2nd Open Letter to ABC (and others)

Be Sure to Digg it

Second Open Letter: To All News Media Disenfranchising Ron Paul's Supporters - May 10, 2007

Well, I've seen no response from ABC.com - to my objections and everyone else's - about their heavy-handed censorship of Ron Paul supporters. And reports are circulating about Yahoo playing some similar games. And the much smaller Pajamas Media, after receiving a belligerent e-mail from someone that Pajamas acknowledges is not the Ron Paul official whose name was attached to the e-mail, nonetheless still threatens Ron Paul supporters:

Still, this behavior must stop immediately, as well as the rude and abusive messages we are receiving from these supporters. If they do not, Pajamas Media will have no choice but to remove Mr. Paul permanently from our poll. The choice is now in the hands of Mr. Paul's supporters.

No - the behavior that really must stop immediately is the battering that old and new media are giving Ron Paul and his supporters.

Abusive e-mail is, unfortunately, an inevitable part of online communication. I receive plenty of abusive e-mail, most people and organizations who write or say or do anything public get their share of e-mails from crackpots. We can live with it.

What we can't live with - what our democracy cannot afford - are media disenfranchising a candidate's supporters.

News media - whether tv networks or their message boards, or search engines like Yahoo which perform like news media, or smaller operations like Pajamas Media - have a responsibility to the American people. Unlike someone who sells shoes or pretzels, who can set store hours, open and close online message boards and blogs - pretty much do whatever they please under the law, as is their right - news media have a special, additional responsibility.

Especially in times of elections, news media must err on the side of being open to all candidates and their supporters. Yes, you must tolerate even an abusive e-mail, for the greater good of keeping your system open to all points of view.

That's why Jefferson and Madison in their wisdom insisted on protecting you under our First Amendment.

If any one in the government ever threatened you, stifled you, put you in jail for doing your job, I and other supporters of the First Amendment would be the first in line to support you. As we do now when we attack the FCC and Congress for their unconstitutional crackdown on broadcasters. As I and many others did when Josh Wolf was thrown in jail in San Francisco for refusing to turn over his video footage (he was finally released last month).

But you get that support only if you do your job - only if you act like journalists, like news media, and not someone selling pretzels on the corner.

It's not too late for you start doing your job regarding Ron Paul's candidacy and any one else running for President. No one is saying you have to support him.

But stop this nonsense of treating him and his supporters as second-class citizens right now, or turn in your media credentials and devote yourselves instead to selling shoes or pretzels.

About that Debate

"WTF is up with McCain? How can a man launch into a full rant about following bin Laden "to the gates of hell" and then punctuate it with a big, shit-eating grin? A very scary man."

Get the Ron Paul Randomized Banner for your Web Page, Blog or Siggy.

Some nice folks in the Ron Paul Grassroots Action Yahoo Group have created a few Ron Paul in 2008 banners, and we have created an easy-to-use banner rotator that you can include in your on-line signatures to send people to the Ron Paul 2008 Website. Each view of your posts will result in a random banner being displayed below your name. Banners are approved by this site and the RonPaulGrassRootsAction moderator. If you know someone else who has banners, please let us know so we can add them to the rotation.
If you are interested in looking at the banners we have currently, the directory is currently located here.

2007-04-22T12:15:00.000-07:00

Cyberspace for Ron Paul is the latest friend of Ron Paul site. From their home page:

This website is an organized list of links to help you learn more about Ron Paul and what you can do to make him the next President of the United States.
I urge you to take an in-depth look at Ron Paul's policies. Whether you are a Democrat, a Republican, or a Libertarian, you will find him the single most promising candidate for the 2008 election. And that's not something you could say about just any politician!

I also found this statement interesting and promising:

I usually vote Democrat, or Green in local elections, but in 2008 I will become Independent and vote for Paul. You can contact me at "shii@" this website's domain name. I welcome any additions to this page to promote useful information or add links to your own website.

Shii also has this link posted that peeked my interest:

Dirty Secrets of Foreign Interventionism

This post is for those who do not understand the opposition to foreign misadventures that presidents and their administrations have embroiled this country in since the Spanish American War, for those that think patriotism means blind obedience to the dictates of politicians and secretive bureaucracies who have and are violating the rule of law that they swore an oath to obey and defend. (that means the U.S. Constitution in case you are a little slow)
There is a price that’s paid for foreign intervention, whether it be undeclared wars, foreign aid, covert intrigues, inclusion is world governmental bodies (UN), police actions. or nation building. The cost is unintended consequences, which are generally never positive. They are terrorists, enemy governments, mass murder, increased poverty abroad and at home, oppressive taxation, inflation, and a never ending state of emergency and the resulting loss of liberty. Ultimately if this government lawlessness is unabated, the loss will be the republic itself...
