Scott McLarty, GPUS Media Committee Coordinator, has written the article It’s Time To Dump The Dems, Support The Green Insurgency on Znet.

McLarty appaluds a recent November 9 editorial in The Nation in which the it is stated that no canidatate will be supported who does not call for a speedy end to the Iraq war. McLarty also calls upon The Nation and other publications that have opposed the war redirect their support towards candidates and parties that have consistently opposed the war from the beginning and called for withdrawal–like the Green Party and examines the reasons why.

Utah Peace Train

Posted on November 22, 2005 | 6 comments

Tom King, a Green Party of Utah member and participant with People for Peace and Justice of Utah appeared in the KCPW Radio Program Miday Metro, speaking about the Utah Peace Movement. Tom appeared with another guest from another newly formed Utah Peace Organization.

Interesting Note: Both guests refer to the Green Party of Utah, but only one speaks the truth.

The continuing media saga

Posted on November 20, 2005 | 3 comments

Oh, I get it now…..here’s the real news:
In today’s Deseret News the top two headlines:

  • Rivalry goes U.’s way
  • Rivalry runs red
    and in the Salt Lake Tribune, the top article:
  • Update: Utah survives BYU comeback, wins 41-34 in OT

    ….all about college football!
    (as I bang the heel of my hand to my forehead….)

    Silly me thinking there was more important news. As Napolean Dynamite would say “Gosh…..idiot!”

    Funny….

    Posted on November 16, 2005 | Leave a comment

    It’s now been 5 days since the press release went out announcing Julian Hatch’s candidacy.

    And still no word of it in the Utah newspapers.

    Jen’s Journal mentions it; Ken Sain mentions it; and it’s mentioned on Utah Policy’s Blogwatch today.

    Another release went out this morning announcing the press conference this Saturday. There will be more information on this blog regarding that soon.

    I wonder if the local papers will pick this up or will keep trying to ignore Hatch v. Hatch?

    Hatch v Hatch media coverage

    Posted on November 13, 2005 | Leave a comment

    As Outreach Coordinator for the Julian Hatch for U.S. Senate Campaign, I was excited to learn that the press release I issued to Utah Media Outlets reached the Associated Press, resulting in the announcement getting published in about 20 national and international outlets, including the London Guardian.

    Two Utah television stations picked up the story.

    Nada in the two major papers in Utah – the Salt Lake Tribune and the Deseret News.

    So this morning I have emailed the press release to about two dozen news reporters at those two papers, pointing out that the news has been released internationally. Let’s see if that gets any coverage.

    Meanwhile we are preparing for a Campagin Kickoff Press Conference next Saturday, November 19th just prior to the GPUT’s film screening of the new Walmart movie. I’ll provide more details here in a few days.

    ABC talk show host deceives us into an interview

    Posted on October 25, 2005 | Leave a comment

    Today has been a flurry of activity surrounding the 2000th soldier death. Tom has been contacted by all sorts of media. One person called him from ABC news in Washington DC and told Tom he would be interviewing him and would appear on the Salt Lake Affiliate, KSL (a Mormon-owned broadcast company). At first Tom had reservations because of the conservative nature of this station, but figured an interview would be o.k.

    It turns out that the person who interviewed Tom was Lars Larsen of the Lars Larsen Show from Portland, Oregon. He is like a Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly. (blech!)
    He really laid into Tom about being unpatriotic, etc. He interrupted Tom in mid-sentence in every sentence and attacked him and defended the reasons for going to war in Iraq.Tom chose not to continue the converstation when he was put on hold during the break.

    It was highly deceiving to tell someone they were being interviewed for a news program only to be criticized and ostricized by a talk show host. Very dishonest.

    2000th soldier’s death closing in

    Posted on October 25, 2005 | Leave a comment

    Ken Sain has reported that 1,997 soldiers have been killed in Iraq since the 2003 invasion there.

    The Iraq casualties website reports 1,999, with 9 not being confirmed by the DOD. I have also heard that CNN has reported that Air America Radio has already reported the 2000th soldier death.

    Besides being involved in the Green Party, Tom and I also volunteer for and participate with People for Peace and Justice of Utah, which has been doing outreach during the past month (ironically before UFPJ‘s call for action) for a vigil that will occur when the 2000th soldier is reported to have died. Details on that vigil are at the PPJ website and also at Progressive Utah.

    Yesterday Tom was interviewed by a reporter from the Deseret News and also from a reporter from KCPW public radio in Salt Lake.

    I had an earlier post containing a video about the 2000th soldier death.
