54-40 or Fight, A Chicken in Every Pot, We Shall Overcome, Si Se Puede. They all fit on bumper stickers. They are all simplistic. THEY ALL GET PEOPLE'S ATTENTION! Before we can engage people in serious thought, we have to GET THEIR ATTENTION!  Think of the bell curve. If we only deign to speak to the upper 3%, not only will we never elect a candidate, we will not achieve any of our goals. 
 
Until we think up a good, simplistic slogan, we need to be visible doing things that people already perceive as Green. They may join in. And THEN we can talk to them.
Caroline, I was born in Illinois when Adlain Stevenson was my Senator.  Consider this oft repeated snippet, this version from the NPR site. 


A supporter once called out, "Governor Stevenson, all thinking people are for you!" And Adlai Stevenson answered, "That's not enough. I need a majority."Maybe, we should buy cable time on Fox News.
