GOP wants local couple's web site shut down
Edited on Thu May-27-10 09:42 PM by FreshRocket
www.GOP2012Tampa.com is back in the news. We received a "Cease and Desist" letter last week from the RNC. The local Fox affiliate picked up on our new site, www.ChangeSurvive.com and came out today to interview us. The story is supposed to air tomorrow, but they've already published it on their web site www.myfoxtampabay.com/dpp/news/local/hillsborough/gop-wants-local-web-site-shut-down-052710. If you're on FB, give us a "Like". Thanks!

4. Fox13 called us both times
We didn't contact any media, Chris Chmura originally called us (within 18 hours of us registering the domain) because he was researching possible URL's in conjunction with the convention story. Then, he saw ChangeSurvive.com, read our letter and immediately called us to do a follow-up story. Interestingly, both local newspapers contacted us also ... after seeing the stories on Fox13.com.

5. Even though John Wilson is usually a RW talking point repeater; he surprised me the other night
He came out against what Texas was doing to textbooks in one of his editorial pieces.

9. "Greed Over People"
We should be using that in campaign ads.

http://www2.tbo.com/content/2010/may/27/271618/gop-tampa-couple-stop-using-party-name-oil-spill-w/news-politics/

Interestingly, they also seem to have another version of the exact same story headlined: It could mean 'Gulf Oil's Putrid'!
