THIS IS IT!!! - WE NEED TO ORGANIZE!!!

[JohnnyCougar]

Hearing that the "Yellowcake" sory will not be run on 60 minutes has pushed me over the edge. The pressure right wingers used to put on CBS was effective because they are organized. They are fanatical. We need to build a formidable force to annihilate this lunatic fringe.

We should band together with other left-wing blogs like Daily Kos and Atrios and such, and all have a common agenda. Sort of like the two-faced thing, only more of a call to action. We should list phone numbers and e-mail addresses of media organizations and hammer them with complaints relentlessly until they cave. If they are getting 50,000 e-mails a day, they can't ignore us. If their phone banks are jammed, they can't ignore us. We just have to keep up the pressure.

Today's agenda should be to get the "Yellowcake" story aired. I'm calling CBS and writing them e-mail, as well as writing to other news organizations to pick up the story. OUR VOICE MUST BE HEARD!!!!!!!!

1. This is more or less what we are already doing, isn't it??

[JohnnyCougar]

2. Yeah...but it needs to happen now.

I think the mods should post a sticky thread on the top of this and the activism forum and keep it up there the whole day. something like that.

5. I hate to say it but I think you're correct. Someone at CBS sabotaged us

I think. I wrote them twice praising them for memogate. The second e-mail got a reply from them.

But, how can we not believe that someone at CBS didn't take advantage.
And, this was the only network that would work with Josh Marshall and Linda Rosen. It must have been the one he referred to when he said he had a network lined up. I wish he hadn't posted it on his blog because it gave them time to sabotage.

But, who knows what the truth of it is. We are so manipulated we can't tell friend from foe these days. :-(
