If you get any email bounces to these addresses can you please post in this thread and let us know. This list is from September 08 and some of the staff may have moved on.

SEND ONLY ONE EMAIL AT A TIME TO THESE ADDRESSES.

Do not use CC or BCC to send email to many of them at once, it is considered impolite.

Get Emailing!

[Lucy]

  Great list!!
  Another suggestion:  If everyone uses the same key words in the subject line (but not precisely the same words, as if SPAM is being sent), the recipient will start noticing the pattern without even having to open the emails (which at times can be numerous), and thus be more curious.
  I suggest the words Mudflats & Doogan, but perhaps others who are more savvy at this have another suggestion.  Doogan + ethics?  Mudflats & 1st Amendment.

[LadyRose]

I didn't Rachel Maddow's email listed - rachel@msnbc.com

Just sent my email off to her and will send more to others on the list.

Progressive radio has been very supportive of AKM.
I am sure will be very interested in reporting and commenting on this situation.
Ed Shultz met with AKM when he was up in Alaska and has mentioned her on his show several times.
His Producer is James Holm and his email is james@edschultzshow.com
Ed's email is ed@edschultzshow.com
Mike Malloy's email is mike@mikemalloy.com
His Producer is Kathy Bay and her email is malloyproducer@aol.com
*updated* Bill Press has recently had an editorial in the Washington Post in February about Progressive Voices being Silenced.His email is on his contact page at http://www.billpress.com/contactus/.
 He can also be reached on AOL Instant Messenger, Screen name: BillPressShow
Thom Hartmann's email is thom@thomhartmann.com
Stephanie Miller's Producer is Chris Lavoie and his email is Chris@StephanieMillerShow.com
The Program Directors at the local progressive stations can be very helpful in getting the word out and also getting this posted on their station websites.
The Program Director for KKGN in San Francisco is JohnScott@Green960.com

[Lani]

Ed Schulz is an excellent idea!  How about Stephanie Miller?  I'll leave the contact info to others as it's 4am in HI, and I'm going back to sleep!

Thanks for the fabulous list. I was up all night writing about this issue and others. I skipped the evil fox network and the Limbaugh.

Some of the addresses have been taken off the initial list as they bounced when I sent email.

I will be editing the list as addresses bounce, if they do.

I chose to cancel our subscription to the Anchorage Daily News this morning. After the phone call, I emailed the Circulation Director to explain why just in case the non-English-as-a-native-language didn't get it right. Here is my letter:

Dear Mr. Weinfurter,

This is a followup email to clarify the reasons I gave the phone call center operator when I canceled our Anchorage Daily News subscription this morning.

While I expected the ADN to support their boy Mike Doogan, I was hoping against hope that the ADN might choose to support the right of an ordinary citizen to remain anonymous instead. However, since the Ear (which is pretty much written anonymously, I might point out) chose to post the real name of the Alaska blogger Mudflats, I choose to cancel our subscription in protest of the ADN's hypocrisy and lack of ethics. Publishing this blogger's name was done solely for the reason of trying to silence them and have petty revenge. I find this action on the part of the ADN Ear to be reprehensible.

Journalists and newspapers in particular have always defended their right to use anonymous sources and for the ADN to 'out' someone who chose to be anonymous is extremely hypocritical and ethically wrong in my opinion. I support my opinions with my money and therefore, have canceled our subscription. I hope others will do the same. Your paper is not worthy of existence if it does not serve the people and the right to free speech.

[Irishgirl]

  kenaiqueen, and that was a great letter.

[kenaiqueen]

Thank you. I received an email back from the editor making many excuses, but what it came down to is that they don't respect the right to remain anonymous and I see no reason to engage in further dialog with them.

My DH will miss doing the daily puzzles, but I'll buy him a puzzle book.
