<p>A Johnson campaign team member sends around two lists every day
of Johnson-Weld coverage. The campaign is getting very impressive
amounts of daily media coverage daily. <br>
</p>
<p>On the other hand, I receive a fairly steady stream of comments
from people saying things along the lines of "Where is Gary
Johnson and the Libertarian Party? Whey aren't you guys doing
anything? Why isn't he in the news?"</p>
<p>I've conveniently been able to forward lists like the ones below
to individual critics to show how much is being done.<br>
</p>
I'd like to post some lists like this on our blog, and occasionally
send emails linking to the lists on the blogs. I think such emails
would motivate our activists substantially. The daily lists motivate
me, even though I don't agree with every phrase in every story.<br>
<br>
Because usually some of the stories have statements that don't
strictly comply with our platform, the Advertising, Publications and
Review Committee will prohibit me from publishing such lists. <br>
<br>
If there is a volunteer wiling to go through some of these lists
from time to time and return a list with any potential violations
flagged, I could then send the modified list to the APRC to see if
they would accept the remaining stories on the lists. I simply do
not personally have the time to read all of these stories carefully
and definitely do not have time to discuss or debate whether certain
details comply with the platform.<br>
<br>
If you are willing to help with this, please let me know. <br>
<br>
Then start by reviewing the list below and telling me which ones
should be prohibited from being in a list on our blog. If possible,
please give me an estimate of how long that takes you as well.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
