35. who we should trust
Well, who we should not trust is the corporate media. Sometimes an insightful story can fly under the radar, but on a whole so many of our journalists have been muted by being under the banner of corporate interests.

The first thing is that anyone who can should vote for Kucinich, that way he can take these issues to the convention and try to alter the path of the Democratic Party there. That is, anyone in a state that has not yet voted could vote for Kucinich because he may still be able to bring some issues up, in one way or another if he has the support.

The second is, even if you support Kerry, pure awareness of these issues alone will begin to put pressure on our politicians. It's about making sure that politicians DON'T think that the American public is ignorant or that they don't care. So, I am arguing for sane awareness of these issues. Knowledge of corporate powers over our government. Suspicion of the mainstream media.

As for me, I am against ABB. That doesn't mean I'm going to vote third party, necessarily, but that I feel voters must retain leverage of their vote in order that their vote can control the outcome.
