Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Obama: McCain Thinks Giving Americans a Break is Socialism

HeadlineOct 28, 2008

On Tuesday, Senator Barack Obama campaigned in Canton, Ohio, where he gave what was described as his closing argument speech.

Sen. Obama: “We’ve always grown the American economy from the bottom up. John McCain calls this socialism. I call it opportunity, and there’s nothing more American than that.”

At a rally in Cleveland, Ohio, Senator John McCain said an Obama presidency could be dangerous.

Sen. McCain: “Do you want to keep it invested in your future or have it taken by the most liberal person to ever run for the presidency and the Democratic leaders, the most liberal, who have been running Congress for the past two years, [House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi and [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid? You know, my friends, this is a dangerous threesome.”
