EYE ON THE ENEMY: PFAW email - "New Technology: They Won't Expect This!"

PFAW Activist Network ^ | 5/12/5 | People for the American Way

[Ed_in_NJ]

" Dear Activist,

We’re down to the wire—and we’re going to need IMMEDIATE response to stop Senator Frist when he attempts to trigger the “nuclear option” to shut down debate about judicial nominees. So, we’re trying something new and groundbreaking—and we need you to be part of it.

It’s called Mass Immediate Response (MIR) and it allows thousands of people to contact the Senate and make their voices heard all at the same time.

Here’s how it works: As soon as Senate Republicans trigger the “nuclear option,” we’ll send a text message to your cell phone. Embedded in that text message is a link to a Senate phone number based on your state. With the push of a couple buttons, your call – along with thousands of others – goes right through to the corridors of power demanding preservation of the filibuster. (Very simple instructions about how this will work on your phone model will be made available when you sign up.)

Join our massive immediate response!

This is a brand new technology, and this is the first time it is being used for activism on a large scale. (Don’t worry: we will NEVER send your cell phone spam or disclose your number to anyone else – and if we use MIR in the future, you will have to opt-in again on that specific campaign in order to receive messages.)

Picture it: by pushing the button, tens of thousands of American patriots are making their voices heard in Washington at exactly the same time, flooding the Senate with simultaneous calls to save the filibuster.

Maybe now "they" WILL expect this (?)

Any creative ideas as to how to turn this against PFAW?

[NormsRevenge]

Picture it: by pushing the button, tens of thousands of unAmerican patriots pissants are making their voices screeches heard in Washington at exactly the same time, flooding the Senate with simultaneous calls to save the filibuster.

DUhhh!

[BigFinn]

Alert your senators and congressmen that this is in the planning stages and to expect it. Then it won't be a 'surprise'. Isn't this telephone spamming?

[NonValueAdded]

Kewl, they'll swamp the phone system so no calls will get through and the Senators will hear chirping crickets.

Somehow I knew pissant would get blamed for this.

/humor :o)

[handy old one]

Maybe this will turn out like the million man march... all 12

[Ed_in_NJ]

I believe so -- could also be classified as a Distributed Denial of Service attack, since it could overwhelm the Senate phone system and prevent its normal function.

"e. (Don’t worry: we will NEVER send your cell phone spam or disclose your number to anyone else – and if we use MIR in the future, you will have to opt-in again on that specific campaign in order to receive messages.)"

If anyone buys this, send me an offer on some swampland in Arizona.

[Billthedrill]

Dang. They've invented the phone tree. Whaddya know...

Hey buddy! Get over here and defend yourself! And help us figure out how to make the PFAW project just a huge buzzing sound....nevermind, they already ARE.... ;^)

[Dashing Dasher]

I blame Pissant for everything...

The other day I found an ant in my kitchen - I just knew it was Pissant's fault!



Maybe he's responsible for making poor Andy Stephenson sick...

Blurb,

Is there any way to get a bunch of wrong numbers added to their database? just a thought...

" (Don’t worry: we will NEVER send your cell phone spam or disclose your number to anyone else – and if we use MIR in the future, you will have to opt-in again on that specific campaign in order to receive messages.) "

I would certainly let the vendors of porn and all sorts of political scams out there KNOW that this list is for sale. We all know how the dems are with the truth. Do YOU really believe the Schumer or Reid wouldn't sell the list to "Cheerleaders Gone Wild" if they really, really "needed" the money? Do YOU really believe that the crapweasels who sign up don't know that their numbers will be distributed? No, you'd be doing everybody a favor by posting this guy's number and contact where ever you can, no explanation necessary, and where those who might sign up would see it. Don't worry, the list will be for sale soon enough.

[B Knotts]

Sign up for it, and then when they contact you, call in support of the GOP.

[Bogey78O]

'Any creative ideas as to how to turn this against PFAW?'

Submit thousands of bogus numbers.

[bigfootbob]

Dear Sirs Dakota,

I be the son of late Emperor Haile Selassie and me need's your help....

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Get over here and brainstorm. - ping!

[pissant]

I wear liberal insults as a badge of honor. Like water on a duck's butt!

[Pessimist]

"Where do these people get off...???"

I think mainly in mens rest rooms in public parks. At least that's the way it is on TV...
