Brothers and sisters in Postal service:

If you belong to the United States Postal Service, you must be outraged at the latest move by President Bush to open your mail without a warrant.

I have set up a website for all of us to use in expressing our outrage at this latest debacle: www.postalworkersunited.blogspot.com

Please come by and tell all your coworkers about this!  We need to act now to save our democracy!

Brothers and sisters,

Oaxaca is still on fire.  We need to do something to convince the Mexican government that their current repressive acts are not something we in America approve of.  If enough of us sign this petition, we can maybe convince our legislators to do something to pressure the Mexican government.

Right now, it's our best shot.

Greetings, folks.  Thanks to Rick McKinnon of Olyblog, we got a few folks up from Olympia to attend the Tahoma Progressive Media Conference on October 7th.

We are very excited about what we're creating, including a website modeled on Olyblog's success for Tacoma and the surrounding area.

We'd love for everyone in Olympia to come check us out and to see what we're up to, and to consider helping us achieve our goal - the total transformation of the media landscape.

You may not be in T-town, but you can still help us out.  We need your help spreading the word, communicating about the exciting things happening in Oly and in Tacoma regarding citizen action and this growing movement of the people, by the people, and for the people, to better their lives and improve their communities.  Olyblog and NMA are just pieces of the puzzle.

As we expand, we will definitely be needing an Olympia branch, and we will be looking for you to make it happen.

Of course, you can always just start it yourselves, and see what happens.  Check out our website to see what we're doing, and if you can convince enough folks to do it in your area, you'll be ahead of the game.

Peace, and don't be a stranger.  The election may come and go, but an informed, educated citizenry will always be just around the corner.  And it's we the citizen media activists who will make that dream a reality.
