Ideas For Change - Sarah Hart's Thoughts

I am switching gears and starting to reach out more to media. You might want to join me in this effort. You can get the phone numbers for newspapers and TV stations at www.usnpl.com - I started in Wasington State on Monday. A lot of times they are busy. So, I get their email addresses and send them a press release. On Monday, I sent 20 out. Every little bit helps.

I'm campaigning for Sponheim, and bringing people to AE, which will help America's Third Party and Americans Elect organizations become more viable. I am going to focus on TV stations and push the May 8th Online Caucus that all Americans can participate in.

Even if we have some overlap in our efforts, it's not bad. As a teacher, I was told studrnts have to hear a concept aboutt 5 times before they get it.

Here's what you can say when you call, "I have a great news story for you." At this point, they will usually transfer you to the newsroom where you have to make a pitch. Here's what I said, "I have a great news story. Washington State resident, David Jon Sponheim is running for President of the United States. He is working to get on the ballot in all 50 states through an organization called Americans Elect, which will be holding an Online Primary on May 8th to choose their Candidate. Any US citizen can participate."

For non- Washington State I'll say, "On May 8th, Americans Elect will be holding an Online Primary to choose their Presidenttial Candidate. All Americans can participate in this process. I personally support David Jon Sponheim from America's Third Party."

If they want more information, offer to send tham a press release. Get their email address and send it to me and I will send them a Press Release.
