Can we win when the media will NOT let our voice be heard?
I say yes, if we give up on cable media. They are bought and paid for and each day are increasingly partisan and no longer have news value.

Local organization and a determination to defeat the plague the Bush administration has visited upon us must be what we look for. Only massive voter registration and GOTV will beat these guys back.

Each attack they throw at Kerry must be answered by us all. Don't expect to see this on cable, give it up, it is NOT news but editorial political commentary and meant to exhaust the opposition (us) into giving up. Beating your head against the wall trying to get cable to be fair is a fools exercise, until we elect Kerry. Then we fight for re-enactment of the fairness doctrine with expansion to cable.

Maybe then we will be heard again.

3. I don't feel heard. Am I irrelevant?
Do we REALLY want to win this election?
