President Obama cannot do it alone. He needs your help. Without it he will fail. And his failure means your ass is in a sling.

DUers, PLEASE go to media sites and start registering your contempt for Republican hypocrisy and use of economic terrorism to beat Democrats at the polls. The comments the media types see on their sites can make a difference in how the media report events. I know they are intimidated by the fascists but still, people can have an effect. Their are thousands of DUers. If we started hitting the media sites with meaningful rational comments, I can't imagine it wouldn't have an affect. The media keeps presenting the Tea Party like it is a movement for change. YOu and I know that's bullshit. They just want more REpublican policies which will fuck up our country economically, socially and weaken us. We can't afford to let that happen.

A very important factor in the GOP's success in bamboozling people (especially the "independents") is to get people to start using terms they (GOP) have defined. It's important that people who see through this post on media sites pointing out when the media use Republican Propaganda as if it's accepted fact.

For example, while the Media is constantly implying that Obama should have done better with repairing the economy they never report on how the GOP have been filibustering nearly everything the Democrats have been trying to do (most of it to fix the damage done by the Republicans). The M$M keep repeating "Why are Obama's/DEms attempts to fix the economy not working(while legitimate analyses by CBO adn Moody's to name two have shown that the stimulus has worked.. thought it would have worked better if it had been bigger)?"..even though economists have repeatedly said in a recession begun by a financial collapse as this one was, the economy does NOT come back as quickly. But M$M continues to forget that bit of information.

It is your future that hangs in the balance. Are you willing to fight for it? I hope you are. Please don't think somebody else will do it. It's up to YOU. Think of yourself as the last man standing in the battle to stop the fascists. You are called upon. It's up to you to save our democracy. Would you respond? Of course you would.

Here are some links to media sites. Note that USA Today gives you your own blog. You can post and edit your posts in your blog, meaning you can add material later. THus you can use your blog as a handy place to store links to good articles, studies etc. which you can refer to in your comments to articles. Your comments are kept track of by their system so you can go back to them and check for any responses to them that you might want to respond to.

...he's inviting interest groups to the table to work on policy.
