How to get your idea on the Ridley Report

By Laura • August 26th, 2009

Sponsor: http://LiveFreeOrDieRally.com – Some tips on giving me news releases that have a good chance of turning into stories. In a nutshell: Do something that’s visual and easy to videotape (like a protest). Videotape it yourself and put it on YouTube publicly for me to pick up. Send me all the Who/What/Where/When/Why.

Sorry for the out-of-date ad…..this story uploaded before the rally but failed to appear on YouTube for some reason. The ad is thus a freebie.

Also here is an article I wrote about getting positive *mainstream* news coverage:

Or you can buy Jeff Crilley’s book:

This vid features people who move to New Hampshire for more freedom….they’re called “Free Staters:”

  • Ninety eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hardworking, honest Americans. It’s the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then, we elected them. Lily Tomlin
