Call to phone CSPAN and demand that they reverse last-minute decision to not broadcast Feb 4 protests.
URGENT DEMAND: BROADCAST BUSH STEP DOWN DEMONSTRATION!
CSPAN must reverse its late Friday afternoon decision to not broadcast Saturday’s Bush Step Down Demonstration.
This week, every major network broadcast Bush’s State of the Union address – an aggressive and unrelenting assertion of his program of war, torture, spying, and war on the poor, abortion and secularism in government. The answer offered to the public was a Democratic Party "rebuttal" – which essentially opposed none of it!Increasingly there is no platform for any voice of real opposition.
And now CSPAN, one of the few media sources for public information, has made an 11th hour decision to silence it. Is CSPAN heeding the Bush administration’s "advice" to "watch what you say"?It is imperative that these views be heard – and a demonstration that is the first ever to bring to Washington, DC the demand for this President to step down be broadcast.
Call and email CSPAN NOW. Tell your friends and e-lists to do the same:Call viewer services at 765-464-3080. When it says "To record a comment about CSPAN’s programming or to notify us of an event you would like us to cover or . . . .", press 1 now”, press 1 and tell them to cover the World Can’t Wait BUSH STEP DOWN demonstration at 11am.
You can also call the CSPAN Washington Journal call- in program 7-9am EST Sat. Call 202-628-0205 to "support others" (other two choices are Democrats or Pres Bush). Tell them to cover the WCW demonstration.
