More "new-old" photos up.... since the ACM awards were on tonight, and they don't seem to remember our girl is the cream of the crop, we watched the old awards, when Patty was crowned Female Vocalist two years in a row. Some "new" photos have been added to a few ACM galleries....



You'll find a few new additions in...

The Virtual Race for DRIVE4COPD between Patty & Danica Patrick kicks off tomorrow, April 19th. The race will continue until May 2nd. For the overall campaign, Patty currently has almost 22,000 screeners, with a 4,000+ lead. We want her to stay in the top spot!

We need everyone's support to help Patty win the race, and to help the goal of screening 1 million people in 2010.

During the course of the virtual race, they will have tweets to encourage screeners. If you're on twitter, you can re-tweet these tweets. New, and don't know how to re-tweet? Click here for a crash course.

You can also tweet daily reminders to all your followers! Include Patty's name and the campaign name, and it helps to include "#4COPD" on your tweets, to help make that a trending topic....Not sure how to put all this in 140 characters or less? Example's of PLN's reminders are:

Remember to visit www.drive4copd.com #4COPD and take the 5 question screener! At the end, help Patty Loveless out and cast a vote for her!

Daily Reminder! Please help Patty Loveless screen as many people as possible #4COPD .. She's nearing the 10,000 mark! www.drive4copd.com

Patty Loveless is still fighting #4COPD! She is nearing 9,000 screeners- incredible! Be sure to screen & VOTE for her! www.drive4copd.com

Be sure to follow @plnet, @drive4copd, & @loveless4copd.

If you're not on twitter but use networking sites like Facebook, you can still use the reminders to post on your status update, and you can post the link directly onto your facebook wall for COPD's website.

Be sure to send the link to all your friends- you can plug the link or you can use Drive4COPD's email a friend function.

Not all of your local radio stations are running the radio Drive4COPD PSA, so putting a call into your local DJ's to get them to plug the campaign before/after they play PL (so beg them to play her) will be helpful! If you listen in online, most of your stations will have emails listed for each DJ, along with their air times. Don't spam the stations, keep it short & simple, and only request when you're actually going to listen in for a little while.

Drive4COPD currently has Bruce Jenner & Michael Strahan in the middle of a "Virtual Race" to see who can get the most screeners, using their twitter, facebook, etc.

Next week will kick off a new virtual race, which will be between Patty and Danica Patrick. We've already got Patty winning the entire race overall, so we need to bump it up a notch and keep her there, and help her win the virtual race as well.

Once the virtual race kicks off, be sure to help Patty get as many screeners as possible! This is the perfect time to use your twitter, facebook, myspace- and any other social networking site you belong to.

If you're not following Patty on twitter for the COPD campaign, follow her @loveless4copd. Retweet all of the tweets next week on the account so it reaches all of your followers as well! You can follow PLN's twitter @plnet to retweet our daily reminders!

And, when you tweet reminders, please use the phrase Patty Loveless and not just Patty- so she'll pull up in a twitter search!

Mountain Stage has added Patty's March 21st performance to the radio line up. The program is fed via satellite on Fridays, so the "week following" runs from Friday to the following Friday. Stations have rights to air the program for 10 days following the feed. Each station chooses the time for airing Mountain Stage, and changes occur. Call your station to confirm your air time. After it airs, it will also be in the archives.
