Need to get FReepers in every city along the bus tour to notify their local TV, radio and newspapers. I'll take care of the Colorado stops.
Please ping all FReepers in the states along the caravan bus tour route.
It is the site of Ray, Bubba, Sorenson's famous patriotic art work which is frequently published on FR. http://www.ticz.com/homes/users/bob/On-A-Rock/On-A-Rock.htm
Wow, that is one cool rock!

Thanks for fixing this. Ray's rock is famous, as well as his art work. It's made the rounds on FR many times.
Pass the word.

And I already received a message back from Bertha Lynn of KMGH channel 7 (ABC) here in Denver. She is going to make sure that the info gets to theit assignment desk and that one of their reporters covers the visit to Denver.
Okay. I still have signs from our last rally. Who wants to go/can make it on the 23rd?
I assume the stop will be in downtown Indy somewhere. As they're asking for locations, does anyone have any suggestions? The War Museum was great, but the media will probably want other backdrops.
Maybe we can take a poll and then send it to Move America Forward. :)
Great work by you and everyone involved!

On the Move America Forward page Melanie Morgan is asking for that kind of feedback. I think you need to send the info to info@moveamericaforward.org and cc: rob@moveamericaforward.org. Great idea by the way!
Here's the email I'm using to send onto local TV, radio and newspapers: (if any one wants to borrow it; I 'customize' the email message for each city)
