WEEK THREE - MEDIA TARGET FOR BERNIE SANDERS - LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN

Last edited Mon May 11, 2015, 04:52 AM - Edit history (2)

[font color="navy" size="6"]Bernie Sanders Group - Targeted Mainstream Media Program[/font]

NOTE: Because David Letterman has such little time left as the host, let's keep this target for another week. Email, tweet, Facebook, get your friends and family to do the same

[font color="navy"]In an effort to gain more media traction the Bernie Sanders Group is asking YOU to take some time and talk about Bernie on social media. We also would ask that you reach out to the mainstream media as well, in order to make our actions towards the mainstream media we'd like to target one media personality a week. In order to do this we will need you to reach out and contact this media personality with positive information/news about Bernie Sanders.

This week's media personality focus will be The Late Show with David Letterman

I've been silent for decades with zero enthusiasm until now. It's the enthusiasm that's infectious.

Letterman's Last Show is Wed., May 20 but there's a chance BERNIE could be among the final top guests who 'Time' so far says are Clooney, Julia Roberts, Oprah, President Obama and others. *It wouldn't surprise me if Dave put Bernie on since he's so popular now.

And there are many other well known Shows, Venues and Media that can be contacted. Bernie and his message have the public's attention now with good reason! Let's keep up the momentum!!

Yes we need to keep it up. And letterman is a big one.

Keep it up, keep writing, tweeting facebooking.

I seldom have good ideas so I will take credit

The post, however, was all Agschmid taking my idea and running with it. I just used the template of the post Agschmid sent to me and changed the particulars for letterman. I will keep doing so each week

I have no shame in running with something good!

Thanks again

8. Done!

"Dear Sir or Madam,

I would respectfully suggest that Mr. Letterman consider Vermont Senator and presidential contender Bernie Sanders as a guest on one of Mr. Letterman’s remaining shows. Mr. Letterman is an icon of American culture, not just as an entertainer, but as a humane individual. At this critical juncture in American history, what better way to add to Mr. Letterman’s legacy than to spotlight an individual who has consistently championed the ordinary American, whatever his/her race, creed or cultural affiliation. Mr. Letterman can make a lasting contribution to the course that Americans will set in 2016.

I salute Mr. Letterman’s long career and I wish him all the best going forward."

Thank you! I am going to write again and steal this. I will change it a little so it doesn't look like a form letter but it's so good I won't change it much. This is great!

Thanks so much!

11. I'm glad you find this useful, Mary.
