I am continually preparing materials that will help us spread the word. Please check back for updates. If you have suggestions or if you can help to prepare these materials please click here:
Slogans are not effective in winning support for a cause. Information is effective. A sign that says “No ware for oil” tells people how we feel but does not convince anyone that it is about oil. We have to inform the public, not yell at them about how we feel.
This campaign is designed to bring awareness to people who do not realize that the media is deceiving them. The idea is to point them to this web site so that they can read the explanation that I have prepared. The flyers below are informative; they do not simply show our position. We have to stay positive.
Don’t TELL people that there is a problem. Suggest to them that they might want to learn more. Stay positive! Nobody likes to be told that they are wrong, so use a gentle approach. It is easier to make friends than to attack enemies!
NOTE: It has come to our attention that someone or some people have been trying to scam the post office by mailing out our flyers with no postage and placing the delivery address as the return address. The intention here is to scam the post office by having these flyers delivered for free. This is a crime. If you are a true supporter of TvNewsLIES.org you will join us in making this world a better place. Defrauding our postal service is not an action that makes our world a better place. Please, think twice when you are trying to do the right thing. Hypocrisy is a self defeating quality. Please join us in our quest to make our world a more decent place. Thank you!

We can take action in several ways.
Simply hand out informative information to our friends.
One of our readers has pointed out that it is not legal for anyone other than US Post Office employes to stuff mail boxes. Please take this under consideration if you distribute flyers to your neighbors.
Street corner hand out campaign. We can hand out the materials on the street or park ourselves in front of the media outlets and hand out the materials. Having one or two of the posters would be a good idea if we take part in this activity.
Place the posters in LEGAL locations. DO NOT VANDALIZE PROPERTY!!! Hang them in your office, on at your place of business or any where as long as it is legal.
Place the flyers on community bulletin boards, in libraries, supermarkets, schools, etc.
Mail post cards. If you have a budget and the means to do direct mailing this would be great.
Bumper stickers. If you can print the materials on bumper stickers that would be great!

Nothing but lip service - From the Army Times - In recent months, President Bush and the Republican-controlled Congress have missed no opportunity to heap richly deserved praise on the military. But talk is cheap — and getting cheaper by the day, judging from the nickel-and-dime treatment the troops are getting lately. - For example, the White House griped that various pay-and-benefits incentives added to the 2004 defense budget by Congress are wasteful and unnecessary — including a modest proposal to double the $6,000 gratuity paid to families of troops who die on active duty. This comes at a time when Americans continue to die in Iraq at a rate of about one a day. - MUST READ! - TVNL comments: Folks, you may want to e-mail or hand a printout of this article to all the “troop supporters” that you know; including the people in the media!
The Troop Support Report - A Guide for the Military and Their Families - Compiled by TV News Lies - Show the troops EXACTLY how the Bush.PNAC administration supports them!
