16. The Addies are Great, but....I think the text is too long

For one thing, a lot of people don't know how to handle the long URLs. If they click them once and they don't work, they just give up. My suggestion would be to use the URL already cited, (i.e. Stolen elections), or this one, which I think it one of the best overview sites I've seen (because it's also very well organized, gives people a quick one-glance chance to go to the information that would be most convincing "investigations," "scholarly analyses" etc. )

Did your vote count? Election 2004
http://shadowbox.i8.com/

DU, imo, is not the place to send your average Joe looking for info. It's too complicated for an average net user and there's just too much info and too much going on, too much "insider" stuff.

These overview sites are better suited for mass mailings. nov2truth.org is also a good one.

17. see....this is the problem with bulk and mass emails....

we get so much crap fwded to our inboxes, that we tend to ignore EVERYTHING.... especially if it's clearly a bulk mailing.

What I've been doing with some of my things is:

Put all the addies in an email
Send it to myself
from their I can click each individual address and send the email to that person individually. I usually include some sort of personal note designed to get their attention and keep them from just deleting the mail--

yeah, it takes longer (lots longer), but with a little persistence, and over the course of a few hours or a few days, you can get through a list like this...

I've also been doing more and more with hardcopy and s-mail. It's like email has almost become redundant and we're back to the days when a letter with a stamp on it *may be more effective.

Still, I can't stress enough that this is an AWESOME list of addies and I will be using it! Thanks.

18. In the case of my freep dad...

I'm happy just to spam him. He's not the intended audience for the e-mail, and I'll eat my hat if he actually reads it, but he deserves an inbox full of truth-spam in response to his idiotic forwards. (And I'll be sending it to him personally, FWIW.)

I think it's valuable no matter how people address it, as long as the information is clear and organized, which this is. (And personally, I'll read bulk mail if it appears to be something I want to know about.)

But more power to you for taking the extra time and effort. :)

9. This really is easy and fun.

Edited on Tue Dec-07-04 09:47 PM by Carl Brennan

All you do is make two files with the message in one and the e-mail addresses in the other. Compose an e-mail. Cut and paste some names in the Ccc and Bcc boxes, then do the same for the message and viola; your e-mail is ready to send.

If you save a draft of your e-mail you can retrieve highlight the Bcc box addresses just sent and then cut and paste another batch. You can return again and again to the draft copy and simply add new addresses and re-send. In a half hour you could send to hundreds of e-mail addresses.

We could do this with any mass mailing. :bounce:

21. My letter to our local TV station in San Diego

I am astounded that your station would interrupt regular programming to show the president's helicopter taking off from Pendleton--yet you have refused to show any of the vitally important vote fraud hearings in Congress that C-Span aired today. The evidence of fraud and other illegal tactics to steal a presidential election is now overwhelming. There are lawsuits and Congressional hearings that Americans need to know about.

You ought to be giving gavel-to-gavel coverage of this, as was done during the Watergate hearings. Why aren't you? It can't be for lack of evidence. No, the only reason is that the corporate owners of your network are beholden to keeping the Bush administration in power--just like the crooked Republican companies that own our voting machines.

No wonder that most young voters today are getting all their news off the internet and comedy shows, because your station isn't bothering to show the most important news story of our generation. Please wake up and start giving serious air time to this story, or you're going to lose half or more of your news audience.

33. Free Bulk Email Sender

I have been using this free program to send out bulk emails to the media:
http://www.fairlogic.com/worldcast/index.shtml

The program is free for personal use. It takes me about 2 hours to send to the 2200 individual media addresses.

I have the email lists at the beginning of this thread in a format that this program can read. If you need them let me know.

61. FOCUS: What will you be doing on 06012005? What will your...

...represenatives in the 109th Congress be doing on 06012005.

Don't ask. Tell them. They work for you. Time we remind everyone, ourselves and them, that that's the drill.

Here's a suggested missive you each may want to cut/paste/email (and, for your Congressional reps I suggest you fax it to their locat State office in addition to emailing it to them):

Dear _______,

Having reflected, all day, on the exceptional dKos Diary "Folks Don't Get It" by shanikka, my resolve to see the 'national election of 2004' halted on 6 Jan 2005 transformed to "do or die."

You should read what she had to say and what it elicited from others:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/12/15/9734/4841

I have sent the following message to several colleagues and want to share it with you so you can know what to expect and why we are corresponding with you now.

We are requesting that millions of our fellow citizens be in DC on 6 Jan 2005.

We will join, together on that day, with you and all responsible members of the HR and the Senate and together we will halt the fraudulent national election of 2004.

We will halt demonstrate, together, in the largest ever display of unity in support of our Constitution.

We will conclusively assert that "we the people" will not tolerate anything but a HALT to the farce, the brutal, systematic attack on our fellow citizens in their effort to "form a more perfect union" -- to vote and know their vote was recorded as they intended.

Together, we will forge a remedy to the situation that provides to each of our fellow citizens who are eligible to vote an equitable access to do just that -- vote. We will ensure that each voter has a mechanism to ensure that their vote is counted exactly as they intend it to be.

We will save our American franchise of democracy.

We will then vote, together, for the 44th President and Vice President of the USA and we will all know, beyond reasonable doubt, that whomever receives the most votes is the elected representative of our Nation.

We will bring joy and hope to all of humanity because of our actions between now and 6 Jan 2005, and every day thereafter.

We will never forget the peril to our Constitution, our freedom that we confronted together and resolved -- we will have lived and sacrificed in the honor of all whose ideals and sacrifices have graced each of us and for whom we now must prove our gratitude.

We will prevail.
+++++++++++++++++++

Thank you; and, in_deed we will prevail.

"I'm a patriotic American, not a pro-fraud theocrat"
