ALL insurance companies need a leash on them. Too many companies cancel policies for health, age and areas in which we live, only to name a few of the stupid reasons many of us have gotten from them. I hope Obama gets the win in November, but I hope he doesn't just concentrate on health insurance. I hope he expands it and makes policies that protects the American people from all forms of insurance companies.

Corporate Media's Threat to Democracy

"Whoever controls the media, controls the peoples' minds."

"There is no such thing in America as an independent press, unless it is in the country towns."

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. "

One of the intentions of corporate-controlled media is to instill in people a sense of disempowerment, of immobilization and paralysis. Its outcome is to turn you into good consumers. It is to keep people isolated, to feel that there is no possibility for social change."

" To keep information from the public is the function of the corporate media."

"The media serve the interests of state and corporate power, which are closely interlinked, framing their reporting and analysis in a manner supportive of established privilege and limiting debate and discussion accordingly."

"In the United States, both the Republican and Democratic Parties, with only a few prominent exceptions, have been and are in the pay of the corporate media and communication giants."

"If you want to know about the world and understand and educate yourself, you have to dig;
dig up books and articles, read and find out for yourself."

"The media serve the interests of state and corporate power, which are closely interlinked, framing their reporting and analysis in a manner supportive of established privilege and limiting debate and discussion accordingly."

"The major media are large corporations, owned by and interlinked with even larger conglomerates. Like other corporations, they sell a product to a market. The market is advertisers - that is, other businesses. The product is audiences, [and] for the elite media, [they're] relatively privileged audiences. So we have major corporations selling fairly wealthy and privileged audiences to other businesses. Not surprisingly, the picture of the world presented reflects the narrow and biased interests and values of the sellers, the buyers and the product."

Barack Obama with our support can lead the movement to oppose the Corporate ownership of our government.

A Hillary supporter... | Report to Admin

By kathyL Aug 28th 2008 at 10:55 pm EDT (Updated Aug 28th 2008 at 10:55 pm EDT)

Hi Everyone,
I'm a die-hard Hillary supporter who never thought I'd be sitting here listening closely to the speeches and videos from the convention and being moved like I've been. Something is shifting for me and I am feeling more like I did at the beginning of the primary season when I was so proud to have so many great candidates running. I had felt that Hillary would make a superior president, but I would have also been happy with some of the others. I support her now in whatever her endeavors. I am still not happy with the way much of the primary season was run, but, like the Clintons I want to move forward and not let anger or disappointment cloud my thinking. I must be honest and say that there were many things that I did not like about Obama, but I want to try to look with new eyes. I want to support Democratic ideals and goals, but really, there were so many shenanigans that I think need to be fixed, and the best way is not to run to the other side and vote McCain, but to work within the party. A lot of things are said and done in the heat of the primaries. I hope you will be open to hearing me from time to time as I work through this.
