[Noisebridge-discuss] PBS looking to interview conservatives

[Jake]

Dear Kelley,

It seems that you're looking for the 1%, and they tend not to be at these 
protests.  I have observed that the media in general seem more interested 
in telling their side of the story (which America has been hearing all 
along) while leaving the 99% movement a mystery for their audience.

Have you done any stories on the 99% yet?  Or are you just hoping to start 
at the top?

I volunteer to be interviewed.  I consider myself very conservative - I 
think we should conserve the planet earth, we should conserve electricity 
and oil and the parts of nature which haven't already been 'civilized'. 
I think we should conserve culture, and autonomy of established 
civilizations around the world (i.e. i am against war).

You can contact me directly if you wish.

Sincerely,
-jake

Hello-
I live in Sausalito and don't have a line of sight but am writing to see 
about doing a profile for newsmotion.org on 2-3 people involved with the 
OWS movement, preferably people who are involved for the first time and 
perhaps even some unexpected personalities- ie) anyone more independent 
politically or even a bit conservative. The idea is if "we are the 99%," 
then there must be at least some people who are more conservative.

To learn more about Newsmotion, go to:

Newsmotion also has contributed to PBSNewhour's website and so there is a 
chance that the profile I produce could go there too.
Thanks so much!
