Willing to help demand the msm coverage of Roberts' memos?
(This is also posted in the DU Activists corp--repeating here as I know everyone doesn't visit that board)...

on this thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

We can see yet another example of who and what Roberts is. Are we going to just allow the MSM, as well as other media outlets to ignore or sit on this story? I don't think we should.

I would like to propose that we blast the media the same way we did when Sinclair was planning to air the negative documentary on Kerry. For those that have already given up and accepted Roberts as the newest member of the Supreme Court,may I offer that we still have an opportunity here to get the word out. Let's not give up yet, there's entirely too much at stake...

Please weigh in over the weekend with your thoughts on this and whether you would be willing to participate in a media blast, demanding coverage of Roberts memos.

Thanks--have a great weekend!
bliss

3. I see you got the same amount of responses
I got when I have suggested we gather all the negative press on the R's and start hitting the media with it.

Sure, I'll help. Tell me what you need.

4. Thank you, Carla!
When did you ask about this? How did I miss that? I'd happily support your efforts, too!

Sucks to be able to hear a pin drop in regard to your thread, doesn't it? LOL!

Right now I'm just seeing IF anyone would care to participate. I figured I would give it through the weekend.

Then we'll just draft some e-mail letters that we can send to a bunch of media outlets, like we did with the Sinclair documentary. If it only comes down to two of us? Hey, two is better than none, right?

:hi:

Thanks again, Carla--I'm happy to hear that you would be interested!

6. Why wouldn't anyone get behind that?
It's an admirable desire (imo)--and would serve the party well. If you plan to do an e-mail campaign, I'll support it. Let me know!

:thumbsup:

7. Hey bliss..
your link does not work. I'll go check out the activist forum.

I'm willing to help on Roberts. I don't want him on the court.

8. Thanks, cally! Sorry about the link...
I can't fix the stupid thing now, because I can no longer edit the post. I'll see if I can find the thread and just post a link to it as a response.

Thanks again! Your support is appreciated!

Bliss :hi:

9. I've already contacted media about this -- Roberts's racist, sexist...
comments in the memos should disqualify him for the federal bench.
