LLS and I are talking, she came up with this idea...

Local texas businesses that advertise on BELO stations and in BELO newspapers - would telling them we'll boycott/picket THEIR businesses create some pressure on BELO to let Deb into the upcoming debates?

Thoughts?

When you guys call up BELO let them know of the boycott. Its a good way to go I think.

I will watch and record advertisers on the local news on channel 11 out of Houston, get their numbers and contacts, and then post the list here.

We need someone to do the other stations.

The big one will be WFAA in Dallas, because they are the one running the show on this debate.

I missed the noon news on Channel 11 Houston.

I was actually on the phone with the GM of the Austin station - she came across as empathetic.

Also, I had contacted the wrong investor relations person (he's with the spun off print media company) and even HE is aware of the huge stink the BELO decision is causing.

KEEP UP THE PRESSURE!!!

These companies might not be buying ad time specifically for WFAA, but I saw them on their website before the videos:

Apple Orthodontix
Cotton (yeah, try boycotting that)
M&Ms
North Texas Honda

In her interview on AJ's show today, Debra said keep putting pressure on BELO and their advertisers. Plus, help her campaign out financially, so they can buy advertising to get the message out.
