I received this email this morning, and I thought it would be something of interest to all of you on DKos:

On January 20th, Inauguration Day, Let the World Know: Bush Does Not Speak or Act for Us

On January 20th, the day that Bush is inaugurated, we must send an undeniable message of opposition to this administration and its entire agenda. All around the planet and throughout every corner of our country, it must be made clear that Bush does not speak or act in the interests of the great majority of people here and around the world, that the direction of this government is profoundly immoral and illegitimate and that there is a resistance that refuses to be stifled and swept under the rug. We are growing and we are determined not to stop until we forge a different future. The world needs to hear that people in this country will not acquiesce to these crimes committed in our name.

about the anti-abortion clause that was added without vote, by guess who; but this is not the only problem we're facing in these dreary days since the election. A WaPo story the other day, which I should have diaried, and is first coming to the public's attention today - as usual, on a weekend - detailed the changes the Bush admin would like to make - and to pay for them (all of a sudden they are moving toward pay-as-you-go??), it would eliminate the deduction of state and local taxes on federal income tax returns and - worst of all: it would scrap the business tax deduction for employer-provided health insurance. Good-bye group insurance. Read More

Iraq's media regulator has warned news organisations to stick to the government line on the US-led attack in Falluja or face legal action.

Invoking a 60-day state of emergency declared by Iraq's US-backed interim government ahead of the assault currently under way, Iraq's Media High Commission on Thursday demanded news media to distinguish between fighters and residents of Falluja.

The authority, set up by the former US governor of Iraq, is intended to be independent of the government to encourage investment in the media and deter state meddling after decades of strict control under Saddam Hussein. Read More

This could be as big as the missing explosives. Today at 2 PM in NYC there will be a press conference requesting further investigation into the real truth behind 9/11. 50% of NYers think the govt was complicit. Check out 911truth.org and 911citizenswatch.org.

They want Elliot Spitzer to investigate. Problem is, are people going to think these people are loonies; like, how could our govt do something like this? Well, the more we see (those of us who do see), the easier it is to believe that this was BushCo's way of starting WWIII. We have 5 days to make certain that local papers get the story. Last night I sent copies of the Truth Statement to our local rag. Unfortunately, too many people are going to chalk it up to another group of anti-Bushies.

Have DishTV? Tune into 9400-9418

If you've got DishTV, Channels 9400-9418 are Public Interest Networks. Channel 9415 is 'Free Speech TV' and 'Democracy Now' has been running excellent programming on the same issues we discuss on DailyKos. Yes, it is hosted by Amy Goodman from Democracynow.org.

As you probably know, Rupert Murdoch owns DirecTV, which we have cancelled in favor of DishTV. I'd prefer not to support Murdoch in his conservative quest to own the world's media.

Talk about shock and awe! I am ecstatic and excited to say that our local rag, the Reno Gazette-Journal, has endorsed Sen. Kerry! For the past two months I doubted they would endorse him, and I was ready to cancel my subscription with a note about their inability to rationally extract the truth from the BushCo hype. Much of their press I saw as being pro Bush. It was only after the rally here Friday for Sen. Kerry that I noted a change in their attitude; Saturday's paper was loaded with pro-Kerry interviews, articles and pictures.

More Bush lies in Nevada

It seems that daily I become more outraged with Bush, his adminstration and his lies. Today in the mail I received a pamphlet from the Repugs stating that Sen. Kerry voted for the nuclear waste dump here in Nevada. Not in the last 20 years! I'm watching the news right now and just saw someone interviewed (looked like he was from the young Repugs) who had the nerve to say that the ad featuring Mrs. Sheehan talking about her son who was killed in Iraq was 'factually incorrect.' Oh, I guess he knows more than Casey's mom?! According to a limited poll of 600 I just saw on this station, our NBC affiliate, Bush is pulling ahead in the area 52% to Sen. Kerry's 45%. How can people be so stupid?!! Every other commercial here is a political ad - and Bush is assaulting Sen. Kerry more and more as we get closer to the election. These pamphlets are also coming in droves. I'm suffering pre-traumatic stress syndrome. Do you know that no president whose name contains 4 letters has ever served a second term? Make it so again!
