Creating A Media Storm With FAX Machines

by Lynda Carson
Major PR Firms are being used through the media to hoodwink the public. Join in to create worlds biggest
Counter-Propaganda Firm.
Dear Comrads...    Media Fax List Below.....
              Compliments to Medea Benjamen of Global Exchange/Green Party
for the outstanding media events created to take on the energy thugs. They
offer hope. Wheres everyone else? We all need to unite on this one. You know this is true!

                Have no doubt that P.G.&E., Duke, Enron, Reliant, the P.U.C., F.E.R.C., Governors Office,
White House etc,,,all have the finest PR Firms that
are working overtime to convince us that the fix is in, and that we are helpless. Maybe yes, maybe no.....But the PROPAGANDA is thick!

                The list below of FAX Numbers is more than enough access to the media for all of us to outdo the best of PR Firms feeding their energy crisis propaganda into the News Rooms.

                 Think COUNTER PROPAGANDA!

                  If every last one of you reading this, set up a schedule for LUNCH TIME PROTESTS, and sent the media a flier of when your event is to occur/and where, it will set ripples thru the system. The eye's and ears of the powers to be listen closely to their puppets in the media. Fliers coming into the News Rooms for a thousand different protest's ahead make BIG NEWS !

                  It's simple. Have your office staff use their lunchtime's for creative protest's. If you simply walk around the block to scream and yell, thats just fine. Use you own imagination. When your ready, spread to bigger events. Share protest dates to keep track of events with all. Life is to short to take this shit sitting down! Whats it take to convince all of
you to make a stand?

                   Whatever you do, do not remain silent. For the protest, make some fliers, and FAX them into all the News Rooms listed below. Start now, and within a week watch the news reports talk about the rebellion against the rippoff.

As they say;

    If you don't like the news, go out and make some of your own!

Also, CH 4 has a comprehensive local media guide on their website:

http://www.kron.com/nc4/4listens/media_guide/stations_index.html
1) a blind fax to no particular person doesn't get as much play or notice as one sent to the assignment editor or other approprate editor or reporter by name.

2) having the phone number or extention for the above-mentioned folks comes in real handy, because if you're going to go to the trouble of sending a fax blitz to the media you would do well to make follow-up calls to ensure someone will actually be assigned to cover the story/event.

Connections into the media do not come as easy as the Fax Numbers...I learned that one develops relations
and that is up to the individual to make the effort to do so....Experience helps...
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
