[IMC-US] Another draft of press release.

[Tribal Scribal]

Excellent. How about my earlier question about who sends it where and when? 
It seems like "when" might be Sunday night, yes? How about who sends it 
where? This is the breakdown i asked about this morning:

<<Should we take like categories to send it out to, like 1)other independent 
media; 2)liberal media; 3)p&j groups; 4)media activist groups; etc.? >>

If this works for everyone, people could pick a category and ask the list 
for any additional links they don't have, UNLESS someone is sitting on the 
mother of all lists, of course!  :)

d.o.
