Getting the Press to Cover Your Campaign

Click Here!

This is a review of the ebook by Joe Garecht, “Everything You Wanted to Know About : Getting the Press to Cover Your Campaign”

First of all with a 2002 copyright date, you might think the the information is out of date – however what Joe discusses is the idea of journalism as a behavior regardless of the year, the customs or the medium. In other words, what he write could apply to 2010 , 1988, or 1968.

Next thing- he is writing for the local elected official – and perhaps the person running for the first time against an incumbent. A person may have the best of intentions, but when they go up against a party machine – things get can get, well kinda ugly.

I recommend getting joingn his email list Local Victory and getting this short and sweet 6 page ebook.

If you want more info – drop me a line.

Tea Party National Convention and the Media Circus

After seeing Sarah Palin’s speech in Nashville , at the Tea Party National Convention,  I felt I had to change things up  when a quote by Sarah Palin hit home:

“If you can’t ride two horses – you shouldn’t be in the circus.”

When I told my buddy Bruce about this he just laughed at me and said, ” You ride about five horses!”

I guess if I can ride five horses maybe I should be in the circus.

“Don’t be distracted by the mMaginley and Company, Museum, Circus, Menagerie and Trained Animaledia circus that gets played out every day with entertainment info that is passed off as news.  It numbs our minds from the substance of what should be part of the of the national conversation.
