Hi everyone.
We are constantly getting email requests from the media asking for LGC members who might be willing to share their story. In the past I have known pretty much all the members and was able to quickly pick a few to email and ask if they were interested in talking to the media. However, my duties have shifted away from being a presence on the board and I know few of the new guys. Also, having to email every person every time to ask if they are interested and then emailing the interviewer back the contact information slows down the whole process to a crawl - causing us to miss some interesting media opportunities
So, I have created a quick and dirty form. If you would like to be available to talk to the media as a liberal who owns guns, take a few minutes to give me your name (as much of it as you are willing to share, or even just your "handle"), contact info and a quick blurb. Put as little or as much info on this form as you are comfortable with. In the "comments" section please put anything about yourself that you think a reporter might be interested in (for example: "lifetime NRA member", "LEO") and anything they might want to know about you before talking (for example: "will only speak on condition of anonymity", "willing to email but no phone", "only willing to talk about the club, not about politics", etc). We will make our best efforts to pre-screen all media and try to confirm their credentials. We will also only share info if we think you might fit the type of person they are after. Thanks!
The form can be found here:
