Re-post: Help Boxer by sending e-mails to Wolf Blitzer

[moggie12]

Barbara Boxer was on Wolf Blitzer's show on CNN this morning. I think it would be helpful if people e-mailed Blitzer and expressed support for Boxer.

Here's the link:
http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form5.html?21

The idea is to let Blitzer and CNN know that there are thousands of us "average Americans" out here who want Boxer's reasoned, articulate views to be heard. The idea is to apply POSITIVE pressure. Therefore, I think it's best to sound polite and appreciative (as much as this may gall those of you who get mad at Blitzer). For example:

1) Thank Blitzer for having Boxer on the show
2) Tell him you agree with Boxer, that you think what she is saying and doing is important, or something along those lines.
3) Tell him you wish that he and CNN would give more coverage to Boxer.

No more than 5 or 6 sentences should do the trick, so no need to spend a lot of time doing this.

You don't need to have seen the show. A general message of support is all that's needed.

Edited to add: CNN will post the transcript, but don't know how long this takes. Here's the link:
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/wbr.html

I posted this originally in the "General Discussion: Politics" category and titled it "War Room" because it's an attempt to organize a rapid media response (in this case to help Boxer get her message heard). Would be interested in any feedback you have on me doing this, whether it's pro or con.

I thanked him and urged him to have more guests who exhibit the courage to stand up to the right wing extremists who are leading us down a dangerous road that threatens our democracy.

See the orginal post in "Politics" category. Two people posted the e-mails they wrote:

Please pitch in. It's quick! It's easy! (Is it effective? Actually, I don't really know, but I'll be darned if I'm not going to do everything I possibly can to help my new hero, Barbara B.)
