Please review the contents of this email and consider using it as a template - all or in part - when you help LRT by sending out similar notices along with the newsletter to people you feel might benefit by associating with us and utilizing the tools we offer. If we together are going to truly deliver positive results in reducing vet suicide or abolishing their debt and through the many other solutions we uncover - we can't do it alone. We need your help.
----------------------------------------
Hello again.
I am in the process of taking my profoundly fortunate experience of being in the right place, at the right time, and having the right tools to co-found the enormously successful 501(c)(3) charity RIP Medical Debt (RIP) and putting the lessons I learned there to work for others. (If you haven’t already heard of RIP, over the past nine years it has received enough in donations to be able to purchase and forgive $8 billion in unpayable medical debt for over 5.5 million Americans.)
?The truth is, if we hadn’t been able to raise an equivalent amount of awareness of our work we never would have achieved those results. If they don’t know about you, they can’t do anything about you. It took a mention by John Oliver in a skit he was doing on Last Week Tonight and a very brief snapshot of our logo to catch the attention of his audience. Where once we struggled for money and media attention, we are enjoying an abundance of both to this day.
I can’t say that my application of awareness-raising through Let’s Rethink This (LRT) will do for others what John Oliver did for RIP, but I can say that LRT has cracked the code. Now, we are looking to partner with like-minded organizations or individuals who have the time, desire and resources to seek a larger audience.
?By way of our February newsletter below, let me introduce Rethinking Heroes (RH) to you as our most recent “Impact Awareness” tool. We feel that anyone appearing as an interview subject on public radio or serving as a co-producer of this?veteran-centric showcase and the campaign it supports: Veteran Mission Possible could benefit.
?Interested? Let’s talk. I am available by Zoom tomorrow or Thursday.
?Jerry

Listen Live to KPFK Rethinking Heroes?caused quite a stir when it aired?Episode 23-03 with USS Liberty survivor Phil Tourney . Here are some of what listeners have been writing in:
I am writing to you on behalf of the USS Liberty Veterans. I and my colleagues are in full support of having their voices heard on your radio program.
Thanks for letting me get the word out one more time and for discovering your amazing radio station. Talking about it helps me to find closure even after 56 years.
I am hoping your station will keep doing this great work.
I am extremely interested in matters pertaining to vets & your recent broadcast on the U.S.S. Liberty.
