A Twitter campaign against AT and T during the Masters?

[democraticrevolution]

I got this email from the Communications Workers of America talking about AT&T and the Masters Tournament. The interesting strategy I read about in this email is the CWA’s embracing of Twitter to spread the word about AT&T’s corporate greed.

When you send your "tweets," be sure to include a link to our petition (www.standupforworkers.com) and add #masters to the end of your message. This will make sure that other Twitter users who are following the Masters Tournament will see your messages about AT&T.

They even have some example tweets you can send or make up your own if you’d like.

• Master of corporate greed -- AT&T wants to cut my health benefits www.standupforworkers.com #masters

• AT&T leaves its workers in a bunker www.standupforworkers.com #masters

• AT&T at the top of the leader board for corporate greed www.standupforworkers.com #masters

• AT&T execs: watching golf and cutting retiree health benefits www.standupforworkers.com #masters

AT&T is the leading sponsor of the 2009 Masters Tournament. The thinking goes that if they have the money to do this, they have the money to stop job cuts and the taking away of health care benefits.

1. The Revolution will be brought to you by Twitter

In the absence of an organized labor movement, the revolution will be created on the fly using text-messaging tools to organize people quickly for specific purpose.

2. It's the Let's all Call Up AT&T And Protest To The President March!

3. Does CWA have a Twitter page? I can't find it. n/t

4. Is the fact that the 'Tournament' is being held at a club that exludes women okay with ATT? nt
