We have alot of smart, intelligent people on this board.
I propose we consider doing the following.
We develop our own media relations pack, what our people will say to the media. This will require alot of input, but the end result is we can develop packages so that our package doesn't create ONE DIMENSIONAL SPEAKERS.
We then have Calguns regional meetups and workshops to see who we have in different parts of the state and see if we can find people who are willing to be spokespersons in the first place.
Then we need to have vett out our speakers. Basically we find those of us who are masochists and a group of us plays evil reporters and hammers them with all sorts of questions.
We video tape the things and do playback. Hell, have some beers and make it fun. We should get alot of laughs out of this, while at the same time, it would be very contructive for our speakers.
Once this is done, then what we should consider is holding shoots for the press, in short, we invite members of the local press for say a shoot and barbeque.
What we ask them is for is a day of a truce, just to have fun. What this does is allows them to see us as humans and what we do is we treat them as humans:rolleyes:
After the event, we give them contact info if they have gun related stories, in other words, they have a accessible local source from our side for their stories.
Police corruption is always newsworthy, do you think any of us on this board would have insight into such activities:TFH:
The first amendment and the second amendment are inter related. As more reporters see that, we will start getting more balanced stories on guns.
Reporters don't trust the government already, we already have seeds planted to flip them to our side already, but it will require work to flip them.
Saul used to persecute Christians to he was blinded by the light, after that, he became Paul, and the rest is history.
Many of our strongest gun rights activists used to be victim disarmanent supporters. Every member of the press we turn our way is probably worth 10,000 or more votes.
Even if we can't change the policy of a paper or TV station, we can divert attention away from us.
When we get good, we may be able to even create news in some parts of the state
Many reporters see themselves as "DO GOODERS". That is something we can use to our advantage if we develop "our people".
Like many of you, I am constantly frustrated when I watch the news and all I see is people like us are responsible for all the problems in the country.
I yell at the TV, hey, it's the stupid drug war when they talk about Mexico.
When they talk about people wigging out, I say, hey, it is government policies that have robbed Americans of their hope and dreams.
