One necessary, almost the MOST necessary, part of getting our information to the public is getting to the media. Yesterday and today, I worked to find somebody to be interviewed in a Sacramento station regarding an animal bill that is on Gov. Brown's desk. The producer of the segment was eager to have "our" side told, and he was thrilled when I sent him a page of the opposition talking points. The problem was that out of hundreds of readers of all the "posts" that I sent out (and I know personally many on those lists), it was down to crunch time before we got replies that they were willing to be interviewed. (I DID find somebody, thank goodness!) SO! If there are people ANYPLACE who are ready and willing to be interviewed on various subjects of their choosing, I would love to have that list. For MY list, I would like those who are willing to educate themselves on bills, or at least get back to me so we can talk about the various bills in their state (that's a HEAVY load, by the way... more some other time). ONce the interview gets going, it's simple to drop in other words on other subjects, carefully. And it's kind of fun once you relax and just talk to the guy or gal. So???? I'll keep the list going and update. Today was VERY frustrating, so I have a list started for California already. The good part of spending my time on the phone and computer getting this started today, is that I have the segment producer thankful and ready to listen to another bill that I want out there and if I have to, I'll fly up to Sacramento for THAT one. It's coming out on Capwiz tomorrow morning, so you all will get a link to it. We have to move AHEAD of these people and stop trailing behind them.
