posted by ihavenobias
Because of the short notice I know a lot of you can't make it to any of the 3 TYT/CNN Demonstrations Thursday 11/5/09 at 12pm EST(ATL/NY)/12pm PST(L.A. with Cenk and the rest of TYT)). But that doesn't mean you can't participate. Here are 3 things you can do to help TYT fight for a strong public option and accurate reporting on it:
1. Email. Send an email to feedback@cnn.com at 12 Noon Eastern/9am PST with a concise message: We want the public option! Look at the polls! Tell your audience what the American people want.
2. Tweet. Send a tweet to @cnnbrk at 12 Noon Eastern/9am PST on Thursday 11/5/09 saying:
@cnnbrk We want the public option! Look at the polls! Tell your audience what the American people want. #cnnprotest
You can also send a Tweet to Rick Sanchez at 12 Noon Pacific/3pm EST on Thursday 11/5/09 saying:
@ricksanchezcnn We want the public option! Look at the polls! Tell your audience what the American people want. #cnnprotest
3. Call. Say something like "We want the public option! Look at the polls! Tell your audience what the American people want."
CNN NY- (212) 275-7800 (@12pm EST/9am PST)
CNN ATL- (404) 827-2600 (@12pm EST/9am PST)
CNN LA- (323) 993-5000 (@12pm PST/3pm EST)
NOTE: If your schedule doesn't allow you to call/email/tweet exactly at 12pm EST or 12pm PST, that's fine. Just do it as close to those times as possible.
PS---Remember to be polite, respectful and brief in all of your interactions. If you have any questions (like how to use Twitter) or suggestions, please post them here. And feel free to post/send a link to this blog out.
Update: We need someone to record some footage of the events in NYC and Atlanta tomorrow. Also, we need a coordinator for ATL, i.e. someone that can organize the people that gather, speak to the press, call in to TYT to report, etc. Please email me at TYTJobs@gmail.com ASAP if interested.
