Monday, August 25, 2003 Equal Press Exposure


Equal exposure would be of if there were only nine candidates,but when there
are 17 or more candidates everyone just gets a few minutes and little is said.
some balance needs to be found. I would vote for the audience to choose who
get to talk after a few minute intro by each candidate.
The Press sould just listen and take notes.

Dear friends and neighbors:

As much as I know it sucks to get mass mail, this one is important. The consensus of the Jim Reid campaign believe the press also known as "The Fourth Estate", is not giving each of the mayoral candidates equal press, instead they print only what they see as news-worthy. Would each of you please do me a favor? Would you be so kind as to write an email to the San Francisco Chronicle demanding equal press coverage for all Mayoral candidates?

After all, in this, and all elections, you the voter have the right to know all of the candidates and their platforms. How can we make intelligent and informed decisions without all information. I mean, would you purchase a house if it was infested with termites and the seller told you this?

So please, demand all the information from your press. And remember, register to vote, and go to the polls on November 4. Be a part of your community, for United We Stand.

Thank you for your valuable time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Scott Houston, Campaign Manager Jim Reid for Mayor Committee

Monday, September 1, 2003 Live 105 Broadcast


Hi Ally,

My name is Scott Houston, Campaign Manager for Jim Reid for Mayor. You may remember a few weeks ago, we spoke on the phone briefly about the Mayoral campaign (I called to ask for the business ph. no.) and Jim's platform.

I'd like to know your thoughts regarding the Mayor's seat and the issues facing San Francisco. I would also like to pass an idea your way:

I've had the thought of doing a live feed (perhaps this Labor Day Weekend) at one of the local Safeway stores, or perhaps other public place, to promote Voter Registration - sponsored by the Jim Reid Campaign, and several other of our contributing groups.

We're planning to use the services of some of our local business to patriotically decorate one or all of our vehicles -- the main one called: The San Francisco Voter Van. Then set up at a to-be-designated location with several volunteers on hand to register San Francisco voters. We believe this will generate good press coverage, gain listener support for your radio station and your daily show while pulling customers into the chosen location via broadcasts from your live feed. The major message we would like to send is that it takes the population of the city to change the way things are. This being accomplished by taking a stand to make a decision on election day.

Your station was the first to come to mind because Live 105 is my personal favorite. Second, you are San Francisco's Alternative station and Jim Reid is the Alternative candidate for Mayor. While others talk about doing something about homelessness and the upcoming MUNI fare increase, Jim Reid is doing something about it. He built the smallest house and is the only candidate to ride MUNI everyday to tell riders about the fare increase and tout his message about a better San Francisco for everybody. As well, he has written lyrics for, had music written, and produced a recording of a rock song called Who's Gonna Help Us.

I wanted to give you first choice for an exclusive spot at the preview of the San Francisco Voter Van and live first shot at premier of the new song. The possibility for commercial success for the KITS sponsors, our sponsors, and the chosen commercial location (possibly one of your sponsor's locations) along with the press coverage alone is worth the consideration of this idea. Ally, I would greatly appreciate your consideration of this idea and I would hope it may be something you might enjoy participating in. You may reach me on my cell at: 415-595-1828.

Again, thank you for taking the time to chat with me on the phone, and I hope to hear from you very soon. There are 72 days left until our local election, as well, there are even fewer day until the recall election.

Sincerely,
Scott Houston
Campaign Manager
Jim Reid for Mayor Committee
