Enjoy the following creative examples from those who used UDecide in 2004:
“I print them out, put them in a waterproof plastic sleeve and tape them to the back of my car. Quite a conversation starter.”–Claire M
“I am a librarian at a community college and I am posting the snapshot flyer on my office door.–” Linda F
“I use your material to help prep for my show, “Unfiltered”, on the Air America Radio network. I’ve referred a number of people here to fact-check and build up their arsenal for talking about the elections with friends, co-workers, and family. Thanks!”–Rachel Maddow
“I’m taking a big stack of the Women’s issues flier with me today as I run my errands. I’m leaving stacks at the Gynecologists’ office, the foyer of the daycare, and the yoga center. Hopefully another woman will read one and be enlightened!” –Lynda M
“I have put these in senior and retirement buildings where many are Republicans out of habit but can be changed if they are informed. I have traveled out of California to undecided states and used these as aids in speaking with undecided voters.”–Joanna S
“I own a Tattoo Studio in Oregon. I have a large number of clients that are undecided on just how they are going to vote. I’m putting the flyers in a binder on the coffee table for them to see and discussing the topics while I tattoo them. I am also going to make up waterproof posters and tack them to to utility poles around town.” –Donald
“I’m using the information to convince my daughter in law, who has never voted because she feels uninformed, that she must start now.” –Gail C
“I’m phone banking and doing door-to-door canvassing and that info printed and on hand will be dynamite.” –V.F.
“I have been using the flyers in my classes at a community college, urging students to get out to vote and to be more aware of the issues that are relevant to them.” –Lisa M
“I put them on the tables in the cafeteria at work.” –Deborah S
“I am putting sets of all your fliers in envelopes; on the front of each envelope I write that in the 2000 presidential election New Mexico’s election was decided by 366 votes and Florida’s by 537, and add YOUR VOTE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I carry these envelopes in my car and 1-2 in my purse. When I encounter a potential undecided voter, I ask, ‘Have you decided who you are going to vote for?’ If they say yes, I go no further. If they say no, I ask if they would like some information and if so, give them the envelope. I also ask if they are registered to vote, and if not, give them a voter registration form, which I also carry with me. I have been doing this for two weeks, asking grocery checkers (almost ALL of whom have been undecided!!), waitresses (also a lot of undecideds!), clerks in stores, guys pumping gas, etc. All but one undecided voter have taken the information, and I have registered several people. This is very easy and non-stressful to do. Your fliers are just perfect–just the right amount of information.” –Lee F
