Very cool, guys--I mean girls. Remember at every event try to get as much contact information as you can (e-mail, phone numbers, etc.) so you have a list for future events.
Kathy Slattery Comment by Kathy Slattery on February 25, 2009 at 11:38am
Simply maaaaaarveloussss!! Thanks for planning all these events! It's time to stand up and shout to Washington -- last night's speech was a perfect example. I won't sit down and be quiet and let this administration and his minions in the House and Senate take away our capitalistic system. Spread the word, as Howard Beale said in the movie Network in 1976, "I'm mad as hell and not going to take it anymore!" I have always liked Rick Santelli--now I love the guy! Thank you for speaking up!

Re: media attention, does anyone have connections at Fox News or Rush Limbaugh etc? I am a Rush 24/7 subscriber and have a special email but don't think his staff reads all of the emails. I would think someone like Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity would be interested in this. Main stream media, doubtful. Look what they're doing to poor Rick Santellia, saying he doesn't know what he's talking about (Press Secy Gibbs last week!) Isn't there a tea party going on in Philly? Maybe it's only through the New Tea Party website I found you on yesterday. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Don't forget to write your representatives etc. Let them know we don't want to be a socialist society. That's where we're headed folks!
Stacy Mott (SGP) Comment by Stacy Mott (SGP) on February 26, 2009 at 8:54am
Hi Kathy. I know that the event has made it to some of the local Fox affiliates and a few radio shows, but I haven't gotten an update yet on any other media outlets. I know that Michelle Malkin and Pajamas TV are covering a lot of the events.

If you are a Rush subscriber, it can't hurt to send an email detailing the events. Stacy

Oh I will be in Sac! Hopefully taping it too! YAY!!
Kathy Slattery Comment by Kathy Slattery on February 26, 2009 at 1:44pm
I've written Rush on the 24/7 website so I'm hoping someone reads it. I put a big VIP on the message. Let's see.
Stacy Mott (SGP) Comment by Stacy Mott (SGP) on February 26, 2009 at 1:51pm
Thank you Kathy. Every effort helps. :)
