Michael Moore Sicko and HR 676

August 30, 2008 By Joe Hage 3 Comments

I’ve never written my state representative on my own. It’s time. (Click here for Senator Murray’s response and click here for Representative Jay Inslee’s response.)

Beth and I just watched Michael Moore’s Sicko. Have you seen this film about universal healthcare?

To be sure, Michael is a masterful storyteller. If even a fraction is true (see his “Truth Squad” with supporting documentation), we need to ask our representatives to pass HR 676 for Universal Healthcare.

Click here for Rep. Jim Inslee [WA 1st District]. Here’s a message you can copy and paste.

Representative Inslee, what is your position on HR 676?

I found Rep. Jim McDermott [WA-7] to be among the co-sponsors but not you.

Are you considering it? Please do. My family seeks your support.

My friend Colleen would have made a GREAT blog-o-spondent for Southwest Airlines.

We could’ve used the LUV. But I got a laugh out of her application video. Click here to watch it!

Build your digital imprint

August 23, 2008 By Joe Hage Leave a Comment

In “Why I keep a blog” I detailed the five reasons I’m here in cyberspace:

To learn, compete, help, entertain, and build credibility.

Building credibility

Through the power of social media, my digital imprint is taking on a life of its own. 24 people wrote a compliment about me on Biznik. And four wrote entire articles about me.

In “Social Media Training with Joe,” SEO expert Barry Hurd wrote, “Joe has … an extreme grasp of both tactical and strategic marketing … a sparkling resume … Joe is the ‘full meal deal’ when it comes to marketing strategy.”
In “Don’t spend a dime on marketing until you read this,” Professional Life and Business Coach Tshombe Brown wrote, “I just read two absolutely amazing articles by Marketing Genius Joe Hage … you will be blown away at how much value you’ll get from them.

It’s indulgent all right, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like the attention. [Read more...]

Historia de un letrero

A friend sent me this beautiful short film, “Historia de un letrero” (The story of a sign). It poignantly demonstrates the power of words.

The movie touched me. As did the comment in his email. “You have this gift,” he said.

Thank you. (After the video, click here for an ad I wrote/am particularly proud of.)

Joe, why do you keep a blog?

August 16, 2008 By Joe Hage Leave a Comment

I get this question surprisingly often.

“I don’t get it,” they start. “Why do you keep a blog? I thought you liked your job.”

“I do. Very much. I’m not looking.”

“Then why do you keep a blog?”

Why I blog

I blog for lots of reasons. [Read more...]
