If your local paper has endorsed Bush, kindly go to your DU State Forum

[Bossy Monkey]

and start a thread urging a letter to the editor campaign against that paper. Letters should be clear, cogent, short, and mention that you have been a subscriber since 1855 but that you are now cancelling that subscription. (Ok, maybe that last bit is a little over the top, but you get the idea.) I tried this in a number of state forums (fora, whatever) last week, but unfortunately, there are too many Bush papers now. Also, "Hi, I'm a yoyo from SC and I think YOU should write LTTEs to your local paper" kind of came across a little ridiculous.

Thanking you all in advance, and for all you do.

3. Don't forget to fill their voicemail boxes at night and cancel your

subscription.

It's easier to ignore emails than voicemail.

4. PS: If you're unsure, or if you don't have the paper in front of you

for reference, wonderful DUer tesibria has maintained a running tally of newspaper endorsements, including links to the articles, here:

5. PPS If your paper endorsed Bush on the grounds Kerry has a weak record

in the Senate, A) they're delusional, but B) curse10 provides this link to outstanding Salon article on Kerry cracking BCCI and Iran-Contra: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1160024
It's also in Editorials & Other Articles.

6. What if we don't go "kindly"?

;)

Anyhow, I think we've already started ours on both the Rocky Mount News, and Denver Post.

7. Dang, it's too late to edit it to "kindly or unkindly, as you prefer, go"

:P

Actually, I was the one who started the Rocky Mountain News thread. My version of the Aspen Freak Power uprising, I guess.
