RandyW Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 The whole Oprah thing weighs on my mind for some strange reason I do not know why though. YOu know about having someone appear on her show to educate Public and advocate some what. Oprah Show Link http://www2.oprah.com/index_du.jhtml What about Suzanne Pleshette in a sit down with Oprah? TOLD YOU IT WAS CRAZY Also Did any one know that Rachel Rays New show is sponsored By Harpo Productions Things that make you go IT IS CRAZY ALLRIGHT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 It's not crazy--many of us have written to Oprah several times. Back with Peter jennings, again with Dana Reeeve. And both times when they were diagnosed and again when they died. I personally found myself a little angry with her. she had Dana Reeve on after Christopher Reeve died, and then I never saw another show after Dana's diagnosis or death. I wrote to Oprah and she didn't call me back And I write such nice letters too But go ahead Randy--give it your best shot gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastLadi Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Randy, I think it would be great, especially since Nov. is lc awareness month. I think more of us need to write to Oprah and tell her our personal stories, and frustrations. Grace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsC1210 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Randy As you are aware I am on a letter writing tirade (re: my posts in the LC News forum) If I can help, YELL.... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ursol Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Randy, I will write to Oprah and I think the rest of us need to write as well. Maybe if she gets enough letters, she may very well feel compelled to do a story on us. Lilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twodogs Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I don't think the Oprah idea is crazy at all. That's where the viewers are and that's where the action starts. We just need to get her attention. If we could find an advocate like Katie Couric, or Bill O'Reilly or anyone else of their stature we could use them to get Oprah's attention. Imagine the lead-in "Oprah Disses Cancer Concerns". This is an everybody problem but it's getting to be an increasing women's concern and, as we know, not all tobacco related. That said, whither now, friends?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaze100 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Who ever it is...their network can't have sponsors like Phillip Morris which makes all kinds of products besides tobacco. This leaves the big three networks out. Even "Dr. Drew" is afraid to tackle lung cancer other than to group smoking as a "bad habit". Now, the only one I can think that might rock the boat over lung cancer is Katie C. at CBS or maybe Anderson Cooper or maybe Larry King.
