Press Release Suggestion

I like the idea of just doing a "Media Alerts" and then as things get formalized doing press releases from that point of view to begin to tell our collective story. This is my first idea for a "MEDIA ADVISORY" .... I may get to something for the Governor. I thought there was a subcommittee for Media/Outreach, so sorry if I've misposted this idea here, I could only find this group. =) My suggestion for a temperature check:
"MEDIA ADVISORY:
Please be advised that on 31 July 2014, individuals from all walks of life will be gathering in Sacramento, California to occupy themselves with the social and political issues that concern them the most for which they desire and demand their government(s) be more responsive to their directives as to how they consent to be governed. Organized events are being scheduled from 31 July 2014 to 3 August 2014 through a collection of volunteers and organizations from all over the United States. For more information:
WEBSITE, EMAIL, FONE?"

Jackie, I agree things seem to be sometimes posted in the wrong place. Here’s a suggestions for how to organize our ideas, discussions and groups:
We could decide which pertain to our communing (where we camp and think), which refer to our planned nonviolent civil-disobediant actions, and which refer to how we move our bodies between communing and acting. I’m pretty sure if those three things are carefully coordinated, our effectiveness will be enhanced.

I copied the Media Advisory into a document; will play around with it and put it onto the relevant Titanpad.

(Rather than propagate an off-topic tangent by responding to the thing about the discussion categories here (which is a discussion about the press release), instead I thought I'd model what I'd like people to do:)
Can we keep the thread on organizing conversation over on the "Organizing Categories of Thought..." discussion and not duplicate it here?

Here’s a Media Alert on what's going on in Chicago today. We can use it as a template. I think using a paste bin is smart.
“Free Speech and the Criminalization of Occupy”
