This Pro Democracy demonstrator at the Westwood Federal Building in Los Angeles holds up a sign that lambastes the Corporate Media for it's role in the strangling of the democratic process. The German Artist John Heartfield said in the late 1920's, "Those who read Bourgeois newspapers will become blind and deaf." Jello Biafra recently said, "Don't hate the media, BECOME the media!" Good advice for those who desire true Democracy.
At this critical time, all Americans should join the growing national demonstrations to defend democracy.
