Picketing The Press For Fair Coverage
About the Author
This group is for Democratic activists who are tired of biased news and editorial coverage by Republican-controlled media outlets. Your local newspaper, talk radio station or television station should cover fairly both major Parties and not slant news coverage. We should not be locked out of editorial pages. There are more Democrats than Republicans but you could never tell that by reading many local newspapers. From the Washington Times to the Cecil Whig (Maryland), Democrats are not getting equal time or basic journalistic fairness. We need to picket the Press, pressure advertisers, challenge FCC licenses and more to demand real journalism and political equality. Remember how Fox News and Sinclair Broadcasting tries to pollute the American democratic process with biased news coverage.

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all. Please be seated. Thank you, Colonel. Thanks for the hospitality and kind introduction. I'm proud to be with the men and women of the Air Force, the Navy, the Marines, the Army and the Coast Guard. Thanks for serving. Thanks for wearing the uniform of the United States of America.
I'm proud to be back here in the great state of South Carolina. I'm proud to be with some of the Palmetto State's finest citizens. I'm glad to be eating lunch with you. The food is pretty good, Colonel. (Laughter.) I always like a good barbecue.
I also am proud to be with the military families. You know, our troops are obviously engaged in a tough struggle, tough fight, a fight that I think is noble and necessary for our peace. And so are our families. Our military families endure the separations. They Read More »
Lately McCain has been yelling that Obama was wrong about opposing the surge. I don't agree with this premise, but for the sake of argument, let's say it's true. Well lets ask these questions.
Was McCain right about Iraq stockpiling WMDs?
Was McCain right about Iraq involvement in 9-11?
Was McCain right about our being welcomed as liberators?
Was McCain right about "Mission Accomplished"?
Was McCain right about the Iraq War impacting the fight in Afghanistan?
Was McCain right about the Iraq War becoming a quagmire?
Was McCain right about the Iraq War becoming a half-trillion dollar debt for our children to pay?
How many more matters regarding the Iraq War has McCain been wrong?

Just as I suspected, when I called him President Obama-- you forgot he's not been elected, yet! fistbump caught it, after I gave a hint.
HE'S PLANNING TO SEND THE NATIONAL GUARD FROM IRAQ GRADUALLY TO AFGHANISTAN. I PLANNED TO SEND EM HOME, BUT I AM NOT PRESIDENT! WHOOPS!
I USED TO WALK UP ASMALLER ROW OF STEPS FOR EIGHT YEARS, BUT, AS A GIRL I BELIEVED IN EDUCATION, CHANGING MYSELF AND THE WORLD. EDUCATION WAS NOT A "TOTAL" SAVIOUR, BUT AN "OFTEN "SAVIOR. WHEN I SEE YOUTH HELPING, WHO, I WOULDN'T BLAME THEM FOR JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE ADOLENCE, I FEEL GOOD ABOUT EDUCATION. THE WORLD.

Three Questions for Mc Cain:
1. WHEN did you win a war? Viet Nam wasn't a declared war, we did NOT win there and YOU can not single handed-ly or backhandedly win a war.
2. What do you win in a war? A trip to Disneyland?
3. Who in the hell advises you on this war rhetoric?
4. Do you think leaking BO's name to the terrorist enemy will help win the war? Is that your war strategy? Will it cost tax payers more money if BO were to become a casualty, or a POW?
5. What is a uranium gas enrichment centrifuge and what is it used for? Ask lil B.

Speaker Pelosi called Bush a "total failure". That's really good news. That is exactly what Bush is ... a total failure. It's probably the best depiction of Bush since an aide to Canadian Prime Minister Cretien called Bush a "moron".
So what if the AP article's reporter seems indignant that Pelosi would do such a thing. When Clinton was President, he was the victim of abuse by right wing Congressmen on a daily basis. Was the AP ever indignant about that? The bias of AP became clear when its President told Karl Rove, the biggest felon to ever hold government office, to "hang in there".
Why the hell should Bush be treated with such high respect? Because he's a right wing ideologue, and Sean Hannity and other right wing ideologues will have their feelings hurt? Bush and his right wing ideologue cronies have done enough damage to our once great nation. To talk about them in blunt terms is the least we can do. To brand them as the criminals that they are ... is what we ought to do. To sit and be silent is what I will not do ... and you should not do either.

Who has seen this article? Who knows about it? I was lucky to spot it buried in the back pages of the New York Times. It involves a shocking episode of the erosion of our constitution by the right wing junta that has taken over our government.
Court Backs Bush on Military Detentions
My repost was the truth:
http://www.democrats.org/page/community/post/michellepernula/CtKs
John Edwards released the following statement today on President George Bush's remarks on the economy:
"Now that George Bush has finally joined the call for an economic stimulus package, the time for debate and delay is over. American families cannot wait any longer for swift and decisive action. After years of stagnant wages, the economy may be slipping into a recession and if we don't act now we may make our problems worse.
"The economic damage done by Bush and Cheney is deep and long-lasting, and the temporary tax cuts he proposes will not solve it alone. Making matters worse, his plan provides little or no help to some 50 million low-income and middle class families.
"To help middle class families get ahead over the long haul, we need to invest in a clean energy infrastructure that will create jobs now and pay Read More »

Iraqi nationalism is making it harder for the administration to keep our troops in Iraq past Dec.'08.
Please urge your senators to require congressional approval for any agreement... We can't hamstring Sen. Obama before he is even sworn in as president... Our senate can't be allowed to leave any more of a mess for Barack.
God knows he will have enough to do.
Thanks to anyone who sent an email.
I read today that some of our representatives are rethinking the sanctions/blockade strategy.
We have a voice... if we use it for good, we help our country and ourselves.
peace to you,
marsha

This is a site is great, it shows the territories in North America that we could extract oil (Alberta, Canada, Montana, Alaska...
Maps and information are great. One map demonstrates the size of Alaska (twice the size of Texas) and it overlays Alaska atop the map, then demonstrates the small upper northeastern corner of Alaska that could be drilled.

* Photo Gallery (http://www.anwr.org/Latest-News/Photo-Gallery.php)
* Alaska Division of Oil and Gas (http://www.dog.dnr.state.ak.us/oil/)
This is a great source of information, so become informed about oil production and resources related to oil production in the North American Continent.
The largest offshore drilling in North America, where there are over 4,000 offshore drills is in the Gulf of Mexico.
