Re: Day of Silence?

I'll say one more thing, then I will shut up.

To say that this one station can't make a difference is the same thing as not voting because your one vote won't matter. If all those people who said that in fact DID vote, they could turn elections around. I see the "too small to matter" argument as just pure apathy.

Today's update at http://www.kurthanson.com/archive/ne...07/index.shtml says that Congress is being overwhelmed with phone calls. So, the day of silence appears to be having the desired affect.

Turn the election around? I hear that from people whenever their political party affiliation is the one that came in "under-funded" in the vote tally. Here in the states, it doesn't matter. The difference between parties is moot. It's like the difference between sticking your head into a bucket of shit or into a pale of shit. The 2 major parties here are corrupt and out of touch with their constituents. The current and former administrations alone should have opened your eyes to this. Next election, vote for me!

The only reason that congress MIGHT intercede is because their constituents are harassing them and keeping them from exercising their practices of graft and deceit.
