The Furious Spinner

Did you hear the US has shut-down an anti-American newspaper in Iraq? Do you know how the Iraqis can tell the difference between the Bush regime and Saddam's regime? Less crime during Saddam's regime.

Also, the FEC in our own country is trying to make it illegal for non-profit groups to criticize Bush!

According to MoveOn.org, "The Republican National Committee is pressing the Federal Election Commission ("FEC") to issue new rules that would shut down groups that dare to communicate with the public in any way critical of President Bush or members of Congress. Incredibly, the FEC has just issued—for public comment—proposed rules that would do just that. Any kind of non-profit—conservative, progressive, labor, religious, secular, social service, charitable, educational, civic participation, issue-oriented, large, and small—could be affected by these rules. Operatives in Washington are displaying a terrifying disregard for the values of free speech and openness which underlie our democracy. Essentially, they are willing to pay any price to stop criticism of Bush administration policy. Your comment could be very important, because normally the FEC doesn't get much public feedback.

Public comments are encouraged at politicalcommitteestatus@fec.gov. Comments should be addressed to Ms. Mai T. Dinh, Acting Assistant General Counsel, and must include the full name, electronic mail address, and postal service address of the commenter."

Time to defend our rights, brothers and seesters!
