How Democrats and Progressives Can Win: Solutions from George Lakoff

by Haydn Reiss and George Lakoff

How Democrats and Progressives Can Win: Solutions from George Lakoff Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This is a powerful tool for concerned citizens, activists, volunteers — everyone — who wants to communicate more effectively the progressive political agenda.

Using television news clips, graphics, and a lively interview with George Lakoff, this 25 minute DVD program will help you understand the critical role of language in today's politics and the ways you can make language work for you. By "reframing" the debates that are polarizing our country, we can make our case to the American people. Here what the DVD covers:

  • How conservatives gained so much power?
  • What is framing?
  • How the term "tax relief" works to frame the debate over taxation?
  • Values win elections. Do you know yours?
  • How do you debate a conservative?
  • Where have all the religious liberals gone?
  • Why do there seem to be two Americas?
  • How do you influence a swing voter?
  • How do you "frame" President Bush?
Each dvd includes a summary card of progressive values and key points.
