Quick start
Quick start
Here are ways to get started—suggestions for how you can help accelerate this voter outreach and information effort.
1. If you represent a group, we recommend assigning a facilitator – you, the Chair, and/or a volunteer. Then you or the facilitator subscribe for free to our website resource, “Stop Project 2025,” here:
When we publish a new post on the Stop Project 2025 site, the facilitator will be notified automatically by email.
2. You or the facilitator can then take one of several actions to share the regularly updated resource information:
a. Include the link to Stop Project 2025 or to a specific post (see How to Use menu on the website) in your county Democrats newsletter. Encourage recipients to repost website posts on Facebook or other social media sites, or to send an email to friends or other organizations. You can also suggest that volunteers who are canvassing door-to-door print out and share some of these posts.
b. Include the link to the Stop Project 2025 website on your website.
c. Start a local group of LTE writers to submit their letters to the editors of their local news outlets, newsletters, or even their city chamber of commerce. Encourage writers to use this website’s content and LTE RESOURCES, as a research resource to support and speed their letter writing.
d. Select specific posts from the Stop Project 2025 website, and then submit them to local newspapers, etc., under your name or a nom de plume, for example, “a concerned citizen.” This would not be plagiarism, because our writers have permitted use of their content in this way. Furthermore, the website content is licensed under Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal (Public Domain). After all, we share the same goal, so we’re making our work available to you to help achieve that goal.
These are just thought-starters; you will likely have other great ideas about how to put these resources to work to get out the vote.
What you can expect to see in the coming days through November 5th
On July 21, 2024, the Stop Project 2025 site was initiated with general information and LTE RESOURCES about Project 2025. Now, we’ll begin writing about specifics, in a format we have nicknamed “bomblets”—200 word pieces that can be published in “Letters to the Editor” sections in county newspapers across the US. Why 200 words? Because newspapers, even online, tend to limit LTEs to 200-350 words. Our challenge—which we are meeting—is to produce substantive LTEs that are the written equivalent of easily understood “sound bites” (“bomblets”) and highlight one Project 2025 section issue per LTE.
Stop Project 2025 by Multiple Writers is marked with Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal, with the exception of cross-linked posts by authors who are not participating in the Klickitat County voter outreach program. Those author’s work is clearly annoated with “Published on …” and at the top of the article, “Cross-linked” is clearly displayed. We ask that you use links to these essays to preserve the integrity of their work and to give proper attribution.
By marking the work with a CC0 public domain dedication, the creators are giving up their copyright and allowing reusers to distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon the material in any medium or format, even for commercial purposes.
CC0: This work has been marked as dedicated to the public domain.
Through November 5th, 2024, Stop Project 2025 essays will mostly be “sound bite” sized “bomblets” targeting specific impacts Project 2025 could have on most Americans.
Because this site and its content, with the above cross-linked exception, is dedicated to the public domain. Hence, these maximum 200 word ”bomblets” can be submitted to your local newspaper as Letters to the Editor. By doing this, you can help alert other Americans to the dangers of Project 2025, electing Trump, and electing right-wing Republicans to Congresses, state and federal.
