectly, so you might want to adjust the size and formatting of the text. In particular, “we have the power: we have the votes” comes across too small. I make it “huge” in the email.

I like to select all and then delete a some

We Can Sweep the Midterms

and Fix the Nation

Timely Aphorisms

Rich corporations and individuals took control of the country.

Now the top 1% have as much wealth as the bottom 90%.

(Background)

We can take back control of government.

They have the money, but we have the votes.

How we can do it:

Each of us can

• Widely share the information on this page using social media, conversations, emails, flyers andposters, rally signs or t-shirts.
  • When people know the truth, there’s no way they’ll vote for a trickle-down candidate.
• Show Congress that we know how to fix the nation.
  • When they realize that enough of us know what needs to be done, they’ll take responsibility and start fixing.

We can do it quickly.

Imagine if just 50 people today each email their members of Congress and then forward this message to 50 friends — and tomorrow, every recipient follows suit, and the process repeats, by the end of the week Congress would be flooded with hundreds of millions of messages

Even if some people share it with fewer contacts, the exponential growth will still send an unmistakable message

A lot of Congressional candidates and incumbents have supported ending trickle-down. If you’re among them and would like to get your name added to the list, email a link to your campaign website to addme@us-sos.info

There’s still time to run for Congress in the midterms.

After we take back control and repair the government of, by, and for the people, we can change priorities and get world-class benefits like the people in other nations:

• Universal health care with low co-pays and no connection to employment
• Free or low cost higher education and free lifetime retraining
• 5 weeks paid vacation, plus holidays and paid sick leave.
• Up to 18 months of paid parental leave for the birth of a child.
• Heavily subsidized, high quality child care
• More secure retirement systems
• Better unemployment and disability benefits

It would cost 5% to 10% in taxes/GDP. That would only bring us up to around the average taxation of the other OECD countries.
