08/25/08 Rookie blogger didn't know that Himes press releases shouldn't be posted on the internet. Undecided voters should not have access to releases

Jim Himes: "We've got to keep the momentum going!!!!"

Undecided Voters Can't Handle The Truth.

Conservative Media Outlets Like The Greenwich Time

Must Filter The Information For Them.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the coverage!

I've noticed you've recently been posting Himes campaign media
advisories and press releases in their entirety to Greenwich Roundup.

I thought you should know that as a general rule, we consider
advisories about press events are for press only and we'd appreciate
it if you didn't publish such advisories on your site. Also, the phone
number at the top of all of our releases is our Communications
Director's personal cell phone, which we'd also appreciate not being
published on blogs.

I hope you can respect these two minor requests going forward. Feel
free to let me know if you ever need anything, and we'll be sure to
keep you informed.

Thanks!

Charles Monaco

Sorry, Charles I didn't know that press releases were supposed to be kept from the public and are not to be published on the internet in their entirety.

However, you had better send a copy of this email to your webmaster and tell him to take down the press releases from the front page of the Jim Himes website.

Greenwich Roundup will honor the Charles Monaco's request not publish anymore press releases from Jim Himes.

However, we only ask that Himes Campaign not get mad if Chris Shay's starts sending us press releases to Greenwich Roundup.

We have sent three requests over the last couple of months inviting Mr. Shays to send his press releases to GreenwichRoundup@gmail.com

I guess the Christopher Shay's campaign was also afraid that we would pass along their press releases without any comment or editorializing what-so-ever.

Greenwich Roundup is just like the Greenwich "Home Of The Press Releases" Post we will publish your press release without any editing, if you send your press release to GreenwichRoundup@gmail.com

We provide this service as a community service designed to help keep Greenwich residents fully informed.

Just because a person or group sends out a press release doesn't mean that the mainstream media will notify the public.

I have just been advised that the problem is not so much with the publishing the press releases, but with the publishing of "Media Advisories" that give out a canidates itenary and media plans.

Aparently, Christopher Shays is up to somekind of dirty tricks and believe it or not he personally disrupted a Jim Himes media event.

Is Chris Shays going off the deep end?

Yesterday he says he is supporting Obama and now today he is causing public disturbances at his oppents campian rallies.
