If you want a perfect example of the influence of us 'ordinary' Americans just look at what happened in the House of Representatives tonight. A vote of 403-3 against surrendering in Iraq!
And who voted AGAINST... Pennsylvania congressman John Murtha a day after his statement of surrender, a 'shot heard around the world' including by Al-Jazerra where he was the top story yesterday.
The power new media in forums like Free Republic, Hannity Forums, the blogosphere and talk radio was on display today.
The FReepers here Free Republic rang Murtha's phones off the hook, caused his fax machines to run our of paper and filled his email inboxes. See this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1524448/posts
