The answer offered to the public was a Democratic Party \"rebuttal\" &ndash; which essentially opposed none of it!Increasingly there is no platform for any voice of real opposition.  <br><br> 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&rsquo;s \"advice\" to \"watch what you say\"?It is imperative that these views be heard &ndash; and a demonstration that is the first ever to bring to Washington, DC the demand for this President to step down be broadcast. <br><br> 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&rsquo;s programming or to notify us of an event you would like us to cover or . . . .\", press 1 now&rdquo;, press 1 and tell them to cover the World Can&rsquo;t Wait BUSH STEP DOWN demonstration at 11am. <br><br> 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. <br><br> Email: <a href=\"mailto:events@c-span.orgviewer\">events@c-span.orgviewer<\/a>@c-span.org World Can't Wait - Chicago  email: <a href=\"mailto:chicago@worldcantwait.org\">chicago@worldcantwait.org<\/a> phone: 773-412-8318 web: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldcantwait.org\">http:\/\/www.worldcantwait.org<\/a>  <br><br> <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","contact":"worldcantwait_la@yahoo.com","link":"www.worldcantwait.net","address":"","phone":"323-462-4771","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Call to phone CSPAN and demand that they reverse last-minute decision to not broadcast Feb 4 protests.","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2006\/02\/146367.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
