I agree with you about the communication, but that has been my central point in a way.
When somebody mischaracterizes you or your party, tell them loudly to fuck off. And correct the mischaracterization.
Of course, this would surely get tiring in a state like California (i.e., filled with leftist cartoonists), but its necessary. Otherwise, before you know it, the kids are coming home from school with books that say your party hates minorities and oppresses the poor.
This would be a lot easier if the freaking Bush I and II people could try and reach out a bit (a lot) more to minorities etc..., and I appreciate how that hampers your ability to counter allegations of racism.
