Is this a brilliant idea? Just ditto it.

Edited on Sat Jul-14-07 07:54 PM by grasswire

Every time you send a letter to a politician urging impeachment, send a copy to CNN, MSNBC, and WaPo too.

Think of it!

Millions of communications are already urging impeachment. The media has no real evidence of the passion and urgency of those communications.

But if we were to copy them, they could only be impressed.

For maximum impact, the missives should be concentrated to several recipients. So perhaps Len Downie at WaPo. Perhaps Timmy at NBC.

Discussion?

6. Would they report it?

Or would the rove memo keep them from reporting news that is unfavorable to the regime?

They haven't done much to condemn the regime to this point, what make us think it will change now?

Great idea though, it can't hurt to copy them and maybe the flood will persuade them, I don't know.
