When I tell people about PG, do you know which part of the story makes them the most angry and most likely to believe there is something going on? Laura Silsby. When I show them the proof, that she was arrested for trafficking children, and then I show them that she is now working for Amber Alert, they FREAK OUT. Parents trust Amber Alerts and finding out that a convicted child trafficker is now working for them? Not going to fly.

This story also works well because it is easy enough to prove. Lots of the other connections are harder to follow and require lots of reading and context. This story, on the other hand, takes a moment to verify. It's also something every parents cares about: we all worry our children might become lost or stolen for us, and Amber Alert is supposed to be a trusted resource.

Suggestion? Make a hashtag calling for Silsby to be fired. Don't mention pizzagate. Make a clear picture stating who she is and what she does, and share the hell out of it. Make it non-partisan (don't mention Clinton because then they will dismiss it as 'right wing'. They can figure that part out themselves when they verify it), don't include any frogs or cuss words or slurs. I'm not creative enough to know what the hashtag should be, but if done right, it will be like DraftOurDaughters or SpiritCooking, two successful hashtag campaigns.

This hashtag would attract stay at home moms and church goes, two demographics that are actually very good at getting companies and news organizations to act.

"but but but... .the children just wanted a better life elsewhere and Laura was kind to have trafficked them away from a bad living, she CARED". That's the response I get. Ugh. Podesta's artwork pieces though, that usually makes people uncomfortable in my experience. Particularly the ones with the children that look spanked and abused.

Didn't the Haitian police say the kids were stolen? If this can be confirmed, provide the info up front to block off the excuse before it comes to mind.
