They would be willing to come out and cover a group of local people that organized themselves and met and talked strategy and such. That's a good local-interest story that drives more ambitious coverage of the candidate's campaign as well. jewells, I know a couple local newspaper reporters.

I will bet you are right that there have been very very few, if any, meetings of this type on the conservative side. It takes someone like, well.. me and you to do it. I neighbor of mine ran for congress against Emanuel Cleaver for the second time and of course lost again. He could NO airtime on the local TV stations or talk radio shows. No mention in the Kansas City (Falling) Star. This is nearly impossible odds to overcome if you can't even get any press coverage. So, I think, it starts with us DEMANDING these TV stations and radio stations start by showing BOTH side of the story when it comes to local and national elections. Boycott them, boycott the companies that buy advertising on those stations. Be committed and stick to your guns. I refuse to buy any GE product because of their continued business with Iran even after it was proven Iran was supplying weapons to the terrorists in Iraq. It may become inconvenient at times, but enough people boycotting and speaking out will make a difference. It starts with us. This is quite interesting.
