Hi everyone. I sent this out on the mediatalk listserv and wanted to forward
it to all of you as well. Mark and I talked briefly about this this
afternoon. After I compile a good list of issues, I'd like to get all of
your input on what is most important and what you think we should include
(plus a consensus on the best action to encourage people to take). But
please also drop me a line with your suggestions now for what the key
advocacy issues are.
My goal is to come up with at least 5 good issues and to run one each day
the week before July 26. If we come up with more, I can always start it
earlier.
Thanks for your help!
