We e-mail a press release to about 70 contacts that includes all of the TV, radio, and weekly and daily newspapers from Yuba City/Marysville in the south to Redding in the north and Paradise in the east to Willows in the west. (about a 60-mile radius — note that some places seem to ignore emailed press releases, preferring FAXed, which we haven't done yet)

This time we hand-delivered the press release and an information packet to our weekly and daily newspapers and all four TV news stations. (NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX) That might have made the difference.

In this instance, we also promoted it as "not a 9/11 Truth" event (except to 9/11 Truth-type people), even though we were the primary sponsors. And it really isn't a 9/11 Truth event, per se, it just has aspects of 9/11 Truth in it, and ancillary issues, etc.

Here is a copy of our press release. (it helps to have in the right format so it looks professional -- I changed a couple of items to protect from spammers, etc. and some of the formatting is gone, although some think it should be plain text anyway)

Coming to Chico
The Patriots Tour
featuring
Dr. Robert Bowman, Ph.D., Lt. Col., USAF (ret.)

Chico, CA; June 4, 2007 — The Chico 9/11 Truth group and Chico-area community members and groups present a speaking engagement on Saturday, June 9 at 7:00 p.m., to be held in a meeting room at the Masonic Family Center. The theme is Let's "Take Back America!" Dr. Bowman was called "The best public speaker in America" by the Los Angeles Times.

Tickets are $10 General Admission, $5 Seniors and Students. (requested donation) No one turned away if seats are available. Tickets can be purchased by calling 345-6867, or at the Chico Peace & Justice Center, 526 Broadway St., 893-9078 (chico-peace.org), and at Wild Oak, 328 Oak St., in Red Bluff. The Masonic Family Center is located at 1110 West East Ave., approximately three blocks East of Hwy 32.

Dr. Bowman is on a national "Patriots Tour" of 137 cities calling on Americans to "Take Back America" for our people and demand that government servants: 1) Follow the Constitution, 2) Tell the truth, and 3) Serve the people. Imagine what a difference that would make!

No more imperial presidency. No more undeclared wars of aggression. No more spying on the American people. No more jailing of dissidents. No more corporations importing and exploiting millions of illegal immigrants to drive down wages. No more exporting of jobs. No more NAFTA. No more North American Union. No more government lies, false-flag attacks, and cover-ups. No more corporate welfare. No more health plans written by insurance companies and pharmaceutical manufacturers. No more energy policies written by Exxon and Enron. No more trillions in debt. Let's “Take Back America!!”

Dr. Bowman's new website is: http://www.thepatriots.us/

ABOUT Chico 9/11 Truth —

Chico 9/11 Truth is a local, not-for-profit, peace and social justice group for the Chico, CA area. We are part of the national (and international) 9/11 Truth and Justice Movement, which is a fast-growing grassroots movement dedicated to educating people, informing them, and making them aware of the many problems and issues involved with the events of September 11, 2001, as well as ancillary and related issues, especially those stemming from 9/11. There is a growing concern that there is very strong evidence that the Official Government Conspiracy Theory Story is fallacious, fraudulent, and infected with lies, deceit and cover-up as to what really occurred. And that 9/11 was used, and is still being used, as a pretext by the United States government (and other governments) for unnecessary war actions and acts of aggression, and attacks against the civil liberties of Americans via the so-called Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and other laws and Presidential executive orders, as well as additional unlawful acts by governmental agencies. (such as illegal wiretaps, so-called "extraordinairy rendition", habeas corpus violations, etc.)

Our Mission Statement is as follows:

* Raise public awareness of the disturbing, unanswered questions surrounding the Sep. 11, 2001 attacks and advocate for a truly independent investigation of the attacks.

The Chico 9/11 Truth group meets the 2nd Thursday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the Chico Public County Library conference room located at 1108 Sherman Ave. (at E. 1st Ave., just a few blocks West of Hwy 99) Meetings are open to the public and everyone is encouraged to attend. Meetings are semi-casual, last 1 1/2 to 2 hours and usually consist of announcements and news, a DVD documentary video (30 to 90 mins.), followed with open discussion and the occasional presentation.

9/11 — GET rEVENge! (in a peaceful manner, of course)

(not really, but perhaps you get my drift — I just get so tired of hearing this sort of crap at this late date)

The modern day "Masons" have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH the "Freemasons" of olde.

Nothing. Nada. Zero. Zip. Zilch.

The fact that they even use a name stemming from the old society is a hilarious joke. (and anyone who has had even a passing association with the Masons, and/or the others, knows how comically true this is)

The Masons are basically the same thing as the Eagles, the Elks, the Moose, the Rotary Club, and all of the others.

Of course, there will always be the überParanoids who refuse to believe this is true, but that's simply because they are überParanoids. (and the like) But try to not let yourself fall into the unfortunate trap they have laid for themselves.

Remember: You can go wrong as much as by being too paranoid as you can by not being paranoid enough. True balance in all things is best if you can achieve that state of being. (and, btw, part of "true balance" is sometimes not embracing/indulging in some things at all, and vice versa)
