I agree. Some tribes are already laying the PR groundwork for the fight now with vague concept commercials. We can only get so far discussing this on Bob's site. I don't have the talent or know-how, but would be happy to contribute to a PR fund to the get the word out (news/TV/newspapers) if an organized effort could be piggy-backed onto an existing framework. You can only get so far on a niche issue like this if you use internet alone. Only 5% of people care about this issue, and we need to reach enough of them, so gotta use a wide net.
