Dear Jason,

Just moments ago, by a near-unanimous vote, the Senate stood up to Big Media. They voted to throw out the FCC decision to let the largest media companies swallow up even more local media.

This is simply an astounding victory, and it would not have happened without the massive grassroots effort by you and thousands of others who called their senators, sent more than a quarter million letters, posted thousands of pictures and stories onStopBigMedia.com, and testified at public hearings held by the FCC.

It was your dedication that made today's Senate win possible.

Today was a huge step forward, but there is still much to do. The fight against the FCC now moves to the House, where our elected representatives need to hear from us.

The U.S. government has repeatedly claimed that it was launching aggressive programs solely at foreign enemies, and then launched them at American citizens. For example:

• In 2002, the Pentagon announced that it wasconsidering spreading false propaganda in the foreignpress. However, the military has spread propagandawithin the U.S.in an operation so aggressive that one participant, a military analyst, called it "psyops on steroids"

• For many years, the government has claimed that it was only spying on foreigners. But it is now clear that the government ismassively spying on American citizen’s home and cellphone calls, email and internet usage, credit card and other financial transactions, and just about every other facet of our personal lives

Dear Jason,

Spread the Word about the Scandal

You've become part of something extraordinary -- a people-powered campaign to blow the lid off the biggest media scandal of the year.

Earlier, you urged your member of Congress to investigate pro-war propaganda on news programs across the country. In doing so, you are one of nearly 100,000 citizens, bloggers and independent media who are refusing to let Big Media bury this story.

Nongovernmental organizations and multinational corporations are slowly taking over the functions of government. The elite believe that nation states are outdated and that new regional forms of government must be established. Many of the global elite like Phillip Bobbitt are openly calling for nongovernmental organizations and multinational corporations to take over the role of government. Bobbitt and others have made it clear that they care not about the liberties and freedoms provided to the American people by the U.S. Constitution. This is all part and parcel of the elite’s plan to form a global government. The European Union was the first step and now the elites are attempting to form a North American Union using NAFTA and the Security Prosperity Partnership...

The Internet is now becoming a new front in the phony terror war. Legislation like the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 that is in the forms of HR 1955 and S 1959 which seek to give the government powers to define thoughts and belief systems as homegrown terrorism, is on the brink of being pushed down our throats. HR 1955 was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives by a vote of 404-6 and now it appears as if the U.S. Senate is attempting to justify its future passage...
