Your#17)...............?? What do WND and Ted Maher's Family have in common??

802 days of captivity of Green Beret Vet Ted Maher. Time to put up the, "Yellow and GREEN Ribbons"!!!

Amen,.......More Grace and Mercy,.........In Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!!!

What does all this mean? In one sense, not much – WorldNetDaily will continue to expose the rampant fraud, waste, abuse and corruption in Washington, just as we have for nearly five years.

Good Job!

[Dog Gone]

World Net Daily has about as much credibility as Art Bell.

Awwwww, WND, Debka, The Onion, and the National Enquirer have all been excluded.

Here is an email I received from Joseph Farah.

Can I ask a favor? If you are not already receiving free WorldNetDaily news alerts, would you mind signing up for them? It really helps us.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thank you. I already get WND.

On the other hand, we'd rather have the same, unfettered access to our tax-supported government institutions as that which the standing committee has seen fit to give to the official Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram. We think WorldNetDaily should have at least as much access to Congress as Beijing's communist propaganda organ, Xinhua News Agency.

Can't argue with that! I'll add my e-mail to the lot. Thanks for the heads up on this.

Thanks for the growl, Sabe!

I just sent the following letter to Keenan.

Dear Mr. Keenan, I am writing to you regarding the charges made by Mr. Joseph Farah, the publisher of World Net Daily, that you have for the past year refused to issue his organization press credentials. If Mr. Farah's charge is true, you are guilty of violating his First Amendment press freedom. If Mr. Farah's charge is true, I hope you will have the decency to grant WND press credentials, and then to resign. Because if Farah's charge is true, and you don't resign, you'll be the laughingstock of our nation's capitol.

It has bothered me, during press conferences in the White House and the Pentagon, to hear voices with obvious accents, nevermind the dark skin - of India, Pakistan, or wherever - sitting there, asking questions of our leaders, and wondering, how on earth did these guys get there? Should they be there? And now to read that WND cannot be there, just makes me nuts.

Knowing that email is so often disregarded, I intend to write letters and put actual snail-mail stamps on them. And send FAXes. They will hear from in writing.

I sent mine! BUMP!!!

I just sent Joe Keenan an e-mail

Thanks for the ping, JH2. Here's the email I sent.

Dear Mr. Keenan,

I am writing in reference to an article titled "The Government-Media Cabal", which was published at WorldNetDaily.com on 13 February, 2002. The article's author, Mr. Joseph Farah, complains that the Standing Committee of Correspondence has declined to grant press corps accreditation to WorldNetDaily ("WND") for over a year, and that you have given him a series of excuses that frankly seem arbitrary and implausible. In his article, Mr. Farah lists some 300 news organizations from this country and around the world that hold the accreditation denied to WND. Some of these organizations are the official mouthpieces of bloody tyrants and of regimes that hate this country and continually slander it. I do not ask that any of them be excluded from our Senate hearings; it is good that opinion-makers from around the world are able to witness democracy in action (whatever account they may give of it). All I ask is that one of America's foremost news organizations, WorldNetDaily, be granted the same access to the facilities and proceedings of our own government as the official propagandists of regimes that would love to see America destroyed.

Thank you for your kind attention.
