On Wednesday, a large group of Republican activists (and other concerned citizens on Twitter) is organizing a Tweet-4-Truth campaign surrounding Obama’s Prescription for America infomercial on ABC.


Since ABC execs and staff will not talk to the RNC about Wednesday night’s programming (or to any other opposing entity for that matter),  Republicans are taking their message to Twitter in an effort to get as many people as possible to tweet the truth behind Obama’s health care reform policies.


This is exactly what the right should be doing in its efforts to circumvent the mainstream media's obvious bias & I encourage you to get involved, even before Wednesday’s spectacle – the sooner the better.


Tweet-4-Truth on Facebook:
This Facebook group, Tweet4Truth – Fact Checking “News” Media Run Amok, was created last week to serve as a virtual space to store data and pre-load information in order to arm these activists on Twitter with the facts they need. According to Facebook, activists who get involved online have the opportunity to:

De-Spin ABC "News" and their Obamerical. Watch ABC, de-spin the mistruths, Tweet the de-spins and post them on Facebook. We will be heard!!

ABC is done pretending to care about balance. On 6/24, they turn the airwaves over to President Obama to sell his government takeover of your health care choices. ABC has refused to have the other side heard---literally, refused to do that saying they will provide the balance.

We will be heard.

To date, the group already has 329 activists who have committed to getting the GOP message out online.


Tweet4Truth on Twitter:

Anyone who has a Twitter account can use the hash tag #obamercial when tweeting about the event – so that the tag starts to rise in the Twitter trending topics on Wednesday and reaches more people online.


Twitter activists are encouraged to At Reply @jaketapper & @david_westin (ABC execs on Twitter) – so that the conversation is a part of those folks’ feed as well.


The Goal:
Live-time fact checking, online, so that viewers can easily get the other side of the story.

Happy Tweet-4-Truth-ing.
