2. I'm in. Let's make a specific action plan.
1) Regarding Advertising-
A. We need to raise money for this by contacting possible revenue sources. We should contact Randy Rhodes, Mike Malloy and Laura Flanders, William Rivers Pitt, Greg Palast, etc. to enlist their help for accessing these groups and individuals since they have access to some major players that we don't. Other ideas on who we might approach?

Please list your suggestions here on who we should approach:
a. George Soros
b MoveOn (it's worth a try but I'm not sure about them now)
c Alliance for Democracy
d- ? OTHER IDEAS

2) We need a powerful, non-partisan message to inspire individuals and groups to join us in raising funds to raise awareness. Post ideas here (here are some that I've gathered)
a. Fair Elections
b Prove My Vote Counts
c Votergate 2004--DEMAND THE TRUTH
d "Question the Election- Our Democracy is at Risk" (my message to my newsletter readers)
e- ? Other ideas here


3) We need a press release and mission statement to send to these people/groups once we identify them and know we are able to get to them directly. Anyone want to create something that states exactly what we are asking for? WE need to be specific in what we are requesting.

4) We should study what they did in the Ukraine. How did they get the word out to millions of their citizens? Was it because they had the support of the American government to take out ads and get the word out (unlike here)? How did they do it?

5) We need to LINK ALL OF THE GROUPS TOGETHER- there are hundreds of us now out there - how can we do this and form one big umbrella organization? There are web pages showing them all- but we need ONE MAJOR GROUP to oversee this and coordinate the efforts for rallies, fund raising, campaigns, etc. Any ideas on how to approach this?

Can Truthout.org help here?


Time is running out and we need to take action. Massive Action. AND we need the world- national and international-- to know about this.

(I feel much better now. Thanks for the opportunity to post this stuff!)
