Think about it a moment. You are an artist or a writer -- and the FBI tells you that you must, for your own safety, disappear. By definition, this means either never creating again, or trying very, very hard to disguise your work as the exact opposite of what you did before.

And she has to fund this herself.

Dear friends,

Many of us already know that Fox News is biased -- but it's actually much worse than that. For years they have used lies, distortions, and race-baiting to divide this country. Recently, it's gotten downright dangerous. Earlier this summer, a heavily armed man got into a gun fight with police after he was pulled over on his way to kill people at the Tides Foundation[1] -- an obscure non-profit that Glenn Beck regularly demonizes on his Fox News TV show.[2]

Fox News is bad news for America -- and it spreads, and is legitimized, partly through TVs in public places.

That's why I've joined the Turn Off Fox campaign -- the first part of a larger campaign to diminish the influence of Fox. It's about educating people about Fox and getting it turned off in stores, restaurants, and other public places.

Will you join me? It takes just a moment to declare your own household "Fox free", and at the same time appeal to public establishments in your community to stop playing Fox. And you'll get a FREE Turn Off Fox sticker when you do. Click here:

Another writer tries to explain, in short sentences and small words, why we cannot pick and choose from the Bill of Rights like it was a cafeteria line.
