Ok DU look what you've started....
maybe some of you will remember back in Oct. I was writing a letter to the editor of our local newspaper and ask for a link to the social security myths web site.Well to make a long story kinda short, I wrote the letter it got published, 2 different responses called me a liar because they couldn't find the links. According to our paper if someone rebuts your letter and calls you by name, you're entitled to a rebuttal. When I tried to rebut and show another way to the links, thru google and then fix a mistake, I didn't realize the link was case sensitive, the editor won't publish my rebuttal, he said I had my say. So I passed this info on to my county dems organization, boy did we start something. I got e-mails back talking of going over his head to the editor, writing to other papers,showering them with more letters and even picketing the paper.My first action is, I wrote an e-mail to the editor-in-chief, I'll wait for his response before deciding on further action. Just thought you who helped me with the links would like to know these dems are standing up to bias media. :patriot:

4. Excellent.
You go girl. That is democracy in action. That editor is employed because the people who buy his paper - well, buy his paper. He better remember who his customers are.

Kicked and Recommended.

11. I truly believe...
... this is real grassroots work and this is where it is at.

Propers to you, please keep us posted. I need to be doing more of it myself. LTTEs are a great way to get a message out.

12. Yes! Alldamnright! Power to the people! We are in the process of
organizing demonstrations in front of all media outlets in AZ, metropolitan areas if we don't start getting more protest coverage.
