This weekend's bird-dogging on HIV/AIDS and Single-Payer issues was
very successful. Our crew of 14, composed of ACT UP/NY & Philadelphia
members, Health GAP, PHIMG and Housing Works members went after
Edwards, Clinton, Huckabee, McCain, Guiliani, and others. Because of
the high media interest in the primary, asking questions
strategically was able to heighten the chances the candidate would
respond in front of crowds of hundreds or thousands in the audience,
reporters for papers, or in the case of Clinton townhall, the
viewership of CNN. CNN covered the Clinton townhall live for at least
part of it. We got newspaper coverage in the Manchester Union Leader
and other publications.
