To gauge the calibre of any of the media just follow for a time what they portray as important then, think
of the world 200 years from now.
For a simple test, watch the front pages of a newspaper or tune into your radio or television for a few weeks.
If you notice that most of that presented as THE NEWS is: football/cheerleaders, road accidents, cops and
robber stories or politicians sprouting patriotic drivel without any substance then that medium is a dud.
There are some that would have you gazing at your navel for the rest of your life.
Old saying:
“Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel”
So, be a patriot but don’t be an idiot or an ignoramus.
Here is a look at the media...

Politicians Addresses.
Please help by contacting or visiting your local politician, tell him/her what you think. Politicians love to receive visits and short letters from you. |
| Politician’s Addresses and phone numbers. (For: - Federal and State Governments) |
|
Ten letters to a politician of no more than 30 to 50 words can be much more valuable than collecting 1000’s of signatures. Your letters count because they are counted, and ten letters are seen as over a 1000 votes. Politicians are actually busy people so never write long letters and only ever write about one issue per letter. Letters should be polite, short, sweet and to the point. Ask for a reply and when you get an answer that is nonsense send it straight back and ask them to address the issue and not send you another standard letter that had nothing to do with what you were writing about. |
| Remind them that you and your friends want to know who is worth voting for. |
