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!
That's the SPIRIT!
I live around the corner from those lying _______'s on 57th Street, will be able to make in the morning.

How do we get this thread up front where all can see? I know people are ready to do more than sit in their "PJ's" and rant.. I say it is time to RAVE!! Who agrees?
Keep bumping it.
Don't worry, it's getting late,
I will bump the heck out of it tomorrow.
Heard on the radio that San Antonio, Texan's are going to protest Tues. Sept. 21 at the local CBS affiliate. Contact radio station WOAI for info.
Perfect, like I said before, one day is not enough, spread it out, and hit em good!
Is there still a KTSA down there? I used to live off of Eisenhower Road, right off I-35.
This time I really do have to go. Gotta go check local primary results.
Primary day here in NY.
Nitey Nite shirt, zzzzzzzzzz
WooHoo! Sounds like a deal to me.
Sorry I didn't reply directly to your initial post and forgot to add your name in my response to the ping I answered.
All in all, though - great idea! Sounds good to me!
Yes, we still have KTSA. Rush moved to WOAI, though. I heard that there are 100 people going to the protest. I think it will grow. I had planned to go with my spouse but that day we are leaving for Hawaii. Protests are so much fun, I hate to miss it.
The following are Viacom owned companies. A conservative parent's worst nightmare.

Remember Simon & Schuster who paid Hillary $8 million for her book & CBS did that lovely hatchet job on President Reagan with Mr. Streisand. |
