AN UPDATE ON THE PETITION TO BOOT BROKAW AS DEBATE MODERATOR Thanks again to all of you who took time to add your name to our effort to force the Commission on Presidential Debates to give the American electorate the BEST chance to compare our choices for leadership of our great country. We delivered the petition and your 2,100 signatures to Janet H. Brown, the CPD Executive Director, as well as several other Commission officers. Copies were also sent to top NBC-Universal executives, hoping the network would respond to our demonstration of dissatisfaction of the bias in their programming. Sadly, we failed to even get a simple acknowledgment from ANYONE for our efforts. And as we saw, during the debate moderated by Mr. Brokaw as well as his subsequent behavior on the weekly Meet The Press show and various MSNBC programs... his obvious prejudicial (pro-Rep/anti-Dem) favoritism continues. It is a rather pitiful commentary that neither important government sanctioned agencies nor major media companies feel obligated to respond when more than two thousand citizens raise their united voices in protest. While we may not alter the MSM landscape before the election... we have our work cut out for us... and THAT will surely lead to more victorious efforts after the election of Barack Obama. While unrealistic to expect the return of the Fairness Doctrine, there are many options to achieve media equity in a wide variety of other ways. One of those is my next mission: Revision of campaign contribution regulations: Force broadcasting companies *and* talent to report (in real value dollars) airtime devoted to promoting a candidate or issue... the same way _we_ must tell the Federal Election Commission if we donate anything worth over $200 as individuals! So for now, let's dedicate our time and efforts to a collection of activities that will increase our chances for success after Inauguration Day... by doing all we can to guarantee the election of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. One of the most critical is to join the chorus of protest when smears circulate, such as: Obama is a Muslim who pals around with terrorists, lies about his tax and abortion positions, Obama lacks good judgment and is not qualified to be President. Challenging these lies can be as simple as following an interenet link and clicking to register your vote. Right now, the Broward County chapter of the group that launched the hate campaign against Oprah (for not letting her TV program get turned into a political forum for Governor Palin) is asking members: Is Barack Obama qualified to be President of the United States? Obviously, the Florida Federation of Republican Women wants to report the world believes, "No, he is not qualified!" You can stop groups like this by saying, "Yes!" and getting everyone you know to respond the same way, by getting everyone to go here: http://www.browardrepublicanwomen.org/poll.htm Every day there are opportunities like this... and every one of them is important - like the often mentioned butterfly effect. Do what you can... so we can realize our dream to have a leader in our country who will really lead the U.S.A. to better place to live and work and return our country to being a world leader that deserves the respect we have lost over the past eight years. Thanks again for your time and efforts... Jon Duffey
