Dear World Can’t Wait Supporters,
We are striving to get C-SPAN to tape and broadcast the Monday evening Teach-in featuring Chris Hedges, Bill Goodman, Cristina Page, Les Roberts, and Larry Everest. We need your help – we are implementing a mass campaign to call, write, and fax C-SPAN with requests from all over the country to tape and broadcast our flagship Teach-in. C-SPAN would reach a very large audience, those who don’t have access to the web-casting, those who are in prisons, those who are watching their TV’s and don’t yet know why “It’s Worse Than You Think” and many more. Please send your own personal note or make a personal call to C-SPAN. This is the most effective way to influence their programming decisions. A sample letter and phone script follows; you may send/modify this form letter and send it on too. Directly following is the contact information for C-SPAN. Tell friends and colleagues to request that C-SPAN cover the “Chris Hedges, Les Roberts, Bill Goodman, Cristina Page World Can’t Wait Teach-in on Monday October 30th”.

Dear C-SPAN,
I am writing to request that you cover Chris Hedges, Les Roberts, Bill
Goodman, Cristina Page, and Larry Everest speaking at the World Can’t
Wait Teach-in in New York City on Monday October 30th at 7pm at St.
John the Divine at Amsterdam and 111th St. I want to hear these
speakers and the only way that I will be able to do that is if CSPAN
records this program and airs it across the country. I want to hear
the epidemiologist LES ROBERTS, who recently co-authored the report
offering startling evidence that 655,000 Iraqis have died in the US
invasion and occupation, CHRIS HEDGES, the former Mid-East Bureau Chief
for the New York Times, and BILL GOODMAN, the Legal Director for the
Center for Constitutional Rights. I think that the very nature of U.S.
society and its relationship to other countries is being reshaped in
horrific ways before our eyes while the full implications of these
sweeping changes are not widely understood and I want to see this
Teach-in to know more about these issues.
Sincerely,
__________(your name)_____________
