GOP.com has a Lemming List of radio talk shows, talking points and hot tips for calling radio shows
I just ran across this, and mercy, do these people not have an original thought in their head? They needs lists of talking points with which to converse with Sean? LMAO!!! "Tell us about your involvement in grassroots activities to support President Bush today! - - yeah, let us know how THAT'S going, losers!

=====

http://www.gop.com/GetActive/CallTalkRadio.aspx

Check the boxes of talk radio shows that you called and press 'Submit' button to tell us about your involvement in grassroots activities to support President Bush today!

Tips for Calling Talk Radio

* Call Early: Call early in the show so you can be sure to be included in the program.

* Keep Calling: If the call-in line is busy, just keep redialing the number. You will get through, especially on a local program.

* Plan What You Are Going to Say: Print or write out your talking points to help you plan what you are going to say before you are on the air.

* Know the Single Point You Want to Make: When you get through, be prepared to give the call screener a quick one-sentence summary of what you will say. The more clear and to-the-point you are, the better your chances of getting on air.

* Be Clear and Concise: When you get on the air, sound upbeat and excited to be on the program. Get to your point quickly. If you are referring to something another person has said, be sure to quickly summarize it for listeners who may not have heard it.



TALKING POINTS:
Jobs & Economy

* Pass legislation that promotes economic growth - including making tax cuts permanent.
* Strengthen Social Security.
* Strengthen high schools to prepare Americans for jobs in the 21st Century.



Strength & Security

* Support increased base pay for service members and health care benefits for veterans.
* Stand with President Bush on increased defense spending that better prepares and protects our military.
* Show support for the President’s improvements in Homeland Security to defend our country.

Tax Reform

* Reform the tax code to ensure a simpler, fairer and more pro-growth system.
* Restrain spending by the Federal Government.
* Make tax cuts permanent for individuals and small businesses.

Education

* Support a new high school initiative to help states hold high schools accountable for teaching all students.
* Promote accelerated mathematics and science achievement for all secondary students, and especially low-achieving students.
* Accelerate student achievement with Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and State Scholars.

Social Security

* Fix Social Security now to avoid dramatically higher taxes, massive new borrowing or sudden and severe cuts in Social Security benefits or other government programs.
* Reform Social Security for America’s younger workers - our children and grandchildren.
* Remind your elected officials that Social Security cannot afford to continue paying benefits with the current pay-as-you-go system.

Nominations

* Appoint judges who strictly interpret the law.
* Oppose the unprecedented use of Senate filibusters.
* Fix the broken nomination process.

Immigration Reform

* Stand with President Bush in his efforts to protect the homeland by controlling the borders.
* Protect the rights of legal immigrants and match willing workers with willing employers.
* Support incentives for temporary workers to return to their home countries and families.

Faith & Values

* Fight to ensure that faith-based and community charities can participate in Federal, state, and local programs.
* Support President Bush's Access to Recovery program, a proposed three-year, $600 million drug treatment voucher initiative, will give recovering addicts expanded access to a full range of faith-based and community providers.
* Support legislation providing mentoring for children of prisoners.

1. Every time I read about a new BushCo program, I wonder
what angle they're working. "Access to Recovery"? What is that code for? They've found yet another vulnerable group of people to manipulate, fund their fake Christian money laundering operations and look like they're doing something for the community. Is that what this is?

I really hate these people.

6. I hate to say this, but they at least have talking points......
not that the dem's don't but, their points are united, and of one voice. Sometimes dem callers sounds so scattered, and disjointed and not sure of how to say what they mean. I'm just saying......I don't think talking points for the stupid are bad at all. JMHO

4. And This Is New? The Top Part Is Well Worth DU'ers Taking Note
The GOOP daily blast fax was well-known around the beltway. Hell, I've documented...as well as others...countless times over the years (more in the past than recently) where a story is manufactured in some obscure publication or website or planted by a Judy Miller and by the next day its the lead topic on C-SPAN and Hate Radio...where those talking points were hammered to snot...so that by the evening news and cable shows, it had become a major story.

The top section is worth noting for how one should approach at talk show. Definitely be persistant and organized...the more organized the better...and never let the bastards hear you "sweat" or get mad. If anything, pull their chains and get them pissed...they'll surely talk about your call and your points for the next couple hours. It's also fun to catch one of these self-avowed "experts" in total silence...drooling on the floor.
