George Lakoff strategy call

See the below from George Lakoff and please pass the word:

The 2004 presidential election had barely begun when I got an unexpected phone call. It turned out the Howard Dean campaign had read my book “Moral Politics” and wanted to use it as a guide for the election. They planned to run a different type of Democratic candidacy -- one which used moral framing to stand up for progressive principles. Just one year later, my next book “Don’t Think of an Elephant,” took the political world by storm, helping Democrats reframe the national debate and take back Congress in 2006 and the White House in 2008.

Ten years later, Democrats have enjoyed numerous political victories at all levels of government by following Gov. Dean’s lead in articulating our own core values while rejecting Republican talking points. However, in recent years, Tea Party Republicans and Fox News have hijacked the national dialogue -- with the most recent example being President Obama’s “latte salute.”

That’s why, with control of the Senate on a razor’s edge -- and the 2016 presidential election looming -- we’ve got to take the narrative back again.

Will you join me on Tuesday, October 7, at 8:30 pm ET/5:30 pm PT for a special “DFA Live” strategy call to discuss how Democrats can win the framing wars in 2014 and 2016? Just click “Yes” or “No” below:

Yes, I will join the “DFA Live with George Lakoff” strategy call on Tuesday night.

No, I can’t make it, but I want to donate to DFA to receive a copy of the all new "Don't Think of an Elephant” -- updated for 2014.
During our DFA Live call, I’ll talk about some of the newest chapters in my all new edition of “Don’t Think of an Elephant,” revised for 2014, including messaging around income inequality -- arguably the most important issue facing Americans in the coming years. I’ll also take time to answer your questions and discuss what kinds of framing strategies will win the 2016 presidential campaign.

We have made too much progress in the last ten years to see it taken away by the Tea Party. Will you sign up for our DFA Live strategy call on Tuesday at 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT to discuss how Democrats can win the framing wars?

Yes, I will join the “DFA Live with George Lakoff” strategy call on Tuesday night.
