Trading BS for Votes
[inlink]terry,319[/inlink]

Though this does sound scary, it is all just grandstanding. If the Supreme Court wants to hear a case, it will hear a case and there is nothing short of a constitutional amendment that will stop them. Laws such as these are to allow legislators to go back to their districts, say they did something to fight these great social ills, and then blame the courts when they say it is bs. Congress knows full well this doesn't mean anything other than something to tell the consituents.

News Bias
[inlink]maidencateyes,144[/inlink]

Though they are trying to give an appearance of fairness, I believe the news is biased. Just go to the signers of the petition and see how many reporters signed their name. I am not saying that it is a good or bad thing. Some of the best and most important news reporting was done by muckrakers with an agenda. It is just important that we are aware of the fact the media is biased.

Petition
Because I am bored and a big loser, I read through all the signatures on the petition and their are quite a few recognizable names including many reporters both for the News and TV as well as Kevin Gaughn-regionalism activist. I know there is no way to verify that these are actually them, but interesting none the less

Protests
Hey Everyone,
My sister is doing a project for her photography class on photojournalism, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any protest/marches/rallies etc scheduled in the Buffalo area that she could go to and document. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
