Watching morning news (8:00 CDT)I found myself watching some guy wearing a black tee shirt with "MOB" on it. He and the host Lauren Halifax were waving papers called "The Ballot."

Halifax thanked him and noted how "important" the work he was doing and how "helpful" the work was to "help voters....."

After Halifax asked the guy about where to get these ballots, he mentioned that he would be on "U.M.K.C. campus later and he and others would be on the Country Club Plaza over the weekend."

This struck a nerve with me and I immediately went to the computer, typed in MOB as well as "The Ballot" and sure enough it came up as a well-funded effort especially geared at ginning up the vote for college age young people that aren't getting turned on by Obama but might be by "social issues" and scrolling further down, I find such "social issues" as "immigrants rights," "worker's rights" etc.

I was especially interested when I read that MOB and The Ballot was geared at......battleground states of Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio and Missouri!

I contacted FOX4 and let them know that this was not a purely non-partisan group but a well-funded left-wing group that they had just promoted.

Be on the lookout if you live in one of the battleground states on your local TV shows.

Our local FOX is not Fair & Balanced. They probably know this is a leftard group and don’t care.

I did contact them immediately to inform them and demanded equal time.

That having been said, I do want to forewarn others either to expect other folk to appear on their local TV news and information shows and to be ready to complain that it is a left-wing agenda and to demand equal time.

KC bump. Is there a list of KC members?

Not that I could readily tell. I should go back and sign up, then I might find out.
