Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. 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 – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Arnold Drops Plan To Investigate Past Treatment of Women

HeadlineDec 10, 2003

Newly elected California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has announced he is no longer planning to hire a private investigator to examine the 16 reports that the governor had sexually assaulted women. This breaks a promise the governor made before the election. Meanwhile one of the 16 women who came forth with charges against Schwarzenegger is now suing him for libel. The woman, Rhonda Miller said his campaign staff falsely suggested that she was a convicted prostitute. Miller says that in 1991 Schwarzenegger lifted up her shirt, took a photograph of her breasts and groped her on the set of Terminator 2 and that he later groped her again during the filming of the film True Lies.
