I cannot comprehend how the media is allowed to propagate the lies of Bush.

I notice that when a station shows the views of one party they must give equal time to the opposing view.

Why don't we hold the media accountable for their published lies which are propaganda for the recruds?

Would it be possible to start a class action suit by citizens. If we did nothing but donate $10 a piece to defray the costs of a lawsuit -- I am sure that things would change.

It just seems boycotts don't work because actually many of these stations are supported by big business or the republican party themselves.

I do not wish to sound as if I know of an alternative but my common sense tells me that if we could get a group of lawyers fired up as they were against the tobacco industry -- then the sh** would hit the fan and people wake up from their reverie.

Our nation is in trouble. This last crap about us being invaded by terrorists is the lates example of how they scare people in to thinking they must not rebel. We need to rebel -- we need a revolution -- a bloodless revolution -- a revolution where people understand they have to get involved.

But it seems we don't have people of this caliber any longer. Have we all become too refined?

Civil rights of citizens need to be preserved. If our rights are eroded, then the terrorists will have won.

Preservation of reproductive choice is vital for women.

Extreme religious views are being used to subjugate women all over the world. This should not happen here.
