There are few people on this planet whom i value more than you Steve. That said, you need to hire a speech writer or a defense lawyer or an advertising professional steve. Someone who can take your brilliant data and ideas and make them cogent and accessible to the general public. That aspect is not your strong suit. Use them as an editor and possibly as a spokesperson.

I happen to really enjoy steve's concise style, no fluff words, numbered points, just the logic and the math where relevant, no time wasting. Thanks Steve, please keep it that way!

The other person I really admire on that front it Toby Rogers with his wildly popular "thinking points" posts with great short itemized messages and perhaps even a cute domestic animal viddeo as a dessert at the finish.

Dressing this stuff up nice and christmassy is the job of the vigilant foxes and epoch timeses of this world, journalists to flesh out the story with background filler and little interspersed science facts boxes (NOT fact-check boxes) explaining terminology and concepts their average audience member might not be familiar with etc. in a language their target audience and market understands.

i wish I had the money to advertise and would take you up on that. Too few donors.

I think you do a pretty good job and can polish up with free information from the internet on your own. I agree it would be great to have an expert coach but barring that...

To become aware of your opponent's tactics, read Rules for Radicals, A Practical Primer for Realistic Radicals, by Saul Alinsky. It's the "Bible" of debate and attack for them.

Bret Weinstein might be someone who would take up the challenge to present the rationale and data. He is a good teacher and communicator. Del Bigtree might also have access to good people for the role too. Norman Fenton knows his stuff but his speaking mannerisms don't always make him the clearest presenter.

You would think that somewhere in the country, there would be an eager speech writer, publicist, spokesperson, agent, litigator, ad man or maybe even just a great teacher who would love to volunteer their skills. RFK must have access to some people like that who want to make their mark and believe in the cause?!
