Want some pleasant reading to break up an otherwise miserable day of bankster news? Check out Glenn Greenwald's piece "Accountability Now/Strange Bedfellows" at www.Salon.com/opinion/greenwald or in our Popular Content at BreakTheMatrix. This guy is a writer! And a serious constitutional lawyer and thinker. Glenn lays it all out-- the utter failings of the Congressional Democrats; the radical extremism of the Bush Republican Party over seven dark years; and most of all, the opportunity that exists right now to do something about it. Glenn Greenwald has thrown down the gauntlet to the progressive left. Can we from the Ron Paul community stand by and do less? I don't think so.
Strangebedfellows, the new and magnificent coalition of left and right-- FINALLY has come together to do something about breaking up this grotesque two--party charade that's been fooling the American people for far too long. We and our colleagues from the intellectual left share values on civil liberties; on ending the war; and on ending the overseas empire. Our left--right alliance doesn't agree on everything-- but who does? Become a Strangebedfellow-- we're already over 2100 pledges for the August 8 moneybomb, and more than 200 bloggers, activists and friends have joined our standing list. Glenn Greenwald has issued a transpartisan call to arms against our corrupt DC establishment. We're with him.
Tomorrow I'll be doing a joint interview on National Public Radio with Jane Hamsher, our other lead Strangebedfellows partner from the left. Take a minute to check this intriguing woman out on google. She was the one who filed an FEC complaint against John McCain for his campaign finance irregularities. (Funny video of Jane at the FEC office is one of her google clips.) She was a strong Ned Lamont supporter in the effort to unseat the despicable Joe Lieberman in Connecticut in 2006. Jane the firebrand-- read her blog at www.firedoglake.com. Jane the Hollywood producer-- she and a partner produced Natural Born Killers with Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis a few years back, and she wrote an amusing book about the experience. Jane the gracious guest-- many of her video clips are from appearances on Olbermann and other mainstream news shows. We like this woman.
Bottom line-- www.AccountabilityNowPAC.com is up and running and the moneybomb is gaining momentum toward the August 8 date. Pledge now! Become a Strangebedfellow.

That may come to be a big thing if Barr gets into that youtube/google debate. This is the thing that could make this site take off. Suddenly millions will be looking into Barr and hopefully the bloggers do a good job of bringing the traffic here.
Hi Rick:
Heard your show. Very good. I swore off the msm totally half a year ago so it is nice to again get that social feeling that you get when watching a network for information. This is so much better already than the old dino' networks that I can't wait for the future.
But you need more programing. Could you put a request somewhere on the BTM home page for individual viewers to upload and explain their home videos of government malfeasance, waste and corruption? Cops breaking the law. Politicians caught in compromising positions. Bureaucrats caught sleeping on the job or worse. Stories and evidence of what the government's hidden agenda is. You know what I mean. It has limitless potential. We could call the show "Little Brother." You know, telling on big brother?
I'd love to host the show in fact. I'm pretty good in front of the camera as you might see on my blog. I've placed the code for the network on the top right and I've done a quick video plug for the network as well. There are other videos that I've done mostly on economics on previous posts. They are all one take videos off the top of my head about the topic. I'm a one man show ya know...

But good luck with the struggle. I want this network to succeed and I can't see how that's not going to happen.
Best wishes!
