Having refused to be a guest on KQED´s public affairs
program Forum because she was not allowed equal time, America´s leading peace activist Cindy Sheehan audaciously called in
to the program this morning to get a chance to address House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Upon stating that Nancy Pelosi has ducked
her responsibility of meeting with her San Francisco constituents since 2006, the impatient program host, Michael Krasny,
interrupted Cindy to prod her to ask the question his call screeners had agreed to. In all, Cindy Sheehan was granted less
than 40 seconds to speak, and was not allowed to respond to Nancy Pelosi´s answer. Cindy Sheehan is running against Nancy
Pelosi for California´s District 8 Congressional Seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

is one area where Palin has more experience.
At a press conference on August 27 2008 local
reporter Peter Marcus from the DenverDailyNews.com strikes a nerve with independent candidate Ralph Nader.
This is Dakota & the Black River Bandit's first video release. They are a folk/political duo
from Phoenix, Arizona. They are great admirers of Congressman Dennis Kucinich's optimistic policies and wrote this song for
his presidential campaign of 2008.
