The Media isn't going to sway this election...
WE ARE!

Let's face it... we're not going to shut down the right wing media in 3 months. With all the control they have already Bush is still in trouble. We cannot expect the media to inform those who can be swayed. WE MUST take this to task.

We have to quit complaining about them and not let them distract us from what we need to do to overcome them. Turn off those freaking cable news channels and get the truth out to everyone you can - we see posts here all the time of people finally getting it.. we can do it. If you can donate to the Kerry/Edwards campaign to help air commercials - do it.

If you can volunteer in your local area - do it.


At the very least pass along the truth in emails to those you know and jump into conversations when you can.

Hope is on the way my friends... we just need to pave the path to get it here!

4. That's DAMN right
although I have mixed feelings since I am glad someone's checking out what they are saying, but let's say we just have one or two people PER day! LOL!

The rest of us? CSPAN all the way!

For the record, I never turn on MSNBC, CNN or Faux. I hate all of it. Normally don't even watch CSPAN but the convention's different!

7. In the mean time, you should watch CBS/NBC/PBS evening news....
C-Span, use the Internet, and listen to Air America.

12. Are you joking?
It's statements like that that make us look like idiots. The man is a murderer of his own people. While none of us like how he was deposed, putting him back in charge at this point is the most insane thing I've ever heard.

And boy, wouldn't those who lost their loved ones love to hear that solution? Vote for Kerry. He'll return Saddam to power, never mind our lost soldiers, promise of democracy, our spent $200 billion.
