I'm RSVP'd to be at the Edwards NH Primary after Party with Video camera ready to upload

I'll be heading to NH today to document with HiDef video camera the messages, words, and images of the Edwards Campaign thanks to the generosity of Takebackthemedia.com fans. I'm going to take charge of the People's Media and bypass the MSM who are either blacking out or minimalising Edwards messages to The People.

An end run.

I'll be uploading the latest gigs, the crowds that fill venues for Edwards, beginning with RSVP'ing for the NH Primary after Party...

Hoping to bring some killer footage to the Web, and SPAM the Internet with it.

Those that know me, know that I get the story, and I'm going to bring them to you, god willing..

Wish me luck, and with any luck I'll be following the Edwards Campaign all the way to the Convention - he says he's going that far and I believe him.

He's a Fighter, so am I, and so are all of Us, The People :)

Stay tuned!

:thumbsup:

:evilgrin:

Why, are you going to be there too? Love to mix with some DU'rs! :)

I was only kidding. I'm in California. Luckily, my husband is used to my perverse sense of humor. :hi:

just asking. . . .of couse I would have to ask my wife and then the whole thing just sort of gets unmnagable, so maybe not.
:rofl:

You just let us know what we can do to help, k?

for Admin permission to fundraise, when/if I get that I'll post a thread asking if folks want to help, until then...

Actually, going to get a few hours of sleep (I'm in Hawaii - gonna be a hairy ride) and then call into Takebackthemedia.com's old pal Randi Roades, and see if she'll help me get some folks out there to help me out :)

Thanks for the compliment, much appreciated! :)

Thank you so much.

Please God, let these fine warriors have paypal.

and i'll make sure that myfoxnewsonline.com and hqrnc.org carry the articles and endorse John Edwards :evilgrin:

probably be my wife, Demobabe, who will be the contact, she's "mission control" while I'm out there :)

:applause: :applause: :yourock: :patriot::patriot::patriot: :yourock: :applause: :applause:

Go John!!!! Go Symbolman!!!! Yeah!!!!!!

:yourock:

Let's roll!

Inspiring me and everything :)

These people go 36 hours at a stretch! Boundless energy, just amazing...

Many thanks, and its really not all H2OMan's fault, many here Inspired me :)

you are inspiring many here on DU. Thank you very much for that.

You jet-setter you.

Safe Journey.

you may be the ONLY press at the Edwards campaign. The blackout continues on NBC this morning. Meredith V. spent 10 minutes with Tweety this morning, talking about what it's like "on the ground" there in NH and Edwards name wasn't even mentioned in passing....

they DO NOT want their Monopolies busted up, well, they've got a problem, people like US :)

Someone should start a thread documenting Edwards not being mentioned, watch all the stations folks, maybe I can point the Edwards Campaign to it..

The Invisible Candidate Watch :)

Lou Dobbs in covering the Edwards candidacy as the candidate who has vowed to fight for the middle class, and is urging Independents to consider voting for Edwards. He's sick, sick, sick and tired of the way Washington ignores the plight of the working class, and he's finally found a candidate who agrees that government needs to be of, by and for the people.

Never mind. I must be hallucinating again.

thanks symbolman do your thing.

How can we all help?

Hold me :)

Its a Looong way from Hawaii... Call them up, tell them documentation help is on the way, that we are sick of him being The Invisible Candidate :)

And contribute (TBTM).

many thanks.. I dont know how to thank everyone, there's so many of you, and I've got so much work to do..

Time to get a few hours of sleep, then get up early and hit Randi's show, hope she's into it.. In reality its about More than a Presidential Race...

Sleep now, Thanks Everyone, where ever you are!

Can't wait to see the video!

then it essentially becomes a two-person race, with advantage to Edwards . . . as his message gets out more and more, he'll attract more and more support, more and more cash, and more and more votes . . .

while Obama is a powerful and charismatic speaker, people will soon start asking "Where's the beef?" . . . and the candidate with the beef is John Edwards . . .

and I think we can really help, ala the Dean Internet Principal, he raised, I think 7 Million bucks and it blew them away..

Its a simple formula, and always has been - More Eyeballs = More Money

This is awesome what you are doing. Sending you good vibes!

If Edwards is the next President of the United States. He will take on these out of control Corporations as did FDR.
No other candidate can, or will...

Sadly, Obama would be just another pushover for big Corporations, as they have contributed heavily to his candidacy...

"Edwards has a sincere deep passion for his support of the middle class, like no other."

The corporate media is aiming against Edwards, who threatens their strangle hold-- on OUR government.
MSM's obvious agenda -- marginalize Edwards and his message...

"while Obama is a powerful and charismatic speaker, people will soon start asking "Where's the beef?" . . . and the candidate with the beef is John Edwards . . ." That's So True!, OneBlueSky :hug:

Is there some place we can contribute to this cause? ($).

but the Admins so far haven't authorized me to ask for donations in a thread..

When I find out I'll post, you can read about my plans at http://www.takebackthemedia.com

Please help and ask others to help. You'll be glad you did. This is important stuff, as we all know.

Our poor man's weapon of mass communication. We are the voice.

In the meantime, we need to get the phone numbers for all the major networks and major newspapers, and call 'em 'til the phones burn up. It's time they hear the news from us!!

You get out there and MASSACRE the MSM!

I'll be waiting for your every report.

:kick:

Have a good trip!!

I'm thinking about driving up there myself!

I'm an Edwards supporter. I'll be watching for your links and pass them along to help get John's message to the people.
:yourock:

Good luck from your northern friend.

:kick:

Good Speed Symbolman! :toast:

Its just that Symbolman can't ask here without moderator approval. He asked them for permission but they haven't replied yet.

:thumbsup:

:yourock:

I'm so glad to hear this.

Please keep us updated with a link to your work.

You know we have your back.
;-)

This is great. I envy you.

I hope it goes viral, the moment it touches the Web. :)

I supported Symbolman's efforts by going to http://www.takebackthemedia.com, clicking on > > > Click here to contribute, and adding a comment referencing Symbolman with my contribution.

Be the media! Help keep Edward's message alive in the face of an ongoing media brownout.

See? Vou Playa!

:kick:

:yourock:

I hope things go well for you and appreciate that fire in the belly you have.
I'm not an Edwards supporter but I think what you are doing in opposition of the blackout of Edwards in the mess media is crucially important.

You wouldn't want to mention somewhere along the way how Kucinich has been treated that way as well? :D

Great!

:hi:

:yourock:

:kick:

STFU M$M!

So glad you are going! Peace!

based on issue-oriented keywords.

E.g. google "iraq war". let's have a google ad on the left with the title "John Edward's Plan to end the Iraq War" or some such.
Then link it to pages of your footage, or link to JE's issue page.

Although who's gonna fund this haha.

None of the candidate seems to be using pay-per-click advertising, which seems kinda mysterious to me.
People are making millions off of this; why can't candidates use it to raise money/awareness?

PS - i take that back. McCain and Obama have ads running. Google their names.
McCain is also bidding on "health care reform", with this ad:

Health care reform
John McCain Has a Bold PLan
for Health Care. Learn More Today!
JohnMcCain.com/HealthCare
:puke:

Our candidates should be doing this. If I had money i'd set up my own damn ads for them.

:kick:

point me where and i will get the news from you symbolman

Keep fighting the good fight!

:hi:

:toast:

:D :applause: :thumbsup: Take care, have fun, and keep us posted! :hug:

:grouphug:

Good going! Let me know if I can help in some way.

Thank you symbolman. :toast:

he's not allowed to ask, but if ya read between the lines you'll be able to see where you can donate.

:hippie: :toast:

:hi:

Can't wait to see the footage, hope you catch some good stuff!

:applause:Way to go Symbolman:applause: Looking forward to your coverage. The only place where you can really hear and understand a candidates platform is watching c-span. I watch every chance I can. However, the MSM decided that that wasn't anything they are interested in, ya know informing the voters. Instead we get these pointless debates, where everything is skewed by the MSM, to make candidates look bad, silly, or just to garner soundbites.

Perhaps I could do some Quicktime videos of JE to help with the effort.

Cash poor these days. Livin' on credit cards, Yikes:scared:

But it looks as tho you have plenty of backing here. I can only contribute my services through video editing and video presentations, but that is WORTH something.

Will try and work on some things later today.

Good Luck:hi:

camera rolling! This heart is with you! Edwards all the way!

Thank you so much! I hope you get permission to fundraise, as I would like to pitch in... wish I was there and could help on the ground!

go symbolman ;)

and done. ;)

:yourock:

MKJ

The suspense is killing me.

If the media won't play fair, than neither will John's supporters. As they say, "All's fair in love and war" and this is definitely WAR!!!

:yourock: symbolman! Thanks again for your time and effort.

I know you're going to do us proud! :bounce:

sw

Let's carry John to the WHITE HOUSE!

:hug: :yourock:

I wish someone could do this for Dennis Kucinich.

Thanks for going when the rest of us can't (this time). I'm looking forward to the video and whatever you bring back.

click here

And once you're there, click here and in the "item" line, specify that it's for Symbolman's Edwards media project.

I'm sure every bit of support will help!

:kick:

:)

Go Symbolman!!

:(

try again... anyone else having a problem?

:hi:

I'm so psyched that you are doing something so PROACTIVE to cover his campaign! Rock on, man!

like you are. I salute you and thank you. :patriot:

I loved your videos from the last election. They did work. I used one of them to convince several (R) voters to change their mind.

I know that so many of us here are with you in SPIRIT, LOVE & BIG HEARTS! I have such admiration for what you are doing, and if and when you get the go ahead to raise funds you can count on me!

I may not be able to give as much as others, but I WILL give what I can. I don't know how many times I've donated to his campaign so far, but it doesn't matter. What you are going to undertake is EXTREMELY important and means so much to those of us who are LOYAL Edwards supporters!

I made a decision a long time ago that I WAS NOT going to be part of an election of ANOTHER candidate that has been nominated simply because they had MORE MONEY or MORE ATTENTION than others who were running. I have spent many sleepless nights thinking about this election and what the consequences will mean. It's that important to me, so what you are doing means more than you can imagine. I "fear" and I mean "fear" that Democrats may get swept up in all the media hype and glitz and glamor and will settle for that. And if it does happen I already know that I can't be part of it.

I've been a Democrat since I was 11 years old, obviously I couldn't vote then, but as a BOOMER I've seen a lot and have learned how to lose graciously. This may be my last foray into the political arena as an activist so I will stay an Edwards supporter no matter what! Living in Florida and with our machines, I can't write in a name, but I can skip certain parts on the ballot. And because I truly believe that Edwards would make a GREAT President... he's who I'm going to stick with.

Thank you again... and knock 'em dead!!!

We'll be waiting.

Go kick ass.

that's terrific!!! I'm going to send this to Mike
Rock the House!

:hug:

You fucking rock Symbolman! I've loved your work for a long time. Things are tight right at the moment but when I get settled in at my new job I'll pass some bucks your way.

I can't wait to see and pass along your work!

Rp

and i could nit agree more..screw the MSM..we can do this with or without them!!

i keep hearing that song in my head..

This is my country..land that i love..

You go get it all Symbolman...we await your pics!!

fly

:yourock:

Getting the word out for you, for Edwards, and for all of us! BE THE MEDIA!!!!!!!

:bounce: :toast: :yourock: :headbang: :applause: :woohoo: :woohoo: :applause: :headbang: :yourock: :toast: :bounce:

THANK YOU!!!!! Thank you for taking this matter into your own hands, literally!

It is shameful the way the corporate media has excluded Edwards. We need you now. Like ripples in a pond, your impact will be far-reaching and touch more people than you'll ever know...

God bless you. Can't wait to see your footage! :)

symbolman (clap)....
