Oh, wait, the EAC is a tool...

She must have a copy of her original on her hard drive(s) which could be "discovered" under a rock near the "Nation," "American Prospect," McClatchy's Washington Bureau or other trustworthy media offices. Plausible deniability? My office was broken into and...

8. Those DUers who know how, please forward this to Schumer and Waxman.

There are so many atrocities that I do not know how they keep up, but if they get several copies of this it should get flagged. Thanks!

9. IT IS CRUCIAL that we get this gag order removed!!!

This goes to the HEART of our Democracy, and it's time this can of worms was opened up for the whole nation to see.

Does anyone still have the "media blast" e-mail list that bpilgrim had, with the addresses of all the media outlets (foreign & domestic), and all the names of the congresscritters and senators?

It's time we e-mailed this information to everyone who has an e-mail address... everywhere.
