We have been foolish to allow so much privatization.

Privatized Vote counting by partisans results in rigged elections. http://www.seconnecticut.com/elections.htm
voting machiines need to be open source and standardized.

Corporate media has resulted in advertising spam, trivia, distraction, silly news, and a dysfunctional political process. Right wing hate speech has brought us endless war, a new arms race, and a move toward nuclear weapons. http://www.seconnecticut.com/media.htm

Republicans are a curse on the US.

Unfortunately, I missed the debates on TV, and so far all I Have been able to hear are the sound bites, hence I would really like to be able to hear the entire debate in full.

I totally support this issue. We need to have more PUBLIC in the PUBLIC DOMAIN - not just mega-corporations hogging the airwaves, and not allowing PUBLIC discourse on these all-important issues. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

to post the debates on YouTube is a fantastic idea. I don't have a TV and I missed watching the debates yesterday, so I thought actually I might check out YouTube, maybe I can find them there . . . so I am thrilled, please make this possible. It is so important, that everyone has access to these kind of informations.

THE CONCEPT OF PLACING ON YOU-TUBE THE MEANINGFUL COMMENTS ON SIGNIFICANT TOPICS MADE BY CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT IS HIGHLY INFORMATIVE AND BENEFITIAL IN HELPING TO LEARN ABOUT CANDIDATES. THE USE OF TRADITIONAL TV AND NEWS MEDIA TO GAIN INFORMATION ABOUT CANDIDATES IS INADEQUATE.

Fine. Now that that petition is out of the way, how about a petition demanding that those running debates feature tough, non-puffball, non-smear, specific questions about statements and actions?

For instance, I cover immigration matters quite closely, and "reporters" consistently allow politicians to lie about that topic rather than challenging their statements. And, during the 2004 debates there was just *one* question about immigration, which was answered with Bush's/Kerry's stock talking points.

The much bigger threat to our political system is that there are some topics where "reporters" and almost all politicians are aligned, no matter what the rest of the country thinks.
