I am having serious trouble understanding why the TV media and journalists alike are not reporting continuously on the fact that Sarah Palin, Republican VP candidate, is not taking questions from them. This is the most critical election in our generation and as voters we demand to know more about candidates before the Nov 4th election. John McCain says 'Country First' he really means 'Campaign First' with his not allowing her to talk to reporters and in my opinion the VP selection itself.
I am OUTRAGED by the fact that Sarah Palin is not being questioned by reporters. We have less than 40 days to decide on a President and Vice President and she has yet to field questions from reporters. Yes, she has had 3 interviews, all with non-confronting reporters who will not sufficiently challenge her. In just two of those interviews with Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson, she has been expose as providing generic answers with no specifics on what value she will add to the ticket. I am writing to challenge and plead with the media to question John McCain's campaign on why she is not allowed to talk to reporters. Imagine if Rachael Maddow, Tim Russert (R.I.P.), or dare I say Bill O'Reilly or other hard-charging interviewers were to question her. We will most certainly find out more and be able to make a more informed decision.
With a candidate of John McCain's age and health issues he has had in the past, it is imperative that we know more about Sarah Palin views and record, have full disclosure of his health records IMMEDIATELY. John McCain's campaign should be penalize by losing electoral voters for not providing this basic information to the country. If he does indeed put the "Country First" as his slogan suggests, I should not be asking for this information. We, the American People, deserve it and its our right! BTW, why is Cindy McCain always with John McCain? At every turn she is with him. Its great that she supports her husband but is there some other reason she is always with him. I find this rather alarming and wonder what you think.
McCain's Health - He MUST Release his Health Records:
We NEED to be able to question our leaders to ensure we are well-informed when we are voting for the next President. We need to know Sarah Palin's knowledge, beliefs, and plans in Foreign Policy, the Economy, Education, Energy, separation of church and state, executive powers, civil rights and a host of other key factors in helping us select the new President and Vice President of these great United States. The next administration will also be tasked with selecting Supreme Court Judges and those selections will shape the legal and political landscape of our country for the next 30 - 40 years. We need to know the lobbyists ties in each campaign to see if they will really get the things done as they claim or be influenced by them. Like McCain's Campaign Manager, Rick Davis, serving as a lobbyists for Freddie Mac and was paid $15K a month as early as a month ago when McCain said his work stopped over a year ago. We need to know these things before we vote of Sarah Palin.

Now here is a look at Sarah Palin's interview's so far which gives a preview of her as #2. This should make everyone afraid of this VP candidate that has a Presidential candidate that not only is 72 years old but has health problems.
Palin On Russia:
Palin on Financial Crisis:
What are Sarah Palin's views or record on regulation and how will she handle foreign relations in the next adminstration? I don't know so I'll use John McCain's record.
John McCain's track record on the economy and deregulation:
DEREGULATION CASE #1 - Keating Five:
DEREGULATION CASE #2 - Flip-flopping on Regulation:
DEREGULATION CASE #3 - Lack of Leadership in Financial Crisis:
DEREGULATION CASE #4 - His Record:
Barack Obama and Joe Biden are better suited to lead us in this financial crisis, finding innovative energy solutions and ending the war in Iraq. Another area that I have heard ABSOLUTELY nothing about improving public education in this country. Barack Obama, as he showed in the debate and in his record, will not behave in a 'maverick' fashion by making enemies in Washington but he will find a common ground to get solutions to help the American people. He will not talk down to people and try to make there opinion feel not worthy of listening to but will will be open to hear all sides and incorporate the good of their idea to make our lives better.
Obama able to work across party lines and has a PLAN:
McCain antagonist and insulting behavior:
I bring up these points because we DO NOT know enough about Sarah Palin and with her being so close to being the President she would be our President. The Media HAS to do its job in ensuring we have all the information about the 2nd most important and powerful job in America. This frightens the heck out of me and it should frighten you too. This is the greatest country in the world and we need to ensure that we use our right to vote and voices to help put us on the right path. We have to demand more questioning and information on her record so we can make an informed decision come Nov 4th.
THE MEDIA, PLEASE DO YOUR JOB AND PUSH ON THE JOHN MCCAIN CAMPAIGN TO GIVE FULL ACCESS OF SARAH PALIN ASAP! TIME IS RUNNING OUT!
