NEWS MEDIA FAILURE, TAXPAYER RALLY IGNORED

Apparently, Obama attempted to divert news coverage by going to Minnesota to speak. Real handy when 2 million Americans plan a Taxpayer March on Washington on September 12, 2009, to have their voices heard. I found out about it on C-Span when flipping through channels on Sunday morning about 5 am.

In real American tradition, when interviewing people after the rally (not covered by regular media), those who criticized were allowed to comment. Some said that those who attended were a drop in the bucket and not representative of Americans. HELLO........... 2 MILLION AMERICANS FROM VARIOUS GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS CAME TOGETHER FROM ALL OVER AMERICA TO BE HEARD!

Another criticized the intelligence of those who attended or spoke, the taxpayers who pay the taxes to finance all these bailouts and new national debts, and protest what goes against our Constitution.

Another criticized that they chose to rally on September 12, the day after 9/11. Sounds respectful to me, to wait until the day after.

The March was planned for 8 months, according to sources pulled up on Bing search. Why have we not heard more about it before it happened, and definitely why not during and after? It was barely mentioned on the regular networks, other than covering the March, not the Rally and speakers.

One of the topics of great importance was growing our national debt into 3 trillion dollars, to be doubled by 2019, and Obama saying all these new programs are not going to cost us extra. Someone explain to me, how can that happen?

Look for yourself.....search for Taxpayer March on Washington

Americans, do you want ALL the news, or not, so you can make an informed decision for yourselves?

SPEAK UP, AMERICANS! Whatever you believe, make yourself heard. Linda T. (easygoingcountrylady)

If you want to know what is happening in our country, you'll have better luck reading on-line the reports from the foreign press, as in the BBC News. Be well, J. Oct. 2
	Lady Acewrote: I learned about the march early Sunday morning as well. This was one of those surprise attacks. I guess a point was being made that another 9/11 could occur here in our own country. I, personally try to stay abreast on the going on in our nation as well as world-wide, and what I see is chaos. The world we once knew is going away. We have placed our trust in government, and it looks as if they have failed us. There are many who will say "Don't believe everything you see." I believe the nation as spoken for their choice of President; however, being we are now a nation of NOW, I do not feel President Obama is being given a fair chance. One must remember, he is still dealing with years and years of past accomplishments and failures. We as a PEOPLE and NATION should think positive. We are still doing better than the rest, unless you want to count the Chinese. STAY STRONG AND BELIEVE...... Sept. 14
	Lady Gracewrote: Applauds, applauds, applauds.... yes, I just learned (for you) of this event. Well, I applaud those people and sorry I was not informed. Yes, I do feel and noticed that not ALL news are not being covered. News is news. And news should be about informing the people - if it is not, it's not news anymore. They or the government should not be the only ones to decide what is important or need to be heard, etc. There are about four news program on regular channels at the same time or one after the other. They don't all have to report on the same news all the time. I did not check the news this morning especially my favorite Channel 2 - news in review to see if they covered it. I think Ch 2 this morning would have cover it because they like to read and give some information or idea for people to think about.:) For example: one woman was talking about the feeling and treasure of receive a letter by email or by mail. Before the computer I used to treasure letters and mailed letters were more surprising and made me happy than receiving a bill. Sadly, mailing became expensive (especially internationally) and I became lazy and poorer. That reminds me I need to write to my long-time pen pal... or should I say, type since I can not write with my hand. :/ Have a great day. love, hugs & kisses... Sept. 13
