Challenge them to do better against the bill than is being done here at the DU.

Word it as a friendly challenge.

Possible criteria to use. Numbers of threads and posts. Letters and e-mails sent off. Petitions signed. Corporate media types contacted from whom an actual reply was gained. Cooperation with bloggers.

Unique info gained on who's being bribed. Etc.

Start a dedicated thread for it and ask everyone to keep anti-freeper venom out of it. Ask a mod to keep an eye on the thread and, here's the tricky part, make contact with people who are posters at Freeperville so they can post word about the thread challenging them.

Try to encourage a corresponding thread at their site.


Good luck. :)


P.S. If by some happy miracle you get it to work that fact alone might garner some free press regarding this issue. It would make for an easy story to write and would also allow those in the media who tremble at crossing Bushco to take a more oblique approach to covering the story.
