Phone blitz is ON!!!

[Eponym_mi]

If you get voicemail and it is full, punch * and check for transfer options. There are some nice surprises that were not on the list.

I did this a few times and actually got a live person. The young lady I spoke with was polite but I could tell she must have had that "deer in the headlights" look on her face. After a minute or so of conversation, she seemed to warm up a bit and was actually somewhat supportive. She mentioned that "every phone in the place is continuously ringing off the hook".

Keep up the onslaught and remember to be assertive but polite!. The people you'll be talking to are not responsible for Fox's despicable actions. They're just people like you and me trying to earn a living.

Yeah, I agree this is key.

We will lead by moral example.

Excellent! The Washington office has a spell by name directory, so, you could probably go for any on-air names you know and possibly common names like Smith, Jones, etc..

Also, looking over the phone numbers, it seems like Fox News has a PBX and a large block of numbers within an exchange. So, any number in the range 202-824-6XXX is probably going to get you someone in their office.

Email is a complete waste of time. Remember, we're just a dozen spammers in the basement of our parents house (except me, I'm 45 and moved out when I was 15). They probably delete every email about Ron Paul before it is even read.

I agree... e-mails will be deleted by the tens of thousands. ...but what to do about those pesky phone calls!?!?!?

Time to stand tall

Somethings that were said by jeff_from_VA and others have been haunting me for a while. Specifically, there were comments stating that an organized barrage of phone calls intending to tie up Fox's phones was "illegal" and "improper". "How could we suggest such a crazy action?"

I just viewed the video posted in this section of the forum about Ralph Nader's exclusion from a Fox debate. The goons from Fox and the Debate Commission had the balls and the horsepower to misuse the State Police to threaten Nader with arrest if he tried to enter the debate even though he had a ticket. The cop treated Nader like he was a common criminal.

I challenge anyone to view that video and then tell us that our intended actions are "over the top". It is time to wake up to the reality that our electoral process - the process that is the keystone to a free society - has been compromised. Without a free election, totalitarianism is inevitable. Its also time to wake up and accept the fact that the clock is ticking. The Ron Paul candidacy is the best chance, and may be our last chance, to save our Republic from demise. Four more years of hyper-inflation of the dollar, imperialistic foreign policy, erosion of our rights to privacy, and the exponential growth of socialism are sure to destroy that which so many have given so much to preserve. Considering the sacrifices that so many have made for our freedom, supporting a phone blitz against Fox is a very small thing to ask.

Using last month's casualty count (41 American soldiers dead) as a monthly average, four more years in Iraq will take almost 2,000 more soldiers' lives.

In view of all of this, I have no respect for the "candy asses" who are too afraid to make phone calls because of some remote chance that such action could be construed as "illegal". I risked a Hell of a lot more when I served in the Air Force.

212-301-3300 is the Breaking News desk. Someone answered but didn't want to respond to questions...told me he is required to pass me to the viewer comments voicemail box. So, the word is out to stonewall.

Keep calling folks!

 

[boethius27]

Just called. Must have got the same guy. Put me through to the user comment voicebox which was, of course, full. So my call was basically useless.

I'll call again later.

 

[Proctor]

Don't be like "I'LL KILL YOUR FAMILY AND MURDER YOU TWICE IF YOU DON'T INCLUDE RON PAUL"

I know some people take it to those extremes, and I'm asking the people that do that...to not call.

 

[Eponym_mi]

212-301-3301 is one of the Control rooms at Fox News....the guy was saying repeatedly "I can't talk right now, we're on the air"

That's the kind of pressure that will do the most good... all those calls - especially to phones in key operational areas - will make it harder for them to conduct "business as usual".

In addition to bombarding the Fox people, make sure we get on Rush this week. I'll try.
