We need to reach higher and higher with PPA publicity.  We just voted up our cause and received time on Fox News with Judge Napolitano. 

How hard would it be to get time on the O'Reilly factor.  Sure he's a controversial guy, and many in our community disagree with the word he says and the oxygen that he breathes, but I think that he'd side with us.


Also -- why not reach out to the Daily Show?  The Colbert Report?  I could see all 3 of these shows not only giving the PPA a timeslot, but side with poker players and Americans who don't want to see this treatment escalate into something greater.


Thoughts?

Also he has a radio show which I'll try and call into tomorrow to see if we have a chance of getting support from him.

Also:  Keith Olbermann?

While any publicity is good, I think that the conservative talk show hosts would be our best hope and help. The problem with starting out with more liberal shows is that the conservatives may take an opposing view, just on principle, just as antogonists.

Our stance is in line with traditional conservative views. We just need to find a way to combat the Christian Right without alienating Christianity and the rest of the conservatives, and that is best done by finding a libertarian leaning conservative to take up our cause.

Done this way, I can see no way for liberal leaning hosts to find a counter arguement.

I agree getting more publicity to establish a public majority opposition to the feds seizure would be a good thing, I think it could also backfire. O'Reilly would probably be on our side, maybe even that nut Limbaugh. Establishing support from the right would be most important, because their fans and supporters tend to follow with the crowd. Also, we don't want the right to oppose it because the left supports it. But on that note... Stewart is my Oprah!

Fox has been covering us on a few shows recently.  Hopefully as we gain more steam we'll get on more shows.
