"We Have The Power" the media stabs the point home!

[jansu]

The media that was following Dean around, gave him a T-Shirt, the day he gave the news conference stating that he was not actively campaigning, which stated:

ESTABLISHMENT MEDIA (on the front)
WE HAVE THE POWER (on the back).

Sad, but true!

In 2003 Dean received 49% favorable reporting to all other Candidates receiving 78% favorable reporting. He still was ahead in the polls by over 20 points. He then told Chris Matthews that he would take back the media for the American people. Right after that, he started getting really bad press, everywhere. He dropped fast.

Many of DUer's are wondering why we won't rollover & just jump on someone else's bandwagon.

We feel that this has not been a fair process. But, most importantly, none of the other Candidates hold the same beliefs and positions that we have.

Also, Gov. Dean has asked us to continue to vote for him, because he has not withdrawn from this race. 75% of the delegates have not been won. Dean is in second place in the delegate count. The more he receives, the more his and our values will have a voice at the Convention and in the party platform.

Tell me, why should we give our power up, to support someone who's positions and votes we don't support?

This is the Primary, not the General Election! We can and must vote our conscious NOW! Later, we can vote for whomever the rest of the Democrats have chosen!

Stay with Dean and fight for all the delegates you can give him! After the Convention, fight for the Democratic Nominee with all your might, because we MUST remove Bush and his gang from power!

In the Primary, VOTE YOUR CHOICE, NOT THE POLLS!
In the General Election, VOTE ABB!

Until after the Convention, all voices must be heard! Do not be quiet! Be the Burr in the Saddle, the Squeaky Wheel..... What we believe in, is important!

1. This is just a blantant piece of propaganda from the mainstream media.

WE have the power, not them. And what we have to do is keep pounding them on their lies, their slanted stories, and the rest of their manipulative crap. Just let them know that since they've decided to slant and skew reality, you've decided that they are irrelevant, and you have found better places to find your news, i.e. foreign sources, the internet, the BBC, etc.

The point is we have to show them that their power is just an illusion. The power lies in our own minds and the effort we are willing to expend to find the truth.

2. True for those who will

go to other sources, but most still get their "news" from the television, a few from newspapers and even fewer from radio. These are owned by 6 corporations, right wing owners.

We can help change this. Every time you hear or read something which you know is not true, write, e-mail or call and let them know you have caught them in a lie, although the courts have ruled that there is no law, rule or regulation which says they can not lie. Get all of your address book to do likewise. And, keep it up!

3. And Dean took it graciously and laughed with them.

Most of us did not think it was that funny.
