We now have a state-run media! Coverage of these events has been universally suppressed so far today. Our local Dallas media, where there were multiple protests held, has an article denigrating this movement. It's relegated to a back page of the metro section. The article fails to mention the many other gathereings in the suburbs and downtown Dallas. Turn off your television and put down the local paper! Go to the internet while we still have one, and get yourself educated about the Banksters and their puppet Obama before it is too late!
