Help us Catapult our parody "Going Rouge: Palin Rogue Coloring Book" past Palin Media onslaught!

[symbolman]

To all my DU pals.. don't know if you know it, but two du'rs Symbolman & Demobabe (husband and wife team) who are longtime activists as many know here) have created "Going Rouge: The Sarah Palin Rogue Coloring & Activity Book" which we are offering as an alternative to Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue"..

The Media are ramping up to SLAM her book into our collective faces for the next week, starting today, so PLEASE help US by pushing our Media links to everyone you know - it's a fine book, a LOT of Fun, and Skins Sarah Palin with merciless humor, like she'd skin a rogue moose! We just closed on a distributor in NYC and our books will be ALL OVER New York within DAYS! Two more distributors are in talks, so we just may be going NATIONAL with this in bookstores soon.. cases are being readied to hit the bookshelves in Juneau & Fairbanks, Alaska as we speak. It's time to show the REAL Sarah Palin to the public, warts and ALL..

Tell everyone you know please, we need to Take Back The Media on this one!

Appreciate any help you can be! Thanks! :)





Here's a collection of our presence in the media, there's more, but some Good stuff here to take a look at:

1. Appreciate the Recs!

You can tell us what you think too, y'know! :)

We're all ears!

[MineralMan]

2. I heard that Mattel is bringing out a series of Sarah Palin

dolls. The first one is "Trailer Park Sarah," which comes complete with a double-wide (with skirting), and a Chevy on simulated concrete blocks.

[symbolman]

4. lol

no CRACK? :)

[Bozita]

3. It'd be nice if you could hand deliver some books to a B&N in Grand Rapids.

[symbolman]

5. We may do better than that..

Barnes & Nobles has our sales rank there (we're on Amazon.com too!) at #1,452 right now, which is AWESOME!

Also, their buy has requested a book for consideration to stock their STORES with our book, one is winging it's way there as we speak.. keep those fingers crossed, you might all see this on a shelf in your town :)

We're working the media, and at the same time, spending days and nights in a hospice where my wife's father is due to pass away within a few days after battling lung cancer for 6 months that moved to his brain. The best of times, the worst of times, all at the same time... sigh..

[tavalon]

31. I'm so sorry about your wife's dad

and happy for the possible success of Going Rouge. I do believe I might feel like colorin' some, also.

[symbolman]

6. Ahh!

I didn't see the plug there on that link! Wonderful, appreciated much! We're thinking of getting out there and doing a tour ourselves once the Father in Law deal settles out, and going to stores NEAR where Palin is and having book signings there :)

OR we could tour the "FAKE" American that Palin is missing, like NYC, California, DC.. you know, the non flyover states..

thanks so much!

[OneGrassRoot]

12. Excellent approach...the "fake" America as Palin inadvertently...

dubbed those states.

Best of wishes to you, about both the family crisis, as well as the exciting new path this book is taking you on!

:)

[demobabe]

13. Yes, we want to tour our parody book in Fake America!

Seems fitting, doesn't it? :)

[tavalon]

32. I'm really slow

I knew about Symbolman's work and I had seen you around here, but two and two didn't come together for me. I'm really sorry about your dad. I do hope his passing is gentle and at the right time. May you and your family have peace in his passing. Not easy but I hope it for you.

You guys should rightfully be very proud of your book. At least you guys actually wrote it yourselves (no ghosting, right?)

[demobabe]

9. Any DUers going to that signing?

DM me if you are - I want to try to make sure DUers get their books in time for it.

[KittyWampus]

7. Congratulations. Hope you two have "won the jackpot". It could sell big. Just in time for Xmas.

:)

[symbolman]

8. Thanks!

We hope so too.. we'd love to see folks here that view this page to TWEET or copy the media links and SEND them to any media links they can think of.. if you work for KO or MADDOW, then INVITE US, we're not too hard on the eyes and I've done both Scarborough and O'Reilly.. love to go on THOSE shows again too :)

much appreciated!

[Arkansas Granny]

10. I saw this on Amazon yesterday. I know a few people who

are going to get a copy in their stocking for Xmas.

[demobabe]

11. We're signing them for DUers if you want them personalized

Just DM me with your Paypal address if you buy it off our http://www.goingrouge.net site.

[demobabe]

14. kick

:kick:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

15. That looks hilarious!

Reminds me of the "Where's Dan Quayle?" parody of "Where's Waldo?" back in the 1990s.

[SoCalDem]

16. Did they misspell Michael on the cover? or do you spell it that way?

:shrug:

[symbolman]

23. Nope, that's how it's spelled

I get that a lot.. it's the old Irish spelling of Micheal.. I used to say my mom was on drugs when I was born, ALL women were on drugs then while birthing, think that caused the 60's later.. :)

[SoCalDem]

30. Did you send a copy to Keith O & the gang at MSNBC?

I can imagine them having a LOT of fun with it, and mentioning it on air also..

I so hope you guys make a TON on this ..you two deserve a break:)

[symbolman]

35. KO email keeps bouncing

sent off emails to ED, Maddow, Scarborough, etc :)

It'll trickle through.. did an interview with AP the other day, waiting for that to kick in..

a Break would be nice for a change, you betcha!

[Bozita]

17. early evening kick? ... You betcha!

[Generic Other]

18. I saw it on msnbc and cnn and started screaming!!!!

They are talking about you. You guys rock!!!! The more publicity--good or bad--the better. I say make some cheap easy money hanging off the moosekilling bitch's coat tails (paid for by the RNC). That is what America is all about!!

You are the Joe the Plumbers of the left and this is your fifteen minutes of fame!! CONGRATS! Couldn't happen to more deserving folks. Aren't you just loving it??

:toast:

[symbolman]

19. WHEN and what programs?

BOTH CNN and MSNBC? I know that Schuster ran it the other day, some folks said he showed it for about a full minute and lauded it, was laughing, didn't get to see it.. was it on Wolfie's show, or Olbermann, or Maddow? Ed?

Where, WHEN? TODAY.. past midnight here..

Enquiring minds want to know! :)

and THANKS!

[BeHereNow]

20. TOO COOL!!! I want one!!!

Excellent work, as usual Symbolman.

Congratulations on yet another success!

BHN:hi: :thumbsup: :hug:

[symbolman]

22. thanks!

good to see the old DU guard is hard at keeping america on the right path :)

You didn't see it on CNN or MSNBC did you?

[BeHereNow]

24. No, I did not- CAN'T watch network anymore- I go mad.

I'll bet somebody on DU caught it though.
Keep this thread kicked!

Maybe DU can offer it as part of a fund drive gift???

That would be cool.

Hugs,
BHN

[symbolman]

27. We'd LOVE to help out the DU that way

have to contact them I guess.. Buzzflash is offering them as a Premium as well, we're helping there where we can, offering to help out progressive websites..

Maybe we should give the Admins a holler :)

[Bozita]

37. Sounds like a smart move to me. ... You betcha!

[BeHereNow]

21. Recommended!!!!

bhn

[merh]

25. i will have to get me one of these

will you autograph it?

:hi:

:hug:

[symbolman]

26. oh GUARANTEED

not a problem! for you the known universe.. sorry I dropped off the last few months, been dealing with wife's father's cancer (lung to brain) for nearly 6 months now.. just been out of the loop, along with a 4 year old and moving again, hope things are looking up for all of us.

SURE, we'll autograph it for ya, you betcha! :)

[merh]

28. cool - I love autograph works by DUers

and I love all you do, so this will be a treat.

Sorry about your FIL, that is a very difficult thing to witness, you feel so helpless. Hugs for you both. :hug:

:grouphug:

[Nikki Stone1]

29. Shameless whoring. Unrec.

:thumbsdown:

[KittyWampus]

33. this is one instance where it's hard to hold it against two DU'ers who've been here a while

[symbolman]

34. Shameless whoring

just like Thomas Nast who took down Boss Tweed politically with CARTOONS that every person could read and understand..

[Swamp Rat]

36. You ROCK symbolman!!!
