FCC Complaints on FoxNews

We can stop the misinformation and reduce the risk to our democracy with one simple step.

We complain to the FCC about FoxNews lies, misinformation and hate speech.

FCC Complaint:
You must fill out a form ( of course)
You must be very specific: The date, time, channel and exactly what was claimed that is false.

This link is a good, basic guide to get started.

It's our airwaves; meaning the wavelength frequencies that TV, radio & internet use. We 'lease' every frequency to media.
We can prevent bad ones from getting a lease and prevent them from sending anything using frequencies; TV, Cable, Radio, Microwave, Laser, etc.

We can stop misinformation from the general methods used to promote propaganda and lies.

I know it's a hard path to follow, and follow through on...but it is one that will actually work.

Where are GOP deserters?

POTUS 45 was an abject disaster and failure for most Republicans.
It's similar to what Nixon caused the party with Watergate.

In 1973, there was a large number of Republicans who left the GOP. They had principles and stood by them.
There doesn't seem to be any this time the party failed it's membership.

Anyone have any idea as to why we are seeing elected Republicans not deserting the party?

Loyalty to Trump can't be the only reason.

Trumpies start a new political party?

The GOP failed Trump and his minions. They are the 'all or nothing' type of voter.

The Trumpies could start thier own political party.

The Dems got started when the Whigs wigged out.
The GOP got started when no party supported abolition.


So why not let the fringe far right start thier own party?

If they can figure out how to play within the Federal & State Election rules & procedures, and that is a big "if".

Wisc Recount: Must be pre-paid to start

If Trump actually gets a recount of the Wisconsin election, he will have to pre-pay the entire estimated cost, before it can start.
That is estimated to be $3,000,000.00

It would be the first time Trump has actually paid a bill, in full.

Start registering young voters today

Time to get going for the future.
Start helping voter registration drives for young voters, as it's time they took over.
Young Non-White Voters
Young Women Voters
Young Rural Voters

Once they take over, voting will be cleaned up and nationalized into a clean, simple, all-access voting.....I hope we can vote with our smartphones, which we can, today, spend millions with in one finger touch, safe & secure. Voting can easily follow the financial lead using devices.

BUT IT'S YOUNG PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO MAKE THAT CHANGE HAPPEN.

Get going on the ground game.
Almost every state will have sping elections in just a few months. Wisconsin votes on Feb 16, 2021...that's only three months!
...judges, school fundings, referendums, local offices will be at stake.

Green Bay adds to Biden lead 6:08am

The city of Green Bay is reporting same day results, which bumps Biden up to an 11,000 vote lead, statewide.
Absentee results for Green Bay still coming in.
The City had a massive 89% voter turnout, which is phenominal.

Green Bay Absentee Is the Key

Green Bay & Kenosha absentee votes are the key to who wins Wisconsin.
As of 6am, we don't know.
Green Bay had a voter turnout of 84%, which is astounding.

We can hope, but Brown County (Green Bay) is quite red, with the Congressional and State race results going red.

Election Results aren't a burger drive thru

Remember folks, every ballot needs to be counted and that will take time.

The election results are not like getting a burger in a drive thru in five minutes. Try ordering 150,000,000 burgers and see how long it takes.

The official due date for all states is in mid-December when every state must report to Congress, it's electoral college and popular vote totals. That is the official deadline for the Nov 3rd election. One election, in the later 1800's was decided three days before inaguration and the nation didn't crumble. It went on, just like we planned it should. We will again in 2020.

The paper trail will win the day and the election. We want accurate results. We will eventually find out.

Be patient... Most election officials are volunteer citizens, and they will count every single ballot.
Be inspired... that so many citizens are voting, and hope that this will continue in the future.
Be proud... that we do this unique method of self-governance.

Fox News Jet Infects CEO & Main Reporters

"...FoxNews network President Jay Wallace, The Five hosts Dana Perino and Juan Williams, chief political anchor Bret Baier and The Story anchor Martha MacCallum were on a charter flight from Nashville to New York with the infected person on Thursday."
A 14-day quarantine is now imposed on these five reporters.

With one week left in the campaign, FoxNews just lost it's main reporters and the network's CEO to a not-so-hoaxy virus.

Knowing how careful any flight crew is, with all safety protocols, I doubt if the flight crew is the source. The infected person had to have been exposed well before the debate as incubation takes at least two days to become contagious.

Send your favorite FoxNews celebs a bar of soap?
