AB!, I'm with you 100% on this approach.  We have got an audience here that has spread beyond our own family of FReepers, but within that family we have some of the most talented people I've ever run across.  I think the Jedi Council needs to start taking the capabilities we've developed here and directing it towards the purpose you suggest.

Here's the DBM contact list I did some time ago.  I'm sure there are others.  I'm going to post mine now in the interests of time (I don't want to let anyone else beat me to it... but that's a type of competitiveness we should encourage) but I will be going back and reverifying each email address and web page.  If I find any of them are out of date I'll update them.

I volunteer to keep this list up to date and post it on the Sunday thread each week.  I'll also make sure that the contact links for the individual shows are up to date on my preview thread in case we get in the habit of contacting them preemptively about some subject.

Any shows or individuals I've missed please freepmail me or, better yet, post them on the thread and ping me to get it included in the list. 

May I also suggest that we get in the habit of pulling and posting the transcripts from the shows that make them available?  I don't know if posting them in the Sunday thread or setting up a thread for each one on its own with a link from here is better.  When I posted that transcript of J F'n sKerry from FNS a few weeks ago it was a very long post (I included my comments in the transcript) and I'm not sure that was the most effective way to present it.  I'm leaning towards the separate threads notion.  That lends itself to posting the straight transcript then separate comments and should make it easier for everyone to participate rather than making it appear to be a one man show.  I also think we might ask for volunteers each week to take on one show each, maybe on a rotating basis, kind of like we do with the awards.  That way it's not a big deal for any individual and we get broader perspectives.

I'm open to whatever, but I agree that we need to take this on and do as many things as we can think of, check to see what works and keep doing that and try other things in place of those that don't work.

May I also suggest some thought into a counter dem revolution by collecting dem quotes and a list of republican officials for rebuttal. Or better, doing that in reverse.

Needs more thought, but let's consider some research and development of our own media, enlarge our tent, AND pound the MSM tent.

Thank you, FRiend!!! That will be most helpful. Perhaps we could divide into teams--certain folks do MTP, another group do FNS, etc. Separate transcript threads would be very good. I could link them from here.
