2) Join the campaign for debate reform in America. There is an organization called OpenDebates.org I just found that and so far it looks to be the best bet to get behind. In addition to that, we need to go after media for narrowing the field of candidates for president for us and choosing to not cover some of the candidates because their views do not sit well with the corporations they are owned by (like GE).

With the public’s attention on the election, the time is now to push for change, but how to do that exactly will need the attention of great minds, which I know OpEdNews has as well as the Dennis for President crew too. Please post ideas for taking on media and debate reform effectively.

Plans for rallies on media exclusion across America were to be held before Super Tuesday on Saturday. Since Kucinich dropped his presidential bid, I do not know if plans for that are still being made. But let's get creative with this. 

Also, go where the media is. We've been wronged severely. Go get in the way of the Obama and Clinton campaigns with signs for peace, media reform, and impeachment.

3) Support the American Freedom Campaign, a campaign against the rise of fascism in America.

Naomi Wolf, author of The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot, helped get this started and even asked all the presidential candidates to sign it. Guess what?

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards all took the longest to sign the pledge.

Of course, Dennis Kucinich signed it and he did because his campaign was about impeachment, media and corporate reform, and one last thing---fighting fascism.

His campaign was the only one outspoken about the need to take care of the rise of fascism in America.

I am not going to be publicly supporting any of the remaining Democratic candidates. I will not be campaigning for any of them because after seven years of Bush, they just aren’t good enough.

If we really are serious that skin color and gender does not matter, than people won't be ashamed that I didn't vote for either of them because one is a woman and one is black. A woman president or black president does not automatically equal change for America.  

I will be doing what I can in the three areas discussed above and will also be focusing on primary challengers of Bush Democrats in the primaries. That’s where the progressive movement needs to be and together unified, we must go there with great conviction in our hearts and minds.

***If anyone is interested in a Yahoo! Group or Google Group focused on these three key areas,  comment here and let me know.***
