Thank you to everyone who has shared the “Some Party That I Used To Know” video with their family, friends, and fellow citizens through email, Facebook, and Twitter.

The response has been great! Here are some highlights:

YouTube View Count:
10, 248 (Views on YouTube in One Week)

Column: Calgary Herald
“Cooper: Redford’s government is no longer taken seriously”
“A recent example was an April 10 YouTube video parody, Some Party that I used to  Know, based on the Gotye megahit of last summer. It was put together by Amanda  Achtman (and yes, she is one of my students). It is very funny.”

Television: Sun News
“Some Party That I Used to Know”
“Mazal Tov!” – Ezra Levant

Column: CBC News
“Premier Alison Redford shrugs off negative poll results”
“‘One surprise about having posted the video is that some people say, ‘Oh this song it’s overdone. That song is so 2012,’ she said. ‘Well our government is so 1971. The idea is that this has come and gone and that’s why the song is a perfect fit.’ Achtman says the point of the video is to engage the public in a political conversation.”

Radio: News Talk 770 with Angela Kokott (On April 11th and 12th)
“Political Song pokes fun at Tory dynasty”

Blog: Amanda Achtman
PCs = Political Censors – Amanda’s Twitter Account Suspended
(Record 850 views on amandaaction.com)
“We know the Progressive Conservatives don’t handle dissent very well. Yesterday, the last tweet I read before going to sleep said: ‘@AmandaAchtman stop spamming people.’ The next morning, my twitter account had been suspended.”

Blog: Up Close and Personal with Jane
“Alberta PCs: Some Party That I Used To Know”
“While I was only a member of the PC party for three weeks; I have many friends who are still hanging in there hoping for “change from within”.  For those who have left, I think Amanda has captured how they now feel.”

Blog: Troy Wason: Calgary VP, PC Association of Alberta
“The Evolution of the PC Association of Alberta”
“This post was written as a response to a video posting on YouTube suggesting that somehow the PCAA has deviated from it’s intended mission as a static political entity and has left behind it’s members.”

Blog: Cory Morgan ranting and raving: Political and Personal
“The Power of Social Media.”
“The foolish effort above [suspension of Amanda’s twitter account] of course then turned Achtman into an online grassroots martyr leading to radio and television coverage of the video. At times I swear the Redford gang will cross a street just to purposely step into a pile of dog crap.”

Blog: Joe Albertan
“Message received”
“Well done Amanda, the message was received loud and clear, probably louder than they wanted it to be.”
