I read here quite a bit but post very little so I doubt if many (or anyone) will recognize me, but I'm concerned about something that the Dummies are up to and don't know exactly where to post this (or if I even should)--
Don't know if anyone's aware, but the Pentagon has put together a TV channel that's intended to keep the people in the military and their families informed--From what I've been able to determine, they're making it available free of charge to any sattelite company willing to carry it--Sounds like a right fine idea to me in order to keep people in touch and help families stay informed about what the troops are doing and, hopefully, help those who are "over there" to feel a little more connected--
Some Bozo over on DU, however, is mustering the forces over there to make a big stink with DishNetwork because they've decided to carry this new station--True to form, they seem determined to undermine the troops and the war effort in general--Gawd, I wish they'd manage to get a life--
Where would be a good and/or appropriate place here to post this information to, hopefully, get some DishNetwork subscribers (of whom I happen to be one) to voice their support of this good program?--I generally ignore the bizarre "urgent requests" over there for everyone to "DU" this or that stupid online poll, but I'd hate to see that bunch of weirdos to have an adverse impact on this--
Any suggestions as to how I can best get the word out?--Thanks bunches--C
You just did Candi.
Maybe call DishNetwork and discuss this very thing with them, how DU may make some noise, but the families really want the service?
Thanks!--I hope some of the good folks here will see it and make some noise of their own--
Youse guys is good people!!--C
I commend you for your courage.
Can you post a link to the thread? BTW I just sent an email to my friends alerting them to this.
I'll ping the usual suspects, can you post a link to their website or any other important contact info in the meantime?
Counter Action Ping
BTTT!!!
BUmp
I tried, but it wouldn't allow me to post a link to anything on DU--It's a thread in the General Discussion forum, currently on page 2, titled "ACTION: Pentagon Channel and Dish Networks- CALL DISH"--
Or.......is there a way I don't know about to post a link?--I'm big on following rules and don't want to ruffle any feathers around here--It's an important resource and I'd kinda like to not get booted out of here--LOL!!--C
I am a HTML illiterate, sorry, but your directions should suffice. Thanks.
What is 'DU'?
Aka The Snakepit
THAT'S what it means!!!Heheheh.
Thanks, Mike .. it's a great resource... I go there often online. What about letting DOD know about this? Wouldn't they have something to say about these idiots?
I'm sure others will have excellent ideas but one place to start is to call a base in your state and ask to speak with someone in public relations.
I'd also call my senator and congressman.
And I'd write a letter to the editor about this matter.
Thank you for taking action!
Good idea, Candi.
