I think that I just came up with a really good idea. http://www.comedycentral.com/help/questionsCC.jhtml
The is the Link to leave comedy central messages and comments about there shows. If we the fight with tools community all leave a message say something like:
Dear Comedy Central, I was leaving a message to ask you if you would have the Flobots on The Daily Show and the Colbert Report. The are great innovative musicians and a very socially rared towards positive change in America.
Thank you for you time.
If they get flooded with all of us sending them message then some one will have to look into to it and I truly believe they would have them on as guest and then they would be able to plug Fight With Tools and our community could grow exponentially.
I think this is a good idea and Im going to send them the messege right now. I hope others will too. Fill free to cut and paste what I wrote.
I'm so glad you posted this. I've been wanting to post something like this. I've been emailing Comedy Central for the last few months (great minds think alike? :]) At frist, I was doing one letter per day, but I couldn't keep up! I like to put things in the letter about how they're activists, politically conscious, socially active, former teachers and just overall a very intelligent group who drop names of major political/social actors in their songs. I also put in that analogy of how their like Rage Against the Machine, except that the Flobots don't leave someone angry after a show, they leave their audiences feeling empowered to create change/particpate in their communities and political processes. And they've created a venue for that via FWT. I dunno if that would help in a letter, but that's what I do...To me, it communicates that they're on the same page as Stewart/Colbert. Plus, an opportunity for Flobots to be on CR/DS could translate to our street teams growing, giving us more hands to help our causes for change. They're a group of musicians who would be a-mazing to watch Colbert/Stewart interview as well as see perform…I mean hello Colbert had NAS and even itnerviewed him about his song...It was very cool...Need the flobots in a similar position in the future! ;) Hopefully our community effort will get them on there!!!! :) How exciting!
