Fwd: need help setting up mad cow talks

[Guest guest]

Thought this would be of interest given our recent discussions.

Anyone interested in helping. I suspect EarthSave Seattle may be

interested in sponsering an event and could use some help.

12/25 I need help setting up mad cow talks

 

I'm considering dropping everything I'm doing and committing to an

emergency whirlwind national speaking tour in January given the

current mad cow crisis. I'm hoping to hit all the major cities. I'm

thinking some kind of major " town meeting " kind of public forums in

which I'd invite the cattlemen to come debate. Kind of a " get all

your questions about mad cow answered " sort of thing. I'm thinking

people are confused enough and skeptical enough of the USDA line that

it might be able to draw some big turnouts.

 

What I need, though, is responsible people on the ground to

coordinate the talks--book the space, print fliers, get it in the

local papers, promote it, publicize, get the press involved--all

that. Now I may be able to put together some sort of press pack

everyone can use, so it would just be a matter of sending the

preprinted press releases around, following up, copying the

preprinted fliers. Anyone you know locally have the time and

interest to help put something together like this?

 

I just want to keep this momentum going--the industry just wants this

to disappear, but I think we got to just keep hammering them. Would

you mind asking around and seeing if you think it worthwhile for me

to come to your city.
