C*A*P*I*T*A*L*I*Z*E* on SECESSION

by Tim Manning

 

Capitalize on the current interest in the restoration of State sovereignty and independence!!! We have NEVER had a situation like this before where so many doors are open to us and ears that are ready to listen. The League of the South is prepared better than anyone else to assist you. I have been the media contact for many "Pro-Life" groups, Lions Club information on Sight and Hearing Impaired issues and local services, and issues in healthcare with a focus on the Care and Health for the Aging and the Elderly. Here is short introduction to what we can and should be doing.

1.  Call your local talk TV and radio stations . . . Start a media contact file for future use and get them talking about aspects independence, freedom, liberty and secession. Use and give them "Talking Points", maybe even a list of questions you are prepared to answer. The media does not know HOW to discuss these topics. Their manners are poor and their memories are short . . . they need to be reminded about everything. Alert your friends to do the same. Think LOCAL and stay focused! News Sources want a local CONTACT to interview. Maintain a record of all media contacts, names, addresses, form of communication desired. Stations are required to provide their listeners with so many minutes of free Public Service Announcements. Those can be yours! Be very careful about who they interview as they are prepared to do you more harm than good. Stay focused and control your agenda. Give them a name and phone number for that local contact IN WRITING. A League of the South (LS) member may be close to your area . . . find out. They are very knowledgeable and resourceFUL. You have to "spoon feed" the media. You know what they do not know. Do not attempt to speak for or attack other organizations. . . . they will spin your words in a way you might not appreciate (they almost always do) . . . stay focused and control your agenda! P.S. When the stations like you they will redo parts of your interview and tell you how you best will come across on the camera! This has been a hugh help for me.

2.  Write letters to the editor of your local newspapers and send them information articles and don't forget the smaller, often free, local newspapers that are starved for local news and local writers. Offer printable photos of your contact person. Have your local/closest most skilled person write "news releases" daily or regularly for all of these sources in the form they desire. Think LOCAL! News media want a local CONTACT to interview. Establish a local contact and have them all the media giving them their name and phone number for that local. A League of the South (LS) member may be close to your area . . . find out. They are very knowledgeable and resourceFUL. You have to "spoon feed" the media. You know what they do not know. Do not overfeed your media contact person, and absolutely do not attempt to speak for or attack other organizations. . . . they will spin your words in a way you might not appreciate . . . stay focused and control your agenda!

3.  Call your elected representatives for your city, county, State, federal and 1) ask to meet with them on this topic, 2) send them your news releases, 3) send their contact information to all of your friends, 4) ask your friends to do the same and make them think that everyone from your town all the way to Mars is supportive and talking about independence! 5) contact the closest League of the South State and local chapters who can tell you what to do next and offer to speak to local groups for you. Local libraries often offered free and safe settings for this kind of meeting. Do not overfeed your elected representative, and absolutely do not attempt to speak for or attack other organizations. . . . they will spin your words in a way you might not appreciate . . . stay focused and control your agenda! Don't blabber, they consider their time very important, and it is as is yours.
