In furtherance of the ideas embodied in the petition, I suggest we take full page advertisements in the private print media. I have checked with an editor of one of the papers and I am told issue oriented ads can be purchased. A full page ad would cost about $100 (hundred dollars) per edition. We can hence run the petition as many times as we can pool resources together. I would forward the petitions sent to me via the UDP website contact address to the party leadership. I would also do a followup telephone call to the party leadership. Together we can very efficiently coordinate this very important campaign from our diverse locations with maximum impact. I will look into the possibility of running radio ad with the folks running the private station and advise list members accordingly. Like any good idea this too would demand much more than our express wishes. We would have to be persistent coupled with a strong desire to invest time and resources. If the newspaper ads sits well with list members, we can proceed by using the infrastructure for the Massacre Action Plan to serve as a conduit to pay for the campaign. We can just send contributions designated for this campaign to the coordinator for the expressed purpose of paying for the ads.
