He was not contacted through Free Republic. He was contacted through Military Families Voice of Victory. We had Moms with children serving and one gold star mom contact us to do the segment right after Kristin agreed to represent us. He was there as a representative of MFVOV not Free Republic. Free Republic got air time at the expense of a military family group.

OK. You've stated that a number of times. Maybe you should talk to Kristinn about it to see what happened. I can assure you that it was not an intentional slight on his part and that he supports your organization completely. His message on Hardball, although not specifically an endorsement of MFVOV, was in line with what you would have wanted said, was it not? Have you ever been on camera in front of milli...er...well, in the case of Hardball...thousands, with a host hostile to your point of view and a history of badgering and cutting off guests? It can be nerve wracking and before you know it your segment is over. You don't get to say half the things you intended to say. Additionally, it is usually the job of the producers or the host to mention any association with the group that they invited on the show in the first place. Kristinn may have expected MFVOV to be included in the info along with his name or in the crawl. But, as I said, it would be appropriate for you to take this up directly with Kristinn than to start publically complaining until you've heard exactly what happened and why.
