VOTE: Let's Pick 10 Web Addresses and BOMBARD with Emails
There is SO much energy here. Why not harness or focus it and select 10 of the best people/organizations to get our message to, and ask all DUers to JUST BOMBARD THEM WITH EMAILS???

Nominate destinations where either they are silent but potential sympathizers. Or where we could get the most bang for our buck?

Any ideas?

Like:
Editor of NY Times
Editor Washington Post?

3. Thanks - Any ideas on who to send to? It has to be
people who have the power to do something immediately

19. I don't know. He seems too tied to Bush now. I think he, and he
alone put the nix on any future blame on Bush for Iraq

17. I just tried to look for it - to no avail. Is he employed by
anyone now? I just read this bio on him. Sounds like a great person to get pumped up. But everytime I have seen him on tv lately he almost sounds like a republican

4. I would love....
to blow Chris Matthews out of the water, just on general principles, and while doing so take to task every single television broadcast that purports to be 'news'. They have NO investigative reporting, and cannot tell a straight story sans smirk, snarl, or innuendo.

6. I nominate
Whoever Kerry's friends are.
I say this because maybe he is not getting all these emails we're sending him. People like him, who get a lot of email/mail have aides to help them screen it, and maybe someone close to him (family? others?) got that aide to ignore/delete our emails. So I say lets email people that have his ear and that he listens to, the problem is I remember reading that he has a few friends he consults with constantly but I don't remember their names. :( Does anyone remember the article??
I think it said something about him always being on his cell phone.

15. I'll see if I can find something on it. Also, remember Kerry's
brother's email was posted a couple weeks ago

7. I JUST posted a thread suggesting that we compile a list of the
errors/fraud, that's succinct and does the job lazy reporters won't do - then spam the hell out of them. Hadn't seen your thread, but I think we're on the same wavelength here.

We need to put together the document.

11. I read your email and totally agree. Do you think it is
important to go with volume? Or just the top 10 screwy things?

12. If you coordinate the spam copy. I will pull together a list of
top contacts. We also have that post out there that has hundreds of press contacts on it.

14. Laura, I LIVE in DC, and could take copies to all the networks
but I think VOLUME is critical. The main thing is to create the document, so the reporters have everything CLEARLY SPELLED OUT FOR THEM.

I don't think I'm the person to do that, because I'm not as familiar with what is going on in Ohio and Florida. That's why I was asking for volunteers. I can definitely help edit - but someone else needs to pull the "bullets" together.

20. I'm in DC too. I agree with you -- you have the clout here on DU to
push the issue and we can get a great copy. Maybe once we do, I could pick out the highlights for an email piece. I would be glad to help finance copying.
