Friendly nudges

This morning, I woke up, reached for my computer, and looked for mention of Ron Paul's slam dunk victory at the CNHT straw poll yesterday. Unionleader.com, Concordmonitor.com, WMUR.com... Oddly, there was nothing. Perhaps a little letter-writing campaign is in order.

NH folks: Please take a moment and throw together a little letter to the editor for the Leader, the Monitor, or your local paper. (In my experience, a lot of these folks are perfectly friendly towards Ron Paul, so please keep your notes fairly pleasant.) Key information might include the following facts:
  • that this was the first NH straw poll for 2008;
  • that Ron Paul won it with 182 votes (65%); and
  • that the one-ticket-one-vote rule was strictly enforced.

    Union Leader: letters@unionleader.com
    200 words or less; include your name, address, and daytime phone.

    Concord Monitor: letters@cmonitor.com

    For folks outside of New Hampshire, I'd encourage you to write to your own papers; a blow-out win in the first NH straw poll should be big news just about anywhere. And with Dr. Paul officially leading John McCain in the cash department, his ascendancy should be getting press left and right. So let your local press know that they're missing a big deal.

    FYI, the press release went out late Sat night, so it may not have made it for the papers on Sunday. Can't hurt to ping the papers, but don't accuse them of not printing it, since they may not have had time yet.

    Supposedly it has been on WMUR three times, with good coverage - I haven't seen it myself. Hasn't made it to the web page though, hopefully it will soon.

    Yes according to Ed Naile it was on WMUR three times and the reporter told me also...

    But the press release has yet to hit the newspapers.
