Bless you, EBUCK. The billboard is simply incredible. I'm sure it has started a dialogue, one the environmentalists will have to begin responding to....instead of slyly working behind our backs as they've done for years.

Great News!

Press Release distribution is new to me, but learning as we go here. I am wondering if the PR site left out the picture of the BB, because LINKS to pics are all that appear in Press Releases according to AP/UPI format rules? Now that calls for another "link", EBUCK. Using same URL but naming it "Photo of BillBoard in Oregon", maybe? I think this is because PR's are "copy only" for broadcasters to read. Anyone with any tips here? Backhoe? Carry_Okie?

Eric, have you sent this to any of the sites linked? on the front page of FreeRepublic?

Perhaps freepers could post email addresses for local, national and international outlets for you to use. It seems you get a more personal response when the PR comes directly from you. I would try some UK outlets, also.

Okay, just brainstorming here. I'll be baaaack.!
