The Tucson "Complain to McCain" rally went well as well.  We had a little of
100 people show up.  Two of the three TV stations showed up as well as one
newspaper that I know of.  The third TV station KOLD-13, showed up after the
rally was over.  They were doing another story they thought was more
important.  I stayed and was interviewed by them as well.

KGUN-9 did a fair and balanced story.

KVOA-4 did not!  They stated in their story that 40 people were there, which
is a lie and we have proof it's a lie.  To add validity to their numbers,
they only showed the side of the crowd that was smaller because that was the
side in the sun.  The shade was taken up by the rest.  This is the way
things will be done by the media.  McCain is their litle darling.

With this in mind, KVOA Channel 4 will face creditability problems.  But
then some things never change.

KVOA spiked a story.  But then some things never change.

We got signature and about 60 more petitions out in circulation.

btw, remember, Phoenix has about 2 million more people than we do in Tucson,
so I think are numbers are good as well.
