Demand equal time. This is not news reporting, this is opinion as to who should be included and who should be excluded.

No offense to you but most are not able to grasp what you are saying.

That is the problem in a nutshell. People equate A with B, because they don't know any better. That's why we sometimes have to downplay what we know--so that those who may not understand what you're saying do not misinterpret. I know what you're saying, but what percentage of the public knows the difference between this particular ideology and a particular religion?

It would be wise to have our emails be well mannered and articulate in order to avoid any negative blowback towards our good cause. Let our opinions be heard in a enlightening manner

I felt too lazy to type an e-mail this morning so i just called the phone number. I stated why i was calling and she said that they were only doing the top 5 from each party. I asked her why Ron Paul was excluded from this and she says it's because he wasn't in the top 5 then i went off kind of for a second and said:
"You guys are usually pretty good about reporting the news but if you don't believe Ron Paul has a better chance than Tancredo and Hunter then you guys must be smokin' crack rocks in the green room. He's raised more money than any of them and i'v never in my entire life seen a Tancredo or Hunter sign anywhere in Michigan. For that matter i havn't ever seen a Rudy sign out here either but Ron Paul signs are all over the place. Do you realise that by doing this you are alienating a huge potential future audience and putting your credibility forever at risk with every Ron Paul supporter and trust me there are allot more than you think because Ron Paul is not the Federal Reserve, he can not come up with that money from nowhere. That money is the same money that could be spent on supporting your sponsors if you were to be found a credible news outlet. Pass that along to Katie for me would ya....

In fact i recommend everybody call the phone number and e-mail them too.

 

[Madison]

I called that number and got a voice mail...I basically said it made no sense not to include Ron Paul due to his fundraising, steady rise in polls, popularity with military donors, etc.

 

[The Plan]

that's weird because i actually got a real person on the phone when i called.

 

[Madison]

Hopefully that means they're getting a lot of calls. I just called again and it again went to a recording/voice mail after several rings.

[Mark Rushmore]

Hello,

My name is Mark Rushmore and I am from xxxxxxxxx, New Jersey. I have been watching CBS evening news ever since I was old enough to join my parents in watching. I am also a supporter of Ron Paul for President in 2008. For a long time there have been rumors and talk about effective media censorship through selectivity in reporting and biases in candidate face-time that far exceed discrepancies in polling percentages. I never gave these rumors much thought.

That changed today, when I found out that Katie was going to be covering presidential candidates that have less money raised than Rep. Paul (in this quarter) by nearly five-fold and are polling lower than Paul in the key early state of New Hampshire - yet will not be featuring Paul himself? Whether by these factual criteria, or a simple analysis that shows (excepting Huckabee) Paul with the strongest upward momentum in a field where the trend in general is towards receding poll numbers, it is hard to view this decision on the part of CBS in good faith.

I look forward to seeing the situation rectified by broadcast time - or an announcement made that Paul will be getting a compensatory one-on-one interview in the same slot on some future day.

Sincerely,

Mark

So lets educate ourselves!

Support Operation Front Door!

Operation Front Door". Basically the plan is to get meetups all across the country to have a big canvassing push the week after the 16th. This will coincide with the December 16th tea party-

Picture this; You're sitting at home watching the evening news and you're seeing "Ron Paul makes another fund raising record" then 'knock-knock'- it's Ron Paul supporters at your door. That's kind of the idea. While the media is pushing the fund raising we're knocking on doors showing how strong this grassroots campaign is and offering information about Ron Paul....

Is anyone keeping a running tab of all the MSN abuses we have sustained since the outset of Dr. Paul's campaign? This by itself should have it's own website.
