Thanks, Joan. I really want to encourage people to get involved. We have more unity of purpose and more organization that we are aware. We have everything we need to make a paradigm shift away from corporate power and toward people power. The corporate media is not going to cover the advocates for justice doing the real work but we are out here. There are lots of Americans working for the necessities of the people, a fair economy and for an end to American empire. We are more networked than ever before, more aware, more in touch. Corporate power looks invincible and they are powerful, but organized people can overcome them.

When I spoke at a single payer conference this weekend, one activist asked me about whether there was a chance for success not only on health care but on other issues. I described the breadth and depth of progressive advocacy -- which is greater than we think; and the urgent crisis' that the nation and world are facing and said that our ultimate success was inevitable. But, because the corporate media does not cover what we are all doing we are like termites in the wall. We are eating away and they do not want to acknowledge our existence. Some day, sooner than we realize, the walls will come tumbling down and the end of corporatism will come -- the impossible will become the inevitable as it always does.

By the way, our watchdog campaign, Protect Our Elections, has put out rewards of $100,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Karl Rove and Tom Donohue, the CEO of the Chamber of Commerce. So, spread the word to people who might know insiders so they can become heroes of democracy rather than being criminals.

Thanks for talking with me, Kevin. It's good to know that progressive advocates are alive and well, despite the clampdown on coverage by the corporate media. This latest move to do an end-run around Democracy is major bad news, regardless of your politics. Good luck to us all!
