Getting control of public papers might help?

What do you think?

From the other 98% :

Over 1,900 folks have stepped up and pledged to help us buy major newspaper publishers The Tribune Company before the likes of Rupert Murdoch and the Koch brothers can get their sinister hands on them.

Our crowdfunding campaign has been all over the news, spawning major stories on the corporate consolidation of our media in places like CBS, Bloomberg and the Huffington Post.

Now we're shifting into overdrive. And we need your help.

We need to raise $3500 to run hard-hitting ads on the online homes of the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune and other Tribune Company newspapers. If major newspapers are flirting with far-right billionaire ownership and corporate consolidation, we want to make sure their readers know.

The ads will have a simple message: "Don't Let Rupert Murdoch or the Koch Brothers Buy This Newspaper. Crowdsource it with us instead."

We believe that you can help us make this an even bigger national referendum on community owned media vs. corporate controlled media.

Help us make this a national story. Help us Free the Press.

Thanks for all you do to make this movement real.

Sincerely,

John Sellers, The Other 98%

It puts Boehner and Cantor in a bad position either way they move.

Kowtow to DeMint and see the strings move the puppet. Go against DeMint and risk having all that dark money that they protect targeted towards them for someone more willing to kowtow.

Yep.

I have a swell idea. Let's pretend that we don't see the money pushing against the Farm Bill.

And then we can pretend Libertopians are cool and they have our back.

Ahhh, yes. the SPN is spreading and working ever harder at the Federal level. Or is HeritageAction the brainchild of Demint?

DeMint is hard at work.
