Printed in today's Sac Bee (letters to the editor) 10/24:

A missed story
Re "Hundreds join anti-war rally," Oct. 20: The Bee gave great coverage to the anti-war protest, but was silent about FreeRepublic.com's "Dump Davis" rally, which took place on the same day on the south steps of the Capitol.

Our rally had great visuals -- a real dump truck, huge banners, anti-Gov. Gray Davis signs, pro-Bill Simon signs, as well as the "Vast Right Wing Street Theater," which featured two dueling "eGray hookers" to make fun of Davis' "pay to play" policies. About 150 people were in attendance. Several speakers gave rousing speeches. We were there to vent our outrage over Davis' outrageously corrupt governance and to tout our support for Simon.

It was a great rally but not one word was written in The Bee. Maybe it's because we're a totally grass-roots operation; we're not professionals. Or maybe -- and this is my theory -- The Bee is biased.

LOL!
EXCELLENT letter to the editor!!!
And a good THEORY, too!
The Bee **IS** biased, but they are also IRRELEVANT, now that we have Free Republic to do some REAL reporting!

Good for you Saundra! At least the letter to the editors are read by the public, and something you said in there might just resonate with an undecided voter!
