Patricia.

The twitter thing is taken care of. I should have disclosed it in my previous message, but The Daily Bail is my site. I am the founder and publisher. As you read in the story about 140,000 people have come to see that video...it is averaging about 8,000 views per day from emailed links and links people have posted all around the web.

It's been incredibly viral, which is EXACTLY what we need. I hope everyone keeps it up and continues emailing to their friends. I don't run ADs on the site so I make no money from the traffic. I just want to build public awareness. And in that vein, I appreciate your help. I write all kinds of stories and post tons of videos there every day that people on SI would like, but I don't post links here on SI out of fear of spamming.

As Calculated Risk knows however, (and I hope he didn't mind) I used to post some of my links on his board in our first 2 months to help get the word out. Thanks CR if you're reading.

But I've been a member of SI since 1998, so I've been around a long time and the website was just something I launched in January. It's doing pretty well though. We will do approx. 1.2 million page views this month, so that means we are reaching a lot of people. Mish's site does 1.5 million page views per month so that will give you some perspective.

Anyway, thanks for spreading the word about this gut-wrenchingly awful video. We need for as many people as possible to become aware of this issue.
