This is the leter I sent to all of the DJ's at KHAY...I hopeit will help....

There will be another Pro-USA/Support the Troops rally this Sunday, March 30, 2003, at the corner of Victoria & Telephone in front of the Government Center from the hours of 11:30am-2pm.

Our first rally, held last weekend, was such a huge success that the general public was clamoring for another! So here we are! This is a completely grassroots, non-funded event. Every penny spent is from our pockets! We wish we had the money to take out a commercial spot to get our voices heard, but that is something that the average person just cannot do. This is why we are turning to you.

We are getting emails and calls from people that want to attend from every group of people you could imagine! At last weekends rally we had representation from W.W.II vets to small babies, bikers to suits, military spouses & parents, active duty military, and let's not forget the kids! This weekend's rally is looking like we will have even more people, also. This was/is definitely a family event. We do not block traffic, get violent, or use profanity! So therefore we haven't had much luck getting the attention of the media, who seems to be overwhelmed with video and live feeds of violent and disruptive anti-war protesters.

We just wanted to let you know that we have been trying to contact your station through Cyndy Ovalle, news editor/PSA Director for Cumulus Media. We have had no luck even getting our event listed on your Community Events Message Board.

This morning, at 6:30am, a friend of mine called me and told me that she heard Charlye mention the rally! This was a wonderful thing to hear! Thank you, Charlye!!!

All that we are asking is for media acknowledgment. We are not asking for sponsorship, money, or anything of that sort. We just want to get the word out about our event, and with KHAY doing all the different things to support the troops we were shocked to hear that your company would not help in this effort.

We appreciate any amount of publicity you can give to our event, and we would be thrilled if any of the DJ's would stop by and wave a flag!

I thank you in advance for your help in this very important matter. Please feel free to call or email me if you have any questions or concerns.

In Freedom,
