Great job! (Like we can take credit)


[font color="navy" size="6"]Bernie Sanders Group - Targeted Mainstream Media Program[/font]

[font color="navy"]In an effort to gain more media traction the Bernie Sanders Group is asking YOU to take some time and talk about Bernie on social media. We also would ask that you reach out to the mainstream media as well, in order to make our actions towards the mainstream media we'd like to target one media personality a week. In order to do this we will need you to reach out and contact this media personality with positive information/news about Bernie Sanders.

This week's media personality focus will be Rachel Maddow of MSNBC!




Learn more about Rachel here.

Contact Rachel Maddow on Facebook.
Contact Rachel Maddow on Twitter.
Contact Rachel Maddow at MSNBC. You can even load photos to the show!

Send Rachel your thoughts about Bernie, why you are supporting him, anecdotal stories/photos. [/font]

1. Very exciting!

Let's get her talking Bernie! Make sure you post who else we should target!

[marym625]

2. I was just going to give you the credit for the post

My idea, your assistance post! Really love it! Thanks so much! .

[Agschmid]

3. No worries, we have to decide on week 2!

[marym625]

4. Maybe Uhm. I don't know anyone not on msnbc.

Who on Al Jszeera maybe?

[salimbag]

5. Ali Velshi

He's a money guy, might appreciate Bernienomics!

[marym625]

7. Good idea!

We will make him next week! -

Thanks!

6. Rachel has been only

talking about Baltimore. A very important topic but there could have been a mention so I hope she can set up an interview with Bernie this week.

What about a master list of places we can hit?

I was thinking Bill Maher and David Letterman. Letterman only has a few weeks left and the audience should be larger. He may be booked but he would do a nice interview.

LTE's can get a lot of info about Bernie into the papers.

If we can get some sort of travel iist of visits from the campaign we can write some papers and help draw a crowd.

I would love to see him doing local town halls. He doesn't need a coach and prescreened questions!

[marym625]

8. Good point about the late night shows

I have to get to bed. I think that's a really good point. Maybe we should make Dave letterman next week.

I can put a list together from suggestions here. I can do that tomorrow. Can't keep my eyes open right now

[marym625]

28. He's on maddow tonight!

In 10 minutes

9. Perhaps appearances on Letterman and the Daily Show can be urged

IMHO the need for guest appearances on both of these shows seems like a no-brainer to me.

[marym625]

11. Yes, I agree

Should we pick one or the other for next week or do them both?

[chknltl]

13. I do not understand how these things work but...

... if my fellow DUers want to target one or both with requests, give me the link to the request line. If we have to send snail mail, give me the address. If there is a best way to pitch our requests, give me the words. Count me as ALL IN and I look forward to the BIG DU leading the way.

[marym625]

14. links for Maddow are in the OP

We'll get links for next week's target in week 2 OP.

I have to run but whatever words you want to use would be fabulous. Anything asking for her to have Sanders om the show and, maybe, why you would watch that

Thank you!

[chknltl]

19. Clicked on MSNBC link, then on RM's contact link but

...got a notice that default mail contact not installed or something like that. I could not post my request there. I have never twittered or successfully used Facebook. I'll try next to figure one of them out, I won't be giving up easily.
edited to add, I already had a facebook account, just never knew how to use it and long ago forgot the password.. I requested a new password, reset the forgotten one with one I'll not likely forget and then went to your provided RM Facebook link and added a request to have Senator Sanders on the show.

or to put things in DU vernacular: 'Done'.

So what can I and my keyboard do next?

[marym625]

21. Thank you!

It's saying that you don't have an email connected to something. I'm not tech savvy so I am not sure. Maybe go directly to the Rachel Maddow show website and click on the "contact us" or whatever they have there.

Just keep doing those things. Maybe every day? How ever often you feel like it this week.

If we can get all the Bernie supporters to do this, then perhaps we can get these hosts to host him

Thanks!

[chknltl]

22. Yeah I'm not tech saavy either, (translation: I'm an old fart)

I'll try getting through to MSNBC later today when my frustration level with all things tech goes down a bit. I've little doubt that Stewert and Letterman will have Sanders on, it is up to us to show them our numbers/enthusiasm. Maddow may be a tougher nut to crack due to her corporate owners but I won't give up on her. She knows what is up, what is at stake and who her listeners are.

[marym625]

23. exactly!

Thank you!

[edgineered]

30. Use whatever email device you normally do. Use her email address

of

[e-mail]

It will go through. I just had the same thing happen when trying to send her a thank you for having Bernie on, and it's been a year since I've watched any tv.

[marym625]

29. He's on maddow tonight!

It's on at 9pm EDT 8PM CDT

[marym625]

12. kick for exposure

[Agschmid]

15. No need to kick it, it's pinned!

The advantage of having a host post it

[marym625]

17. But, but I wanna!

[Agschmid]

24. Lol I feel you.

[marym625]

26. Yeah, it was sorta silly

I'm used to GD.

[Agschmid]

16. Has anyone done this?

If so what did you send? Should we include a scripted message for you to send next week?

[marym625]

18. I sent a message through my msnbc account

I will do more but later but have to drive now

[chknltl]

20. kicked. nt

[Agschmid]

25. Bernie is on Rachel Maddow tonight!

[marym625]

I will work on posting a Letterman contact post

I will change the title of this!

Thanks!

[Nite Owl]

31. That was quick

She's reading our board. lol

[marym625]

32. We are good!

We did it for Maddow, let's get letterman next!

Hee hee

[Nite Owl]

33. And when Letterman leaves

We'll have to work for a Colbert interview!

Kimmell too. (ABC) I never even watch these shows.

[marym625]

34. I don't either

But I know how many people do. I will watch if Bernie is on!

Letterman links will be posted tomorrow

Thank you

[Agschmid]

35. Okay Mary...

Us the text for this post to update it to our new personality, you can change the links, pics, etc.

Once you do that unlock/unpin this thread and self delete it so the new one is the priority one.

Let me know if you need help!

[marym625]

36. unpinned

Will post for Letterman and post later today
