No, No, Tia, you have it all wrong-we don't give them to the state, we give
them to CBS, after all, they are the experts.

Politics is all around us, and there isn't any "we" who can "take the
power back" if individuals can't keep it and use it wisely on their own. Kinda
like the Wizard of Oz and the search for home -- if you are looking for the
political power of independence, don't look anywhere other than your own
backyard because if it isn't there, you never really lost it in the first place. You
just didn't realize you had it already. :) JJ

I would be happy to sign a petition and to write to the advertisers -- does
anyone have specific information on these? (I didn't watch the CBS news so I
don't know which companies advertised, and I'm not sure what the petition site
is.)

Thanks,
