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!

AMY GOODMAN: Governor Richardson,—is Kerry’s foreign policy an escalation? He’s talking about more troops in Iraq and talking about the Sharon policy. I’m Amy Goodman with Democracy Now! Radio and Television.

GOVERNOR RICHARDSON: No. Senator Kerry is an internationalist. He wants to operate our foreign policy with our alliances, with our allies, and not go it alone.

AMY GOODMAN: But he’s talking about, he’s talking about more proof —

GOVERNOR RICHARDSON: I’m sorry. Please get that out of my way.
