This if made national will be a huge BIG DEAL and will scare the S(^%T out of them.

GREAT IDEA.................and give the money you would have paid them to PAUL!

Lets getter done!!

 

[fxmercenary]

I work for comcast =( dont put me on the streets! every one of us is voting for Ron Paul. I converted the whole call center!!! +150 Votes!

 

[Patrick_Henry]

YES!

We need to get a petition site set up. People will submit their name and information about their current cable provider. Once we get enough people to sign the petition we will bring it to the various cable providers telling them to tell the news agencies to shape up or 50,000 people are not going to be buying cable next year.

Is anyone interested in getting this started?

 

[ronpaulfollower999]

Its not the cable companies, its the news companies.

[Edit- Sorry for all the other edits, my computer keeps messing up]

 

[ronpaulfollower999]

I would have gotten rid of cable anyway since by 2009 (I think) everyone has to have digital cable or something like that.

I dont have that kind of $$$

EXACTLY.

We dont put up commercials, we dont run ads.

We broadcast exactly what we get from the T.V. Stations.

There is no "cable conspiracy" its foolish.

Cnn Broadcasts to us, we pick up that signal, and broadcast it out, no interceptions or editing at all. You wanna make a differece? Turn the news off.

you can go ' free to air ' ... many people still believe anything over the airwaves should be free as the internet ... a forgotten right

kill the banks

great poster :

 

[Dojo]

Tried this

I was so angry, I called to cancel, and they offered me a discount to stay on... So I still have it. SO, at the very least, maybe everyone will get a a rate cut. They will lose money, but they are desparate to keep subscribers for their advertisers.

 

[walt]

OK

what date?

how to quantify it?

run with it...

CNN, MSNBC, Fox, etc get a fraction of your cable bill every month and they sell your viewership to advertisers

 

[S3eker]

This seems like too much too early. I think for something like this to work you would need to start small and see how that goes. Perhaps do a negative money bomb on a company that ran an add during a time when someone was unfair with Ron Paul on TV.

I agree, but the people can't have a major rapid response by boycotting the MSM sponsors. Our only way to express our dislike for the controlled media would be this type of action.

I suggest that we take this theme but we go to a petition site, put up a petition that will go to the cable companies. We will tell the cable companies that they must put pressure on the MSM to report fairly, or we will have no choice but to cut the cord. Interesting.

I do not wish to put any one on the streets or out of a job,,,,,,,we must try to do this in a controlled manner.

 

[Cigaboo]

This is a good idea. I don't have cable personally, but a good idea for those who do.

 

[nbhadja]

Bump, its the only way they will listen.
