Tell me again how we have a government of the people, by the people and for the people world wide wally Sep 2014 #11

Media is not Government. They just play the voters into voting, or not. freshwest Sep 2014 #16

And what do we get when 90% of the people want some kind of gun control or registration? When 75% world wide wally Sep 2014 #35

Fully a quarter to a third nationally, or over a half to 100% don't want that in some states. freshwest Sep 2014 #37

I agree with you completely. Now we have to figure out how to get people out there to vote! world wide wally Sep 2014 #40

Your search engine must be broken. MADem Sep 2014 #34

Nope. If you go to cnn.com today and type in what I did (as noted in my prev post) valerief Sep 2014 #38

Firefox 32.02. It's weird that it took that long for cnn to display a march link. valerief Sep 2014 #49

I use CNN World--I think if you use a regional version you might not get as much "stuff!" nt MADem Sep 2014 #53

Ah. I just used cnn.com and typed in their search box. It says on the banner it's valerief Sep 2014 #56

why do you think you are entitled to news coverage jonjensen Sep 2014 #33

Yea, not nearly enough hardball by activists. Showing up to a march is an action they can ignore. ChisolmTrailDem Sep 2014 #36

The headlines would say "50,000 crazed armed lunatics surround philanthropists home" Dont call me Shirley Sep 2014 #62

Should maybe run out onto the WH lawn with a sign, would have got more coverage. Fred Sanders Sep 2014 #42
