I am a free citizen. I refuse to have a media surrogate foisted on me to do my speaking for me, especially on policial matters.
What Molly Ivins and George Will have that I don't have is a national platform from which to speak. The only way I can compete is to choose an entity that represents my views and join my contribution with the contributiuons of like-minded citizens to pay the enormous costs of getting that message out.
That right has now been denied me.
