Prolonged Eye Contact

If you are on Twitter, let’s make some noise to get some national media on Texas

I love Tumblr but I just don’t know how to use it mobilize.

But I know Twitter.

And so I’m starting there.

If you are on Twitter and you’d like to see more national media coverage about what is going on in Texas, let’s let the right people know:

@mhpshow (hashtag #nerdland)

@maddow

@thereval

@edshow

@lawrence

@TheDailyShow

@StephenAtHome

@abc

@cbsnews

I’m hashtagging my tweets with #TXreprohealth.

Always, if you can fit it, #prochoice, #fem2, #p2.

Some links you can provide:

From Austin Chronicle: Perhaps the clearest explanation of the destruction of Texas’ Women’s Health Program (and health care for 130K Texans)

From Texas Tribune: Denial of medicaid funds to repro health simply to punish PP will cost 130,000 people health care

From Texas Tribune: In TX and VA, Sonogram Bills Got Different Reactions

From The American Prospect: Where was Outrage over Texas’s Sonogram Law?

From Hay Ladies: Texas Has Transvaginal Ultrasounds even though ruled unconstitutional

Feel free to steal this sample tweet:

.@maddow, please cover the dismantling of #reprorights in TX: 1) transvaginal ultrasounds and 2) this: http://www.texastribune.org/texas-health-resources/abortion-texas/suehs-signs-rule-banning-abortion-affiliates/ #TXreprohealth

I know there are other states suffering right now, especially South Dakota and Oklahoma. I want to fight all the fights. But for me, this one is personal.

If you have other twitter accounts, hashtag ideas, any kind of ideas on how to mobilize the national media, I would love to have them.
