> Hi,
>
> Please go on to the Facebook site, and invite your friends to join us
> for the Authors Guild protest on Tuesday April 7.
>
> The basic steps to do this are as follows:
>
> 1.  First be sure you are signed in to the Facebook site;
> 2.  Click the link below which will take you to the NFB Authors Guild
> Protest event Facebook page;
> http://is.gd/p05d
>
> 3.  Enter your RSVP if you have not done so already.  I hope it will be
> Attending
> If for some reason you cannot access the event you can email me and I
> will invite you....I have not tested this in the case of soemone
> accessing the event for the first time;
>
> 4.  Press enter on or Click the link that says
> Invite People to Come
>
> 5.  You are now presented with a page or pages that list all your
> Facebook friends.  You click or press enter on each name to add them
> to the list of invited guests.  As you add people, it will say
> something like
> Selected (100)
> indicating that you have invited 100 people.
>
> 6.  There is an edit box where you can type a personal message that
> will accompany the invitation.  I would put something in about how the
> event would appeal to anyone interested in free access to books, fair
> use, etc. etc.  You can also encourage people to spread the word about
> the event.  I do think that this event has very broad appeal since
> anyone could use the text-to-speech feature.  Also positions held by
> organizations like the RIAA and Authors Guild are generally not
> supported by the public and especially students.
>
> 7.  Finally click the send Invitations button.
>
> We currently have about 228 invited guests and we would like to
> greatly expand this number, as we want a minimum of 500 people on the
> street in NYC on Tuesday April 7th!
>
> We should be able to get this initial invited guests number in the
> thousands if we all complete the above steps.
>
> Best,
> Mika
