Talk Show call-in volunteers needed to stop Alito Apply here
Edited on Tue Jan-17-06 10:37 AM by John Q. Citizen
We need people calling up talk radio, especially talk radio like Allen Combs, or Ed Schultz, or many others who have a nationwide audience and liberal callers can get on the air easily.

I don't particularly love Comb's show, but I listen sometimes, and I haven't heard any callers dissing Alito, suggesting he's a corporatist who will work for the multi-nationals and screw the people while deep-sixing our civil rights.

I haven't heard any callers begging or demanding the Democrats filibuster Alito.

People spend a lot of time wishing we could get on Fox or CNN, but nationwide radio has many more listeners than do Fox TV or CNN, which require cable and then actually turning it on to that channel.

We spend a lot of time e-mailing CNN or CBS but here we have a direct link to millions of listeners and we should have 10 or 12 callers on every show every day until a week from Friday, when the floor vote takes place.

We need some callers from around the country saying they oppose Alito, that the Democrats need to filibuster. And we need callers dissing Alito, raising questions and bashing Alito.

Ed Schultz is on over 100 stations every day and Armed Forces Radio.

Alan Combs radio show 1-877-367-2526 10PM - 1AM (EST) Mon - Fri
Ed Schultz radio show 3PM to 6PM (Eastern Standard Time) 1-877-934-6833. Monday-Friday


We should also be calling the usual suspects (Randi Rhodes and other Air Amer. call in shows and encouraging listeners to call/e-mail their Demo Senators and ask them to filibuster.

Anybody who has other National Radio Shows or Major Market Shows who will put liberal callers on air please let me know the show’s Live Times and call in Phone # and I'll get a list together.

The key is to call right at the beginning of the show or very early on so you can get on the air.

Turn off your radio and listen on the phone. Be prepared to wait to get on. And try to have an idea of what you are going to say. Keep it short and simple.

If you are interested in a volunteer position in this endeavor, please reply here or IM me. Thanks.
