Progressives- Corporate Media Ain't going to get it done!
Corporate Media Ain't going to get it done!

K. Folks I know how you feel about the media. I too, look every time to see if Dennis' message will finally get out to the masses. I too, think this time the people will see what we have seen. I think surly this time they can't ignore his vision of peace and sustainability. Then I come to my senses.

We need to focus on the task at hand. How do we take the country back from the major corporations before they have depleted all of the Earth's resources and polluted the environment?

It WON'T happen using the tools of the corporate rulers. Let me repeat. It WON'T happen using the tools of the corporate rulers. It WON'T happen using the tools of the corporate rulers. I've been traveling around the First District of California and talking with people. They get it. Get up from your TV’s and go next door. Go to the park. Talk to your neighbors. They see the bias. They just don't know you are there. We can't count on any large corporate entity. By their very definition, they can't help us. Their mandate is to return the largest profit to their shareholders. We need to use our own tools. That's how it has to happen. Tell your neighbors. Every time I catch myself thinking we will get a fair shake from the corporations, I realize how strong the brainwashing has been. Don't wait for it to change. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!

You've been thinking the people are ready; they only need to hear Dennis speak. Your right, they are ready. We ARE Dennis "We ARE the ones we have been waiting for". Get off your butts and hit the streets. Carry your message, carry a sign, let your friend's and neighbors know, we need to have a large consensus on the convention floor. Let them know you get it too, let them know together we can take it back. Ask them to turn off the propaganda machine. Suggest Pacifica Radio or www.kpfa.org they know what you’re talking about. Let's do it this time around. We've done this so far with no help from the media and no money. THAT'S HOW WE HAVE TO DO IT.

LET’s GO! LET's GO! LET's GO!

Think of new or old ways to communicate. I tell you one on one, heart to heart, everyone understands. Don't spend too much time with each person. If they don't believe in evolution, move on. Talk about nurturing, education, teaching and future generations.
Quit waiting for someone else to get it done. Don't let the media hold you down. Remember they want you to feel helpless. They want you to rely on them. DON'T DO IT. I want to see the 17,000 volunteers on the street today.

Got to go I'm traveling a few hundred miles today, spreading the word.

Mike Pring from Kucinich for President

YOU GO MIKE!!!!!!!!!

1. I've been thinking this for awhile now...and I agree
I feel in a way we are at a huge advantage not relyingon the corporate meida...they can't unmake someone they haven't made in the first place.

This is our chance to take our power and control back.....
Yes we CAN do it...we ARE doing it and it will ONLY GROW!

Great post Tinoire...(one of the reasons I stick around this place):)

Peace
DR

2. Mike Pring has his stuff straight!
The revolution is NOT being televised!

The best thing about doing what he's doing is that it reaffirms your faith in your fellow man. I have talked to people here in conservative DALLAS TEXAS who say they voted for bush and are republican, but after talking about Kucinich's plans they are genuinely interested in hearing more!

It's so exciting and affirming to have that kind of feedback (responses that are markedly different from those you see around here!)

So I agree with Mike! Get up, get out there, and talk about your values! Talk about what's important to you, and you may just find out a lot more people agree with you!

If so many people didn't get their news from ABCNBCCBS etc, we'd have much less of a fight on our hands, but they do, so we DO!

NOW GO FIGHT!

:D

4. we need a communications network outside of the corporate media
the internet is good, and it works, but we can't rely on it either. We need a *human* based network. It's ALL about organization, everything else is secondary.
