One of the aims of this new radio network is to counter the claims of = right-wing politicians and media figures. When a major right-wing figure = says=20 something misleading or so full of holes it can only be described as = dumb, Al=20 Franken and other Air America hosts will call them out on it. A great = example is=20 Donald Rumsfeld claiming that he never used the phrase "immediate = threat" to=20 describe Iraq -- and then getting caught on national television. (That = footage=20 is online at http://www.moveon.org/censure/caughtonvideo/)

We can help them out. MoveOn is teaming up with Franken for a contest = to find=20 the stupidest or most clearly false (preferably both) statement by a = major=20 right-wing figure or Bush administration official. Over the next week, = any=20 stupid or misleading comment you hear on the radio or see on TV is fair = game as=20 an entry. If your comment is selected by Al Franken as the winner, = you'll=20 receive a personalized and autographed copy of his book "Lies and the = Lying=20 Liars that Tell Them," and you'll be recognized on-air.

You can read the complete rules and submit as many quotes as you like = at:

Letter from Ralph Nader:

Ralph Nader, in a March 24 letter to the Steering Committee of the = Green=20 Party of the United States, confirmed that he is "running as an = Independent and=20 [is] not seeking nor accepting the Green Party nomination." Nader wrote, = "If you=20 do not choose a presidential candidate in Milwaukee, I would welcome = your=20 endorsement and have said the same to other third parties as well. = Should the=20 national Green Party decide to
endorse my candidacy and have its = members=20 focus their efforts on state and local races, then State Green Party = ballot=20 lines and the participation of Greens in a variety of ways would be = mutually=20 helpful. However, having spent years helping to build the Green Party, I = do not=20 want to be put in a position of responding to individual state parties = and=20 thereby dividing the national party because of state ballot = requirements. So the=20 rest is up to your decision." As an independent candidate, Nader will = help to=20 develop "a true independent coalition of voters who oppose the direction = in=20 which our country is being taken.
