| At a time like this, the rank of citizen is no badge of honor. And yet, it is precisely as citizens that we must resist this unlawful President. We must redouble the protests that have already made clear the breadth and intensity of opposition to this war. And we must insist that our elected officials in Congress do their duty and restrain this man before he does any more harm. War should not be a decision for one man to make--certainly not in a democracy.

Resolution 678 was passed to allow U.N. members to drive Iraq out of Kuwait. It's now being used almost 13 years later on something that had nothing to do with the original intent and purpose of the resolution. |

Be The Media |
 In 1988
Noam
Chomsky and Edward
S. Herman published Manufacturing
Consent which illustrated in undeniable detail how media moguls
defend the economic, social, and political agendas of privileged elites.
The picture they painted was bleak and dark, but today, light from media
savvy citizens strikes
the canvas with diverse, copyleft
content, low-tech and Do
It Yourself (DIY) solutions, and blistering global growth.

"Be the Media" feels much less theoretical after you personally post a photo or audio clip to your local Independent Media Center's (IMC) open publishing newswire. The Media Democracy movement faces broad oposition from established government and private sector players, but given the production-quality independent media available today (tv [broadcast | internet], satellite, radio, internet, print), and the falling costs of used DIY equipment, the future for media diversity looks bright. So write up an Op-Ed article on issue you feel strongly about or do some research and write a report. Ask your neighboors about your community, report on a city council meeting, write an article. Photograph problems and solutions, videotape a concert or a police action. Start a weblog in which to publish your work, or post it here, here, here, here, here, or here. -- Be the Media. In Addition to the resources linked to above, here are a few more to get you started:
