I just found out that the stations in my hometown here have raked in three million or so dollars from political ads. That's ridiculous. Nationwide, the total is going to be over $1 BILLION dollars this year. Not only is it a shame that the media is making such a huge amount of money OFF OF DEMOCRACY, but they are doing so with OUR airwaves (that they get exclusive rights to...for free) without educating the voters enough about ALL the options that they will face on November 3. That makes me sick.

Thankfully, there's a good group out there (that I've been a member of for two years) that's trying to do something about it. Check them out:
