I called my local paper about GOP disallowing Dems to hold any hearings.

[blm]

I asked for the national desk and they hadn't even heard about it. They figured I was the same person who gave them the heads up on the Patriot Act hearing that Sensenbrenner cracked up at, and thanked me and said they'd track down this story, too.

They asked me to call again with other tips saying I had a good ear for important news.

We can make a difference, folks. Call your papers and email important articles, too. Sometimes they're so busy on other stuff that really important stories pass under the radar.
