SCAAMD - Calling All Watchdogs


Nothing is more frustrating than reading a news article, or watching a pundit on television, and finding that the truth is being distorted right before your eyes. Maddening as hell, isn't it? Media distortions will continue to be allowed as long as no one fights back with the truth.

That's where SCAAMD comes in. You've heard about SCAAMD (Sudden Citizens' Action Against Media Distortion) for a few months now, if you have been keeping up with posts by Raider99 and Ripper McCord and others. Well, we (SCAAMD) are almost ready to launch our website and introduce ourselves to the world. *But we need your help*.

We need volunteer administrators to take turns running SCAAMD's website. We need responsible, fair-minded, tech-savvy people who can contribute their intelligence, righteous indignation and just a very few hours a week to helping ensure fair coverage of our politics.

Please contact your homegrown grassroots media watchdog at info AT scaamd DOT org if you can help us. We want to launch this puppy this week - just in time to start fighting back against the worst of the media distortions we know will be injected into this campaign.

*Please help*. Thanks.

Sounds interesting. I'm not likely to find any important vote stuff happening in Chicago. Even without the old joke about voing early and often Chicago will go for Obama like 5 to 1.

But maybe I can help a little with web stuff.

Thanks Tom. The email address is spelled out for you -- please get in touch if you feel like helping out. We'd be grateful.

Correction: We want to launch the website this week, not next.

Sorry for the confusion,

DagBlog.com will leverage our vast readership to promote SCAAMD and also send anything we find your way. (OK, the readership not very vast, but it's growing.)

What's sorts of help do you need besides programming? (Technically, "techy" includes writing, to me, as a writer.) I'm not promising anything; but it does get tiresome to post rebuttals of crap, somewhat scattershot, at random, here, and there, and over there somewhere.

Thanks for the interest, I appreciate it! Um, it's not so much rebutting strangers. We'll be getting live feeds of news items that can be acted upon with a letter, email or phone call. But I really should let the group provide you with more detail. Please email the above address in my post (the one written out in that last big paragraph) and someone will get back to you with more detail. Thanks!!
