Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about the climate catastrophe, economic and racial justice and war and peace, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. That's why we have to take the media back—especially now. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

The Senate committee investigating campaign finance abuses yesterday focused again on the activities of Democratic fund-raiser John Huang. Republicans questioned why Huang frequently left his Commerce Department office and walked across Pennsylvania Avenue to use an office belonging to an Arkansas investment banking firm.

Taped excerpts:
• Senator Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine, questioning Paula Green, a secretary at Stevens Incorporated.
• Senator Max Cleland, a Democrat from Georgia.
• Senator Robert Torricelli, a New Jersey Democrat, questions John Cobb, a researcher for the Governmental Affairs Committee.
