In reply to the discussion: UPDATED: Sensata Story Will Destroy Romney -Romney's Bain Currently Selling Out US Workers to China [View all]Indep2992
(119 posts)I saw a tweet that MSNBC was going to have workers on next week.
And Jennifer Granholm tweeted about this.
Again, such defeatism will get nobody anywhere.
Be optimistic, we are a democracy. Voices matter.
I'm again reposting this for the 3rd time:
We need to not hide behind keyboards and just talk. We need to act in order to get things moving.
(1) Complaining about coverage won't do anything. Yeah, I don't think the MSM will cover this without some push because they are probably funded by interests that fund Romney... But we should do our best to alert networks and people to this story. That I think is in our hands. They cannot ignore a story with a gazillion comments and views.
Send this information to the local Democratic HQ in your area.
Send this story to your family members and extended family members.
Call and email local TV stations.
Call and email TV stations in rural areas.
Send in tips to CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC.
Send in tips to newspapers and magazines.
Use social media to get people to notice.
That is what is in our hands - the power to spread information and awareness.
(2) This story will change the way people look at Romney. Low information voters and Independents are told constantly by the media, by the papers, by radio that Romney holds an advantage in jobs. This is not true. This story has heart. This story will destroy Romney if it gets out. It is our job, I think, to be active and get it out. I emailed so many people and called so many people and outlets. I went crazy with social media and emails. Do the same. Make a difference!
NOTE: I emailed/called people and told them about (1) the workers taking down the American flag/putting up the Chinese flag part, (2) the workers having to train the Chinese who will be taking their jobs (3) the plant will close the day before election day, and (4) Romney will profit immensely and refuses to talk to the workers. That was what will sell. Do the same.
