The DC rally is ON with a new date. Share this widely!
[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]From Facebook (copied verbatim, including typos):
[font color="black"]This is a grassroots rally lead by an organizer who has 20 years of protest and rally organizing experience. We will not ask you for any money and everyone is responsible for their own materials regarding signs and banners.
The powers that took us down out of facebook, that destroyed the rally that had 111K RSVPS, that announced Hillary Clinton as the winner of the first debate when literally EVERY ONLINE POLL AT EVERY OUTLET SHOWED BERNIE SANDERS AS THE RUNAWAY VICTOR WITH 70-86% SUPPORT - they will stop at nothing to make sure Bernie Sanders doesn't win the White House. We do believe that people who are on a payroll to work social media for Clinton are responsible for attacking our rally relentlessly for 10 days. Normal people don't spend 24 hours a day 7 days a week trolling the same event to the tune of 1,000's of troll posts and reports.
They are Wall Street who regulates Congress.
They are the KOCH empire.
They are establishment politics.
They are Oligarchs.
They want to keep the shriking middle class firmly under their shoe heel so our children cannot rise. Yes this is a feudal system where the overlords will stop at nothing to keep the poor and less privileged down. Dramatic, probably. True, ABSOLUTELY.
There is too much at stake this election to let them win. We must come back even stronger than before and in greater numbers.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I wanted everyone to actually read the information at the link and learn what's going on. 
[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]And thanks!
Bernie 2016 tv wasn't shut down? Because it was.
Here are some other interesting facts about the Clinton Nominating Network (aka CNN):
1. CNN announced a policy to publish the debates in full, for public benefit;
2. They complied with that policy on the first GOP debate;
3. They did not comply with that policy of the first Dem debate (they took down the original and substituted an "edited version"
;
4. In that edited version they splice edited Bernie's "damn email" comments to remove his point, i.e. that the corporate media will not focus on issues;
5. They also have put on their debate content a "Best of Hillary" segment- but have not done so for any other candidate; and
6. Anderson Cooper was guilty of journalistic malpractice (or lied) in accusing Bernie of having a honeymoon in Moscow. A pure right wing fabrication.

Feel free to provide documentation for either

I've seen that asserted; I've yet to see the smoking gun. You're telling me nobody has done a comparison video of the "real" debate footage (which I and no doubt many other people still have on a DVR) and the "edited" debate footage? How about a transcript of both? Here's one from the Washington Post to start you off:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/10/13/the-oct-13-democratic-debate-who-said-what-and-what-it-means/
5. They also have put on their debate content a "Best of Hillary" segment- but have not done so for any other candidate; and
Again, I have no idea what you're specifically talking about. However, how CNN chooses to report the post-debate period has nothing to do with the allegation of censorship.
6. Anderson Cooper was guilty of journalistic malpractice (or lied) in accusing Bernie of having a honeymoon in Moscow. A pure right wing fabrication.
Again, nothing to do with the allegation of censorship. As for the charge of malpractice, here's the transcript:
Sanders doesn't dispute it; and doesn't accuse Cooper of lying. If he's not concerned, neither am I.

You -- the -- the Republican attack ad against you in a general election -- it writes itself. You supported the Sandinistas in Nicaragua. You honeymooned in the Soviet Union. And just this weekend, you said you're not a capitalist.
Doesn't -- doesn't that ad write itself?
SANDERS: Well, first of all, let's look at the facts. The facts that are very simple. Republicans win when there is a low voter turnout, and that is what happened last November.
Sixty-three percent of the American people didn't vote, Anderson. Eighty percent of young people didn't vote. We are bringing out huge turnouts, and creating excitement all over this country.
Democrats at the White House on down will win, when there is excitement and a large voter turnout, and that is what this campaign is doing.

You're certainly welcome to assert First Amendment privilege, but I don't think you'll have your lawsuit resolved by the scheduled day of the event.
FWIW - all permit forms and instructions are available at the NPS website
to event."
