I tried the Oprah route already with no success. Check the archives.

A year ago, I tried very hard to get Oprah to become involved in the 40th anniversary of the march from Selma to Montgomery and to look at the unfinished work of these heroes. I had letter-writing campaigns on numerous blogs. I wrote her a snail mail letter (each one different) every day for a full month, filled with history of those who fought for voting rights. I sent key people on the show FedEx packets filled with info and cover letters pleading for her to consider this idea for her show. In addition, I e-mailed her show on this idea and on electronic voting in general for months literally.

I had access to several producers and other insiders.

I had key congressional leaders interested in the idea, however, the staffs warned me saying, "Oprah doesn't do politics."

I even considered camping out in from of Harpo Studios with signage.

Never heard back from ANYONE. Zilch.
