Under Our Skin Action Alert!

[Guest guest]

I am forwarding this from Regan at Open Eye. Please pardon duplicates if

you have already seen it from another source.

Preliminary calls have established that some PBS stations have already

programmed the film while others appear to have no intention of airing

it. If you tell them you know a large group of people who will watch

and promote it, you might be able to persuade them to air it. Please

post here how your station responds to your call so the rest of us won't

continue to bother stations who already have programmed the film.

This project probably involves just 2 or 3 - phone calls. I sure hope

we hear some BUZZ about it, because no BUZZ will mean no one is doing

anything. This is your chance to be an activist! Go for it! Stations can

download the film for free from NETA on April 26 even if they don't use

it right away.

We want to see this film all over the USA!

Regan's message:

Dear UNDER OUR SKIN Supporter,

Just a quick update to let you know that starting next month the multi

award-winning UNDER OUR SKIN

<http://cts.vresp.com/c/?OpenEyePictures/a306025dc5/2340aa3fae/8de0ef6c9a> will

be airing on many PBS stations across the country, and every day more

and more stations are programming the film.

We're asking you to check to see if the film is scheduled to show in

your area. If your local PBS station has not scheduled the film, please

contact them and ask them to show it. Many of the stations that are

broadcasting UNDER OUR SKIN agreed to schedule it after receiving a

handful of calls from viewers in the community. And if you are willing

to help spread the word in your area about an upcoming broadcast, please

be sure to mention that to your PBS affiliate so they will know there is

local support for the film.

Thank you. With your help, we look forward to a successful kickoff of

the TV broadcast of UNDER OUR SKIN during Lyme Disease Awareness Month.

Sincerely,

The UNDER OUR SKIN
