Call to Arms: End Black Out on Palin

Letter from Thomas Jefferson to Colonel Edward Carrington Paris, January 16, 1787

".... the basis of our government being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were if left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter..."

"... Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people and keep alive their attention..."

By every account, the McCain Campaign has suspended interviews by the national press with Republican candidate for Vice President of the United States Governor Sarah Palin until after the election. Since nominated, Governor Palin has had three interviews with members of the national press. In contrast, Democratic nominee Joe Biden has had more than 90 interviews.

If you believe that the citizens of our country should hear from a vice presidential candidate who shares the ticket with a candidate for president who is a 72 year old cancer survivor, please request that Governor Palin be interviewed by respected members of the national press. For example, Tom Brokaw moderates Sunday's Meet the Press and Jim Lehrer moderates the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer on PBS. They are respected journalists who moderated the first two presidential debates.
