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!
ping your needed!
Chicago Freepers? Are we doing anything about a downtown WBBM protest?!
Thanks for the ping :o)
In God We Trust
..Semper Fi!
Haven't seen you in a long time, we need to get Heritage Club up and running, get some good work done.
Is anyone in the area organizing anything for Cleveland?
I will be running an Operation Streetcorner at the Better in Mentor festival this weekend, in addition to working the Pubbie tent and walking the parade for BJ, (umbrellas optional). Shore Jr High on Heisley Saturday morning at 9AM. If you march with BJ you can help me with Operation Street Corner.
OSC is an outgrowth of the KerryLied campaign and rally and focuses on Sen Kerry's less than stellar military record when he was in the Naval Reserve and his traitorous behavior once he came back to the good ole USA. I brought back some good ideas from D.C., and it should be an adventure when I run up against the Kerry Bots in Mentor, especially those who were no even a gleam in their daddy's eye when JFK did the deeds.
Please keep me posted on what is going on.
Thanks bitt. I will work on this tonight at home and send to my local seeBS affiliate.

I'm in. CBS News will be getting a little "nasty-gram" from me today and tomorrow!
I understand the urgency of this, but we're having a guest this weekend (Ivan the Terrible). He is demanding our attention.
Hey, Good luck! Our thoughts & prayers are TRULY with you. If you need help, just yell. FReepers will Help.
WAY TO GO MEEK!
Ping-a-leevie-O
bttt!!!
a most excellent idea.
main message point, signs HAVE to center around the word "forgery" -- my suggestion is that two signs in articular have to be there with great abundance.. one that says "It's the FORGERY, Dan." And signs that simply say "FORGERY" with the "O" as the cbs logo...

I'm an Mesa, Arizona Freeper. Will someone please email me and let me know if there is something planned for here in AZ. I would absolutely love to get involved and be a part of it...
Thanks
Did you check your State bulletin board? If it's not there, put it up there.
