Haven't felt so hopeful in a very long time
The protest rally in Washington and others around the country and world have given us powerful momentum...and the GREATEST thing that could have happened was the pitiful representation at the pro war rally...400 versus hundreds of thousands of diverse ages and ethnic groups...THIS is the True poll...not the phony polls we are handed..approval of the war is about 13-17%...as is the miserable support for the president...MSM would have us believe differently...I am most encouraged by the representation of young people..looks like there is momentum on the campuses as well...we are still, however, in the grips of a lying or silenced media...but with these numbers, far more than half of the country I am positive...I think we could pressure the media economically by boycotting their sponsors..an organized effort to boycott sponsors until the news is legitimate...any thoughts?
