Title: E-MAIL TARGET:Week of 10/13/03
Post by SommelierCH on Oct 13^th, 2003, 10:38am

My thanks, and my hat’s off to:

OneEyeBlind, Roxy, Miss_Deleny, Edna, Jackie, Mastifflvr28, brain_cramps, angry_bear, jonny, UnsolvedEquation, Mr.Happy, andy, Prense, Melissa, juvy, ozzman, TxBasslady, gmlevenhagen, pigeon, stevegeebe, DJ, BarbaraD, aprilbee, LasVegas, mikezz, River_Rat, Charlie, BobG, Kirk, Lori. These are the people who E-Mailed our last Target.

I will now consider you 30 people, our core group, you are the ones who will be here every week (you know, within reason).I hope this idea becomes an anchor for this site. I hope that ClusterHeads out of cycle will check in every week to see what they can do to help.

ATTENTION: Once you write a letter to an E-mail Target, you can use that same letter for all the other targets. Write your letter in “Word”, then just “copy and paste” into each message box. That’s what I’m doing now on this post. You do your spell check in “Word” and paste into the message box. Save your original letter and just recycle.

The plan is to have all the ClusterHeads and Supporters around the world focus on one Target every week, with a barrage of email. We only want them to know… that we exist… Everything else WILL follow.

There will be 52 Email Targets every year. We are starting out with the media.

This weeks E-mail Target is Barbara Walters and the television show 20/20.

http://a.abcnews.com/media/2020/images/abc_barb_walters_010821_nv.jpg

From the 20/20 contact page:

"E-mail 20/20
We Want to Hear from You

Do you have questions or comments about a recent 20/20 broadcast? Ideas for issues or stories you’d like us to explore?
Tell us what's on your mind!"

http://abcnews.go.com/sections/2020/2020/2020friday_email_form.html

Tell a small part of your story in a few paragraphs, or just ask them to do a show on us. Who knows what will eventually get through.

For those of you having a hard time getting started here are a few ideas.

Short bio’s of personal hell.
Hassles with Doctors.
Hassles with Insurance.
Hassles with Employers.
Definition of our pain.
How we deal with our families, how our families deal with us.
Remedies we’ve tried, to relieve the pain.
Meds that fuck up your life.
Financial burden of CH.
Internet medical support groups in general.
Any life-threatening misdiagnosis’.
Suicide.

Post back here if you emailed Barbara and 20/20, it will encourage others to get on board, and even a one word reply will help to keep this thread alive.

Sowing seeds,
David J.

David, did you check out the reply I received from ABC news in the Ted Koppel thread? You might want to, for I'm pretty sure it is not a canned response.
