FReepers & Lurkers, Good Evening,
The time has come for us to take action. Although I am a relative newcomer to Free Republic, I have quickly come to recognize the importance and strength of this great organization.
Yes, Organization. We have a great leader: Jim Robinson. We have a Board of Directors: The Mod's. We have a General Membership: Us.
Our strength is in our numbers, unity, and determination. We talk 24/7 via this great medium, and now the time has come to put this all to good use and flex our Mighty Muscle.
FReepers Unite!
We started this thing and I for one don't take kindly to Dan Rathers casual dismissal of us. So let's put our "money where our mouth is"!
1. BOYCOTT all sponsors of the CBS evening news, and let them know it! (would someone post a list of links to the sponsors on this thread? Thank you.
2. Complain to the FCC, ask for an investigation (need a link here too).
3.Two day protest of CBS: Thursday & Friday, 9/16 & 9/17.
Here's How:
1. Inform the FReepers in your State, and then break it down into cities or CBS broadcast areas. Invite friends and neighbors, local conservative organizations, and other bloggers. Plan to meet at your local CBS affiliate.
2. Prepare signs and designate a spokesperson (got a bullhorn?), GET LOUD!
3. Wear your jammies! Put em on over your long-johns if you have to.
4. Take a day off work. Call a baby-sitter. Drive a long distance if you have to, But Make The Time.
5. Non-protesters: If you can't make the protest in person, jam their faxes and e-mails! Bombard them for two days straight. Overwhelm them for two days straight!!
6. Remember at all times, at all protests, in all faxes and e-mails to exercise proper decorum. NO: foul language, threats (only legal ones), or confrontations. We are afterall, respectable law abiding citizens.
OK? OK? OK?, LET'S GO!
Ping your lists, and JUST DO IT!
I know, ask the admin mod. He know's EVERYTHING! And he's a cool dude.
LETS GO RIGHT OUT FRONT OF CBS ON FAIRFAX AND BEVERLY...RIGHT WERE ALL THE EMPLOYEES ENTER EACH MORNING INTO THE PARKING LOT!!!!
LOS ANGELES HOW MANY ARE WITH ME!!!!????!!!!!!
Please clue me in on this "ping" thing. I am a rookie.
you and me makes 2, can we scrub up a few more. The more I think about today's broadcast, the angirer I get.
Ping: When someone wants to get your attention they ping you by putting your name in the "To" bar. It shows up in the top right corner of your screen as "New Posts To You". Just go up there and click it.
Hope that made sense, if not, ask me again.
FReepmail ('private message') firebrand. She is the FR chapter head in NYC. It would be up to her to take action at CBS's home base in NYC.
Utah call to arms, bump
Yee Hah! jmstein7! I tried to ping you too, but forgot the "7". I pinged Firebrand and left a message on her cell. I will, of course defer to her abilities as they are better than mine.
