Post your comment at the SAVE THE INTERNET BLOG . Here is mine. WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN? I see most of what is to be said here has already been said. I agree we all need equal access to information for this society, economy, democracy to work. But most people are here to promote their own economic or political interest, I want to speek for the kids. This experiment called AMERICA was based upon free speech and equal access to political power, but how can you speak for yourself if you don’t know what is going on, if you don’t have even a basic education. If you don’t have access to information, you have no political power. The public education system has failed our children. The public political system ignores them completely. Without free high-speed internet access there is nothing to balance the neglect, no oppertunity for our youth to educate themselves, and become something more than slaves for the rich and powerful. It begins with the access, the intelligent will rise to the top, b

This movie, based upon true stories, is a critical effort to end the obsene "War on Terror". It deserves an Oscar or three. Beth Hammer has turned her gated Wheat Ridge community upside down with her upside-down display of the U.S. flag. On March 19 - the fourth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq - Hammer decided to hang her flag upside down, which under the federal flag code is a signal of distress. The 64-year-old retired banker said flying the flag with the white-starred blue field - called the union - on the bottom is her silent protest. "I think the war in Iraq has put this country in distress," Hammer said. "We are losing lives, liberty and our honor." Hammer contends displaying the U.S. flag upside down is her First Amendment right of free speech. She has hired a Denver civil rights lawyer, Mari Newman. Why is the US Flag diplayed Upside Down? The upside down U.S. flag is an official signal of distress. It is not meant to be, and is not officially

Who are you? What kind of coward stands by and lets a man get tourtured and beaten in front of him? John Kerry could have stopped the cops at any time by simply telling them to let the boy speak, was he too afraid to answer the questions? ANSWER ANDREW MEYER'S QUESTIONS: 1) Was John Kerry in the same secret fraternity as G.W.Bush (Skull and Bones) at Yale? 2) Why did John Kerry so readily conced the 2004 election when so much voter fraud was evident? 3) Why doesn't Senator Kerry call for impeachment before G. W. Bush invades Iran? Even George W. Bush has the leadership to let his opponents ask their questions. Why didn't you do something?

After questioning John Kerry at forum, Andrew Meyer was called on by Kerry and spoke for about 40 seconds about the 2004 election. His mic was cut off, he was dragged to the back of the hall, tasered, and arrested for “disrupting a public meeting”. Kerry blabbed on, didn’t stop the attack, and none of the videos show his answer…after questioning John Kerry at forum. Andrew Meyer was called on by Kerry and spoke for about 40 seconds about the 2004 election. His mic was cut off, he was dragged to the back of the hall, tasered, and arrested for “disrupting a public meeting”. Kerry blabbed on, didn’t stop the attack, and none of the videos show his answer… My questions: Why did they tazer him when four or five cops had him pinned and handcuffed on the ground? Why didn't everyone in that room get up and walk out? Why didn't they defend him? Why did they stop Andrew from asking his question, but never arrested him?

After Four YEARS! Blackwater, the mercenary corporation responible for countless deaths in Iraq, has been put on trial in the public square. Reports say that the "security frim" opened fire on innocent civilians Monday, Sept. 17, and killed between eight and twenty Iraqis. If Iraq's puppet government has finally grown the balls to try and evict a group such as Blackwater, even if it's only because the mercs are too good at killing the Shia and Sunni Millitias, then perhaps there is hope.

NPR's Day to Day helps document the lessons of history, listen and learn. For Some Americans, Mission in Iraq Unclear Deciphering the Changing Mission in Iraq Survey Puts Iraqis War Dead Above One Million (1.2 million to be exact)

When David met Goliath in the Old Testament, King Saul and his army, afraid to meet Goliath's challenge sent a shepard boy to battle the giant. The new movie, In the Valley of Elah , asks the important question "What kind of King send a boy to fight the giant?". Go see the film, and use it to change the debate. This Friday, September 21st 2007, Oscar award winning director and writer Paul Haggis (Crash, Million Dollar Baby) releases his new movie, In the Valley of Elah (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478134/). The movie, starring Tommy Lee Jones and Susan Sarandon, is about soldiers returning home from Iraq and the psychological effects they endure once they return. It is a stunning anti war film which will have a profound impact on anyone that watches it. When the film enters wide release throughout the US on the 21st, we want to have Kucinich supporters at every theatre in the nation to accomplish four things: Go see the film – you need to see it to talk about it. And

I cried again today. This last weekend in Iraq, two of the bravest soldiers in the U.S. Armed Forces died needlessly. "The victims, Staff Sgt. Yance T. Gray, 26, and Sgt. Omar Mora, 28, were among the authors of “The War as We Saw It,” in which they expressed doubts about reports of progress." They were not killed in combat, nor on a daring mission. They died when the five-ton cargo truck in which they were riding overturned. “We need not talk about our morale,” they wrote in closing. “As committed soldiers, we will see this mission through.” And they did. Here is their origional letter: As Printed in th New York Times Opinion Editorial Section August 19, 2007 Op-Ed Contributors The War as We Saw It By BUDDHIKA JAYAMAHA, WESLEY D.
