I think I planted a seed this morning! **UPDATE**

I listen to my local rock station in the morning, just because I am so sick of the Neocon talk radio that is on in the morning.
The DJ who does the morning show had been sick the last few days and was talking about how he didn't like TV at all anymore because the content was so pathetic. He mentioned how he liked public tv and was watching some things on the Iraq War.
So I called and congratulated him on shunning the monstrosity that is Time Warner and offered for him to watch the videos "America: Freedom to Fascism" and "Zeitgeist".
He eagerly wrote down the names of the videos and thanked me and had that "excited" tone to his voice, the tone that makes me truly believe he will watch them.
I told him to watch America first and let that soak in for about a week and then watch Zeitgeist.
To my surprise, he replayed our conversation over the air! I am so hoping that many of the listeners curiosities have been piqued.
I feel like an infowarrior today!
************UPDATE!!******************************
So I followed through on my promise to call him back. He was on vacation all last week and I called yesterday (Monday morning) and asked if he had a chance to watch the videos that I had suggested.
He replied that he didn't because he was away on vacation, but that he still would.
I said, "Oh it would be great if you could do that this afternoon, seeing how tax day is tomorrow, you would have some good information to talk about."
Well, he kept his promise and this morning he announced that everyone should watch FTF and do some research!
I called him and thanked him very much for helping open eyes, and he replied that he figured many wouldn't listen.
I countered and said no, you have planted many seeds and interested many people. I said it may take a little time, but if you continue to leave innuendos here and there, people will get curious and watch. I got HIM to watch, right?
And yes, today I mentioned Ron Paul to him. I didn't the first time I talked to him, because when waking people up, (at least my daughter) "yelling" and "bombarding" them with too much information usually results in a fight. Besides this way I can keep calling every week and seeing how he feels about certain issues. I definitely think it takes a certain amount of finesse and I am learning as I go, but I have been happy with the results!
My next goal is to be able to work with this DJ and see if we can't do a mass mailing together of FTF. That is what I plan on doing with my stimulus check!

Great Job! I have a story to
Great Job!
I have a story to tell too. Yesterday I was in line at the PO. I started talking to lady behind me about how unconstitutional it is pay income taxes. She agreed. I asked her if she had seen AFTF? She said no, but the guy in front of me turned around and told her she needed to see it. The guy was an American living in Panama since 1968! He and I got into the most interesting conversation. He told that lady again to watch the movie. Then the guy behind the lady was interested in what we were saying. The snow ball effect. I told both of them that I had donate AFTF to every library in town or they could watch it online.
I can only say WOW, what just happened here. Plus I happen to have on my Ron Paul peace is groovy t-shirt. LOL
I just had to share this. Shelley

I'll Second All Of these Comments Below - Good Job
Hats Off - You did really good.
Our genius plan is working!
See, that is all I do too, just start talking to other people all the time!
Makes you feel good, doesn't it Shelley? Good job!
I have quite a few clients
I have quite a few clients that have seen the movie and just loved it. My sweet mom (72) said she needs to see it again since there is so much information in it.
Plus last week I was at an anti-NAU meeting and both of the older ladies sitting next me hadn't seen the movie. I told them that my parents loved it. I gave them a business card that I made that says AFTF with the logo and a brief description of the movie on the back. Again I told them it was available at the library. I know the one lady will watch it and I bet she'll tell her friend to watch it too.
Yep everywhere I go I tell people about AFTF. I find it is the best movie to get people to understand what is going on.
I got one copy to our radio station guy. I wrote him a letter and asked if he has seen it but haven't gotten a reply. I just emailed him yesterday. He could be out of town. So I just keep at it.

Great Job
Had a great experience also 2 weeks ago. Listening to Mancow with Jesse Ventura (spelling don't kill me guys) and Jesse said Ron Paul was not running. I posted it here and I know a couple of us called the radio show and emailed them. Don't know if it had anything to do with it, but Ron Paul is on his show tomorrow.... Thanks to all that called in.
Thanks for Sharing!
Each person we wake up will wake up many more.
awesome

next time you talk to him you should record the radio broadcast and upload it!
Sorry to bump this up myself, but wanted everyone to see that it
does work to call and talk to people!
I hope this inspires others to do the same.
Dont be..
This is where I can say hey look at my quote below this. Great Work.

Put videos on access TV
EVERYONE: I would urge all of you to join your local public access stations, become a producer (just have to take one or two basic TV production courses), and put on ALL the liberty-leaning videos like the ones mentioned here. I found it very easy to get written permission for broadcast, and the DVD's are pretty cheap. The Ludwig von Mises Institute let me have one of their videos for free. The ones I would recommend are:
- "Money, Banking, and the Federal Reserve" (Ludwig von Mises Institute)
- "America: From Freedom to Fascism"
- "Overview of America" (John Birch Society)
- "The Case For Blocking the NAU" (John Birch Society)
- "Behind the Big News: Propaganda and the CFR" (John Birch Society - I called and they said they'll have it updated by this summer)
Schedule the heck out of these shows on EVERY access channel in America! Break the matrix! Sure they'll be on access channels, but most people channel surf anyway, and most access channels are on the lower tier, so if people happen to flip through good quality programming like this that doesn't look cheesy and amateurish, they won't automatically dismiss the program, and they just might find it interesting enough to continue watching and, possibly, learning.
P.S. - If you can think of any other similar quality shows, put those on, too. They just can't be the things that last for hours, like "Endgame" or "The Energy Non-Crisis" (although I'd love to put those on, too).

nice job
I cant believe how many people have never heard of FTF. Make copies and send em out
Thanks you guys for all the nice comments! I love the Revolution
Don't worry, I plan on a follow-up call next week to see what he thinks, if he doesn't say anything on air.

Good job. Do it again.
Give yourself a pat on the back.
Great work 'infowarrior'. Hopefully the D.J. will watch the videos and really think about them. If only you had mentioned Ron Paul as well - that would have been three strikes! Also, yes, more of us need to be doing this kind of thing.
Very good work. That's not
Very good work. That's not one seed, that's a few hundred at least.
I tend to get seeds out one at a time by giving away DVDs door to door. Its slow work but I suspect that it has a higher percentage of success than standing on street corners or the like.
We should
all be planting those kind of seeds!
Congrats! Local radio stations are the best way to get our message out. Just imagine if we all took the time to do this, it wouldn't really be that time consuming, and would make a phenomenal impact. Even one call a week. People are hungry for the truth right now!!
Nice!
Razorwind Studios is an official endorser of Ron Paul, and we will live free or die! 14th alternate to MN state!

Good job! The more people we can get to watch these movies, the more people we may be able to convince!
