4. Don't give up. Call newsrooms of TV stations, radio
I did. I got no response from some, but a few young reporters eagerly took down the information about the electronic voting. Also, I've mentioned PNAC goals. Most of these newsrooms the people did not have a clue what PNAC was. Even if nothing gets done at first, we have planted the seeds.

slightly off topic but on topic of fighting back: I refused to purchase services with a contractor who supported *. I told him why! It really rankled him, but he could still smell my money and is going to call again to try to convince me! I almost had to take a shower after talking to him, it was like visiting freeperland. He wanted to explain why he supported * and talked about how he hated Iraqis and how we have to blow them all away because of 9/11 and how we had a right to their oil. It was disgusting and I have to say, refusing to do business with him made me feel good! I was proud of myself--I was firm at first then real passive aggressive--letting him think he may have a chance if he called again and being super polite. I didn't let my disgust with him show through, but it was hard. I'm beginning to learn how to deal with these devils. I'm beginning to understand why oppressed peoples have to fight back with unconventional means.
