23. Let's be strategic about this...
A lot of what we should do next is going to depend on events on Jan. 6. All our effort should be aimed at that date right now--getting news coverage, and pressuring Dems to put up a united front. If all is Iron Curtained, then, Project #2 should be an organized boycott of the MSM SPONSORS, SUBSIDIARIES' PRODUCTS, STOCKS and other items to hit them financially, a la the Sinclair Broadcasting project, perhaps combined with an educational campaign to boycott the networks'news and entertainment broadcasts. A boycott of broadcasts, by itself, is too diffuse a thing. I can't think how to implement it on anything but an individual basis.

We may also want to concentrate on the worst of them first, and do them one at a time--which would concentrate our financial and P.R. power, and given warning to the least worst that they had better reform their news departments or they're next.

We could also do a quickie organizing thing between Jan. 6 and Jan. 20. My first thought, some kind of visual protest, I'm not sure what--that maybe could combine with a network boycott. Something all Kerry voters and concerned Americans can participate in, not just those who can go to DC. Headlights on? Something to hang in the window? Maybe handwritten signs all over the nation's windows: "Kerry won! Turn off your TV!" 60 million protest phone calls to the network news departments? I don't know. Ideas?
