Operation press pack

This idea originated with Aaron Saxton's "call to arms" in this forum thread

"Lets get everything we have ever shouted through a megaphone into a nice, neat, professional, "press pack" and spam the world with it. But nothing about longcat."

Also, while information will inevitably be international, ANZO (Australia, New Zealand and Oceania) - and particularly Australia-related information is needed. After all, getting a federal senate inquiry in Australia is a huge focus, with Senator Xenophon planning to continue his push for an inquiry, when parliament reconvenes in February 2010.

= Press Pack Idea = From this post:

We need a "press pack" to counter the report on Anonymous, produced by the Church of Scientology. This needs to be professional and must steer away from anything we cannot substantiate with evidence. Let's avoid accusations of “religious persecution” by concentrating on abuses and crimes. The primary focus will be abuses within the Sea Org. The Sea Org is the best target because of its flagrant disregard towards laws, across the nations in which it operates.

Ideally the "press pack" should be in .pdf form so we can email it to all corners of the universe and distribute hard-copies to relevant parties, en masse.

Guiding Principles
1. To inoculate politicians against Church of Scientology disinformation. Let them know the tactics Church of Scientology will use to sway, compromise and smear politicians.

2. To prompt idealistic politicians to be outraged at Scientology's outrageous behavior and persuade them to act for the good of their communities.

3. To prompt pragmatic politicians to understand: "COS" has lost the public. People who learn about these crimes and abuses, occurring under the banner of "religion freedom" are disturbed, disgusted and outraged. If politicians do nothing, voters are going to react accordingly come election time.

4. To prompt politicians to see the need for immediate local action to protect their communities. There is a historic pattern to the abuse that continues to this day, everywhere the cult insinuates itself.
