Project Media Q3: Help Spread The Word About Ron Paul (http://www.therobert.org/stuff/rpmq3/)

The goal of project Media Q3 is to raise the awareness of the media about Ron Paul's third quarter earnings in as little time as possible, to as many people as possible, from as many people as possible. It will consists of 100 different possible e-mail messages publicizing his earnings, one of which will be chosen to be sent (for every e-mail registered -- this means you!) to every mainstream journalist interested in Ron Paul or the election. For example, if the e-mails of 120 journalists are collected, and the e-mails of 200 Ron Paul supporters are collected, then these 120 journalists will get 200 e-mails from these Ron Paul supporters (although we might limit the number and just choose a fixed number of random e-mails to send from for each journalist) over a time span of several days. Since 100 different e-mail messages will be written, it will appear to the journalists that everyone is sending their own message, and not a canned copy-paste e-mail.

You can now help out by just typing your e-mail, but even better, writing a message to the main stream media! Note you do not strictly have to write about the $1mill fundraiser, although that is what will most likely catch their attention.

I will be posting this on the RP Facebook group, and other sources. Please help me spread it, people!

Let's do this!!!

P.S. I'm one of the contraband developers who want to eradicate Internet Explorer. So, please, use Firefox for this one. :-) (or some non-IE equivalent)

Everybody should sign up for this. It could really help get the campaign some coverage.

Of course, I hope it's not going to be just me putting in e-mails to send! Just 100 to go. ;-)

Haha, I've been working on the code, so I didn't get a chance to put some in. Well, it's late, but tomorrow I'll definitely throw in a dozen journalists and e-mails.

We need to work together on this one!

I wrote CNN

Cnn you are one of the premeir news stations, i just wish you would give some more accurate reporting on Ron Paul, He has recently raised 1.2 million in 7 days, a feat none of the front runners can match! His staff is still counting contributions and his raising this past quarter is expected to be in excess of 5 million. Please take the time to give some fair coverage of Ron Paul! Thanks!

Make sure you message is always nice and positive. Here is the link to write CNN.

I have signed up and added a local reporter who seems to be fairly even-handed towards RP.

I was going to ad a letter to the editor but I'm not sure yet of how this will work.

Can you put an "expiration" for the letters.

So you might have 100 letters, 50 of them are generic enough that they can be used over and over as more news folks are added, 30 might be letters about something within the past month, 15 might be from something that happened in the past week and 5 might be current news that would expire in a day or so.

I wouldn't want to put in something about Ron Paul raising a million dollars last week and have it go through in November.

I don't know if I would say the 5 mill part because that is really speculative.

These will all go through in about 15 days. I could make the system very fancy and add all kinds of specific, but one of the goals is to keep it as simple as possible. More personalization would certainly catch a journalist's attention, but I doubt they carefully read all those e-mails, anyways, so if they get a whole dozen just about Ron Paul, I'm sure that will give them cause to raise their eyebrow. :-)

Please, add whatever you can. If you want, just word the same thing ("Ron Paul makes $1.2mill in 7 days!") in ten different ways; that's the goal, for there to be many messages so it looks like they're all handwritten, and not just one copy of the same thing.

Another bump.

Sorry about that, but this really is serious. We're already got 25 e-mails, and I'm getting some people to add a bunch of possible e-mails tomorrow. Let's roar to the MSM!

Everybody enter the $5mill story and journalists that have reported it! And add your e-mail if you haven't already! This will go out in about a week or two.
