WOAH! I think more MSM is interested in election fraud now!

[tommcintyre]

On my new media blaster, just launched Sunday, I included a link in the premade letter to the MSM, so they could get more details easily on the election fraud if they wanted it. (I did this since I had to keep the letter short so it would be automatically pasted into the senders email program.)

I was just checking the daily stats, and what I found startled me. There were 12 visits to the resource page! One was me making sure it worked; but the rest could only be clicked by a MSM letter recipient since there is no link to it anywhere else! Now it is possible that a couple of senders copied themselves, opened their received email and clicked on the link, BUT CERTAINLY NOT ALL OF THEM!

This is a very good sign.

From my website stat program:
/voteintegrity_express.htm 90
/voteintegrity_mediaresource.htm 12

1. Go Tom!

Your Media Blaster is great -- I have used it a BUNCH of times. Had fun each and every BLAST I sent.

Have you -- or could you -- make another set with altnerative media targets -- reporters from Mother Jones, Common Dreams, CounterPunch...

:kick:

[tommcintyre]

3. Sure.. I'll PM you with the details tomorrow

It's after 3am here now, so I'm going to turn in.

6. excellent idea to contact

alternative media targets, some we haven't been regularly emailing.
They need to know that we WANT coverage, articles, news--about this and will support them for it.

Thanks for your work Tom.

[texpatriot2004]

5. Thanks for all your efforts on this n/t

[sabra]

8. Do you have other stats?

Such as the domain of the user who is accessing a page on your site? If so, that could help you determine in a certain degree where your users are coming from...

[pacalo]

11. Thanks, sabra. I was wondering the same thing.

[tommcintyre]

12. "the domain of the user who is accessing " Yes but it is not connected...

to the url hit stats. So I can tell how how many people accessed from a certain broad domain (regional RR, country, etc.), but not which urls they visited.

Anyway, I have a feeling these people may have been checking their email on Sunday from home (being the ambitious people they are). Kind of interesting to contemplate that one or more of these "heavy hitters" may have been reading YOUR email while they had their coffee and donut (do they still eat donuts?). ;~}

[senseandsensibility]

9. Thanks for all you're doing!

Keep us posted,please!:)

[keepthemhonest]

10. that is great tom

I was going to put your link here and say maybe it was because of the media blaster and then I saw you had started the thread .How funny. I definately think it is working.Thanks

[tommcintyre]

13. "maybe it was because of the media blaster " Really whacked 'em last ...

Sunday. The appropriate page hits were well into the four figures (hence the 86K+ ems sent out). I had links to DU in that one. I noticed how AP came out with a generally good article, but used a word that didn't do us justice. I also noticed how Duer's started complaining, and they quickly revised that word, and reissued the article. Coincidence? Maybe... or maybe not.

[lonestarnot]

17. AGREE

[november3rd]

14. That is a fine blaster

I used it and it took seconds to accomplish what would have taken days in my early boyhood!

[tommcintyre]

15. "it took seconds to accomplish" The power is in our hands n/t

[lonestarnot]

16. yes!

[Digit]

19. This blows me away!

At this point, don't you think the content of the emails should be different?
Yours says it as I never could, and I would want them to see the message is different.
I really believe in email campaigns. It gets their attention.

[liberalla]

22. There's no reason why you can't alter the content, right?

I did. Spacing, font, some wording. There's no reason you can't delete everything and send them New Year greetings! This is a great program for quick media contacts-- for any message you want to get out (not just this one). Thanks!

[tommcintyre]

30. Alter away please! when I set up an Express blaster, I am limited to..

a single short block of text (s0 it will automatically load into the users email program.) But as liberalla says, you can modify all you want before you send the msg.

[tommcintyre]

29. "content of the emails should be different?" All suggestions welcome!

As said below, you can alter to your hearts desire. Also, I'm glad to have alt msgs sugested.

[Digit]

20. I am getting an error...it says my email client is not properly set up.

Damn!

[tommcintyre]

33. Call your ISP and have them walk you through setting it up. n/t

[tommcintyre]

35. Another possibility...

[bleever]

21. Wow! Sounds like popcorn, all the replies popping into my inbox

after using the MediaBlaster!

Thanks, tom. You're doing really powerful work here.

I suggest also that people send out tidbits that are catchy. I chose "Voting machines consistently favored Bush", with one of bernie1w's great pieces.

Remember that folks in the MSM are looking for an article, not some big-ass story to research and defend!

:)

[tommcintyre]

34. Good ideas! n/t

[mom cat]

23. Great work tom! I just started a new thread for posting blaster

ready letters:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x182241

It has your blaster link included. I am working on the other FRAUD ACTION FORUM threads over the next few days.

[tommcintyre]

31. Super! mom cat, I bookmarked it. n/t

[Clark2008]

24. I have your link on my home page

And - if it helps - I'm former media; therefore, I have friends who are still active media.
They sometimes come to my homepage to leave me messages.

Either way - word is getting out. :)

[tommcintyre]

32. Thanks for the help Clark2008!

This is good, since I have almost no time to promote this.

[Melissa G]

25. Yea Tom! Great work!
