Does anyone have a contact on the Franken show?
I am trying to contact them to ask about getting the NC senate sponsor of our e-voting reform bill on the show to stir up support. We have hard opposition from Diebold, et al AND the State Board of Election who want to kill it's ethics requirement.

If someone has a contact email or phone number, please email or PM me.

Thanks.

1. Franken doesn't give a sh*t about election justice
First of all he has a stone wall around his show in terms of contacting it. Last time I tried you can only send a note to Air America in regards to his show. nowhere does he post an email address or contact info for his producer or anything. very weird because most radio shows offer this information. I've sent dozens of important emails and snail mail letters to them at the Air America address with no response.

their "blog" is ridiculous. a long string of comments with no way to reply to someone's comment.

and the kicker is that Al doesn't give a crap about election issues. many people have tried to contact him and get on his show about this and he evidently thinks the 2004 election was just as clean and legit as the rest of the mainstream media thinks.

it's been a mystery to me... i had been building up respect and admiration for him. it's all gone now. I wouldn't bother trying to get anyone on his show about this. many people have tried and failed.

3. His producer has answered a few times on election fraud

...when I use the general show comment e-mail, thanking me for the tips. I've also sent snail mail.

Although I'm discouraged and bewildered, I don't think we should give up. MAYBE we should choose a day to blitz the show. Franken's big kick right now is corruption. He says that we should make corruption the main issue in 2006. Let's ask him why he doesn't think such a corrupt party wouldn't also corrupt elections? Does corruption suddenly stop on election day?

I wonder if he's of the mindset that it's "too easy" to blame a fraudulent election and sucks attention from other issues? Too many Dems don't understand that this is THE issue, that nothing else matters if elections aren't cleaned up.

4. I don't know why he doesn't talk about it either
:shrug: Maybe he doesn't want to lose credibility with republicans or something but who cares what they think? :shrug: Maybe there can be a national call in day with Emails, fax's and calls.
