Call To Action: Email CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, the DNC.
All media should be contacted by phone or email in response to Al Gore's historical speech and the urgent need for the American people to be informed by the media.

I have so far contacted the DNC, CNN, MSNBC and am now leaving to continue the contacts.

2. Ditto -- Done it EVERYBODY should
This is a test of the power of the MSM/RNC and us.

We CANNOT BE SILENT while the news media either ignores or ridicules Gore's speech.

6. Don't need to be that drastic
They won't make the mental connection anyway.

But we do have to start getting more active about kicking the butts of those "news" networks. After all we are AT LEAST HALF of the population.

9. I'd agree if we had significant numbers
If anyone wants to cut their own cable and tell them why, that's great. But what is really needed is ongoing pressure from a lot of people.

But the presure that can be ongoing, and that as many peopel as possible will participate in, is what we can do to be heard.

We are at least half their potential viewing audience. If they keep hearing from us how angry we are, it will eventually sink in. Itworked for the right-wing with their claims of "liberal bis." They did that over time through concerted action by large numbers.

7. Don't forget to contact the Democratic National Committee also.

We need to let Howard Dean know that we expect him to stand up in support of Al Gore's call to action.

11. Great idea.
Edited on Mon Jan-16-06 03:29 PM by Wilber_Stool
Let them know that you'll watch them no matter what they do. What do you think they would happen if no one from the left ever emailed them again? What would they tell their advertisers if they thought that half of the country wasn't watching?
