Ok gang, this is where I would like people to list any and all Blogs, Forums, etc, where people can go to post a message concerning our stated goals.
I'm guessing there may end up being some repeats so please read the lists before posting yours so we don't have 20 different people trying to send us to TownHall.com.

Search the Fred Thompson recent videos and check the comments.There are a lot of Fred08 people there. Also the people who make the videos you can hit subscribe and then e-mail back and forth. Often times they left links to other sites. But there are trolls there as well.

Hey all
I sent out a bunch of emails today with the link to the site in it & haven't heard back from anyone yet.
Also I've PM's some like minded folks on FR and still have more to go.

Thank you.
I just got back online as I had made a pevious date with the wife. If I had broken the date she would have smashed my computer.
Last night and early this morning I went back to the official Fred08 site and found that the "Saying goodbye" thread was still in business. I scolded a few people for pushing the vote for a RINO idea. Now I find myself blocked from that thread.

Great. I will be in and out of this site while I find other sites to post to. Be patient if I'm a few minutes late in responding. One good place to get out the message would be www.townhall.com/ they have a blog section whereby you can leave postings and the same is true if you got to their 'columnists' section. |

Ok, dumb question.... do we hit the ones where we think there are more Conservatives, or go strictly for the bigger delegate states?

Maybe just hit them all? I'm a lot of help right?
I'll start from the bottom of the Feb 5 list if you want to start at the top of it to get a list of newspapers. May want to seperate the media lists from this one so it's easy to find and have nothing there but contacts. What do you think?

Has anyone seen this or better yet, tried this? www.prlog.org/They claim distribution goes to google news and numerous search engines. I would like someone a little more computer savvy to read over this mess. I read the "terms" and it seemed pretty simple. |

Oh this is reaching and it will only take about two hundred of us doing it but....Rush L. has a "private" email address which is suppose to increase your chances of getting a letter read on the air. But here is the public one according to his website. He doesn't really need to read one of our letters on the air, but if he's inundated with a couple hundred emails with Thompson on subject line somewhere, then a staff member might bring it to his attention that there's a Thompson write in movement going on.
ElRushbo@eibnet.com
Just a thought.

I like the idea, how many people do you think you can raise for it?

I sent mine in this morning right before I posted here. And then emailed about 30 ppl in my contacts who I new were Fred supporters but hadn't early voted yet here in TN. First I have to convince them to vote for Fred, then take the step to mail Rush. Obviously using his "private" email would be better but you have to register and all that stuff. We don't have that kind of time to get the message before SU-Tue. I do think it'll take a wave of emails to get past his staff, though.

I understand. I'm still dealing with people who wait out the primaries and only vote in Nov when the choices have been narrowed down!!
Most of the people I know evidently don't understand what compromise will get you in the long run.
I'll send out my own and work on the rest of my contacts as well.
Whether it appears like we're making a difference on the surface or not, we are helping to sway some back to principles.

Remember Su-Tue is not the last primary date..This site politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/primaries/democraticprimaries/index.htmlbreaks down the states and when their primary/caucus is. Not sure how accurate it is because it lists Louisiana as Feb 9th, and I thought Louie already had theirs. IF its accurate it can help in giving us direction as to where to concentrate efforts with newspaper writing etc. |

I have a house full of people, so it looks like I will have to work the late shift here on the boards.
See you all later after the game. My guess is my company showed up because we have a very large TV and they probably won't leave until at least half time.

Concentrate on those that are not "winner-take-all" Do we have that info yet? Emma, Good thinking! I will be at this most of the night so post anymore useful info you can think of. Actually, I will be devoting the next 24 hours to contacting as many people as possible through the forums for each state, well except for winner take all. If anyone cares to volunteer, holler! |
