How about a Flowers for Olbermann project? |
|
Like what was done for Helen Thomas? Someone with more savvy and experience than I, can you head it up?

7. Fair to middle. Living in NH right now. |

Thinking about moving on to Boston, but nothing definite and no quick moves. Doing research and getting ready to write a book.

13. Got my oldest daughter moved in for her second year |
|
at Mercer Univ. in Macon (where her mom teaches.) Trying to get my middle daughter through her Sr. year in H.S. (going to be Valedictorian just like her older sister was...hear the pride?) And, watching my youngest daughter as she enters middle school. Mulling over a career change myself.

16. Thinking about going back into teaching |
|
Physical Education after 24 years in another "classified" occupation. Coaching is my first love, and since I've got another 20 years to retirement, thought I might as well get paid to do something I like. Know what I mean?

28. The psychology of hiking. I've been surveying hikers in this area |
|
So far, a tremendous amount of interest.

I've e-mailed him my thanks. I'm a guy (straight one at that...not that it matters) and I like flowers, but if anyone can come up with another idea, I'm all for it!

26. I don't know for sure - I am a fulltime mom who is also a campaign manager |
|
I would love to but hesitate only in that I am doing a lot right now. I CAN commit to helping. I know the people at Organic Bouquet. We raised the money before via paypal.

17. Have you seen it? The clip is on Crooks and Liars |
|
and this went way above "doing his job". It was a landmark broadcast. Instead of flowers we could do a plaque or a shadowbox or something, they are pretty cheap at any trophy store.

18. He already got a tie from the KOEB and I think flowers |
|
would embarrass him.
He also has Celiac Disease, so I'd be careful with what foods I'd send him.
I think a horde of HAND-WRITTEN, STAMPED and US POSTAL SERVICE-MAILED letters would probably be the best thing to do. An email is quick and easy, but if one takes the time to actually put pen to paper and buy a stamp and mail a letter, it's taken more seriously.

Email the C&L clip to everyone you know, along with times & station info for your area!
I think that would serve KO better than flowers.

Create a buzz. Write letters and emails. Explain to everyone that THIS is how journalism is SUPPOSED to work: protection of free speech and the First Amendment.
