How do we do that?
A. Put pressure on the media outlets to get the information out about going to volunteer for the search for Caylee... EMAIL sites like Fox news, CNN, MSNBC, local affiliates with the request they ask for volunteers.
As an aside, I'm not sure if they should stress TES isn't taking sides in this matter, they are just trying to find Caylee with the resources they have... this is a little different thing for TES... on the one side you have the Anthony family thinking she's alive and on the other side you have LE providing possible search sites... not sure how to communicate that?
B. Post at any message board we think might get volunteers out to help ... the motorcycle groups was a GREAT suggestion, so is any hiking/climbing/adventure groups in Orlando, or volunter fire departments, or churches, or any other LOCAL community group you can think of that might be willing to go out and help search.
A general (message board) statement like (edit as you see fit)-
Texas EquuSearch (TES) is now involved in the search for Caylee Marie Anthony. This is an amazing non-profit group made possible by volunteers like YOU. As you will recall, this is the group that worked tirelessly and spent $10,000s of dollars searching for Natalie Holloway. They have searched for countless other missing people, many of whom have been found by this amazing group. For more information about this organization and the searches they have been involved in, please visit http://www.texasequusearch.org/
If you would like to volunteer to search for Caylee Marie Anthony, please follow these instructions...
Any volunteers for the search on Caylee Anthony can meet at the command center located at: 5750 TG Lee Blvd., Orlando, FL. The rear parking lot behind the Holiday Inn. Time to show is 8:00am (or a second round of volunteers may be sent out at 12:00pm). All volunteers must bring a photo ID and fill out a volunteer form.
Please note, you MAY be searching in non-favorable conditions (marsh land, tall grass, or hot and humid conditions). Having bug spray, a water bottle, snack bars, and long sleeve pants/shirt/boots available is advisable. Also, they are requesting that you keep any information you may be informed of confidential.
Thank you for your help and support!

I love the way you word this! I did contact NG and Greta today to ask them to post or mention the need for volunteers. Tim was on NG, but he didn't even mention that they need or want more volunteers!!! I haven't had a chance to watch Greta yet, but she has been all about the RNC lately. I also contacted the Orlando Sentinel and left a message with my name and phone number(so she hopefully won't think I'm a quack), requesting that in her next article about the Anthony's, she mention the need for volunteers to help in the search. Again, I think Tim asking would have more creedence than my request, but I still did it.
I also posted on a very large website that I belong to called Splitcoast Stampers. They have a current events section and alot of the women (mostly, but they do have a few men) were talking about the case. So, I have started a thread with a request for people to help. I already chatted with one girl, who went out yesterday and today to help. I told her to ask around for the WSers! Because I knew several of you all were out searching also!!! (loved the picture, it must have been before the search, because you look too clean to be after the search;0)
I have also posted to all of the above samples of items needed for the volunteers, like bug spray, soda, garbage bags, ect. There were some excellent suggestions tonight for items needed! Are they allowing people to bring their ATV's if they have one??? BUT again, I do believe that Casey would not have carried Caylee too far. Maybe 50-60 feet at most from either side of the road or path that she was on.
