I'm betting King would not get many votes with this group.  :)
Barring a redistricting he is there and our favorite...Michele Bachman is even 
wanting King to run for Pres in 2012. (just shoot me)  Anyone have luck with 
Voodoo dolls?  Anyway.

I've been able to work with King in the past by carefully "FRAMING" the 
message.  I suggest that this group work to do the same...it is hard... I know.

The way I frame with King is to speak ONLY in terms of economic 
development, jobs and security....they're very afraid you know...of a lot of 
things. Framing Examples: Any pollution is a waste of a resource so 
think...resource recovery...new technology...jobs....new businesses.  Any BIG 
business efforts we disagree with (utilities/Monsanto/etc), frame in terms of 
local business...economic development...local control.  You get the point.  It's 
easier (and more fun) to scream about how (stupid/racist/ignorant/short 
sighted/homophobic/narrow minded/and on) he is but I just think it doesn't get 
us where we want to go.  IMO.
