The assault on our democracy continues... Here's just one more example, received by email from Freepress.net (not freepress.org)



On Sunday, the New York Times reported that at least 20 federal agencies have made and distributed pre-packaged, ready-to-serve television news segments to promote President Bush's policies and initiatives.

Congress' Government Accountability Office determined that these "video news releases" were illegal "covert propaganda" and told federal agencies to stop. But last Friday, the White House ordered all agencies to disregard Congress' directive.

Gary,
will you do a post encouraging people to download solarbus flyers for the 3/19 events? Emlev posted it inside a topic but perhaps it will get more attention in a subject.
