I believe that our first priority is the first Ammendment.
The truth will never get out if the attacks on reporters who question the new reich are not stopped.

Bushwad's strategy from the beginning has been simple. Keep hammering the public with fucked up ideas and initiatives and it will divide those who are paying attention.

That is because a collective effort behind 1 cause is much greater than splitting the progressives into 100 groups, each looking out for their specific area of concern.

Some general categories:

Social security
The war in Afganistan
The war in Iraq
The pending war in Iran
Larceny by conversion - Using wars and taxpayer $ to enrich a few
The looming trade war
The growing deficit
The robbing of worthwhile social programs
Election fraud in 2000 and 2004
Redistricting voter precincts
The creation of a Theocratic Society
Legalizing discrimination
The blight of Christian Fascism
The sales of America to China through Government spending.
Using homeland security to create the new American STAZI
Political hijacking of religion
The appointment of Fascist Judges
The ongoing attack on the media

And these are only a few off the top of my head.
They have been forcing changes so fast that there is no time to respond to any of them. It was a bum's rush for the whitehouse, and now the bum's rush for America's wealth continues.

I believe these stories would be reported if the whitehouse did not threaten and manipulate the news media.

4. Yes. Founding Fathers.
Didn't mean to be cute. I thought that was kind of a standard here. Perhaps not...

3. Hush.
Just kidding. I totally agree with you.

I think Franklin, and maybe some of the other FF's operated print shops and/or newspapers. They were the MSM (main stream media) of their age.

A problem we face now is that the MSM is owned and controlled by a few corporations with similar agendas. And contrary to the liberal media meme, they are anything but liberal. They have effectively blocked 50% of the population from getting any message out through those media sources. I've been startled by the nearly complete media blackout of the vote fraud controversy.

Internet blogs are excellent, However, they are not mainstream, and it's hard for them to communicate a single message as the MSM can.
