Spreading the Word Part II

Spreading the Word Part II

9-24-11

It certainly helps to get onto all of your social media and click a little like button or a share button. Those little buttons are so handy now a days. It only takes a second or two to pass on information to all of your friends and family. Whether they read it or not is up to them, just like whether or not you have read something is left up to you. However, by clicking that button, you have made it available to them, and have done your part.
Perhaps you feel as if you need to do more. I know that I do. One of the things that I am doing to help spread the word and push the message through is to call the major media outlets and ask them when they are planning on covering the protests. Occupywallstreet.org on facebook has put together a good list of contacts to start with.

So, if you feel the need to do something pro-active and can’t make it out to one of the protests near you, or aren’t in the area of one of the protests, then make a phone call. Write an email. Also, don’t forget to hit twitter and drop the @(insert media person/show here) a line. Demand coverage of these protests.
The American public has a right to know what is happening. They have a right to hear the views of the protesters. They have a right to make up their own mind, even if they want to filter it through FOX news.
