It isn't impossible. Just like we contact our congresscritters, we should contact the media. It is equally important to tell the media as well as congress what you are thinking about and what your opinions are. Otherwise, they will simply answer to their corporate sponsors. (again -- a lot like the congresscritters.) I am supplying to you a list of contacts (both phone #'s and email) in the media. Tell them what you think about a particular story or event. Tell them you want to see the things that are near and dear to you to be covered! Things can only change if Americans are active participants in making things happen.

It doesn't matter what the issue is... we ALL should have the ability to contact the media at our fingertips. Here is a handy list to do so. Let's get started:

First, and foremost: contact your congresscritter with this tool: http://www.congress.org/congressorg/directory/congdir.tt

Then, contact the media and tell them what you think!
