Last night was AWESOME!!!!!

[Tesla]

It was so nice to see the Dayton Convention full of people wanting to take our country back!!

Amy and Phil laid out all the lies and fabrications that this administration is wanting us to believe, and presented it as a,"Only we can change these things" mantra.

They discussed the embedded media that follows the Party lines.
The un-embedded media, in Iraq and in the US, being pointed out and stifled.
The only way we can get the "Sheeple" to listen is to HAVE OUR VOICES HEARD!!

Take back the media!!

They asked Phil if he wanted to do another show, and he said NOT with the Big Companies, he thought he was big, but they are MUCH BIGGER!!!
Said there is too much you have to go along with......


Amy pointed out MANY times over the course of the evening just what MSNBC did to Phil right before Iraq. They took off the air their TOP-RATED Show because thy didn't want to be known as anti-war!
She kept reiterating how if WE wanted Phil back on the air, WE could do it.

There were as many serious, as well as many light-hearted moments throughout the evening.


After the show, I got to meet and shake both of their hands.
I thanked them for everything.
I spoke with the lady who helped in organizing the event,and her husband was the chauffer for both Donahue and Goodman. She had gone to Crawford, as well as DC last weekend.
She said Cindy was amazing, and the March was also.
I asked her if she had upper respiratory problems this week, she had.
She said the symptoms starting occuring on the ride back from DC.
I told her to check the DU and also about the "Rabbit Flu", etc.
I told her to go to the Dr. and tell them she went to the March.

I wanted to ask about it in the Q&A part of the evening, but didn't get picked to ask.

Before the show, her and Donahue did an interview for our local PBS station.
This was also taped to be shown on "Democracy Now!!

I would LOVE to hear Phil Donahue daily on AAR -- or Pacifica opposite Jerry Springer -- :woohoo:

[shenmue]

5. Not a bad idea

I think he'd do a good show too. Always smarter than the average bear. Do we ever need smart people now!

...And he does look the same, how does he do that?!?



:shrug: :blush: :cry:

6. Aw, man. Sounds like it was wonderful! When are they coming to Austin?

Amy, Phil: Come on down to the heart of darkness, y'all. Please, please, please....

7. I'm not sure if they are touring together all over.

Phil got his start in Dayton on WHIO, and he was here to introduce Amy Goodman.....

I know Amy was speaking in Columbus Oh tonight, but I think Phil was going elsewhere!!

8. Dammit! If they only knew what a stampede there would have been to see

them.

9. Article on it in the Dayton Daily

"Nobody's talking about malice here," Donahue said in the interview. "Nobody's talking about hoodwinking the public. ... It's a lot easier to be popular than to be scratchy."
