Tell the media to cover the Real ID rebellion

"There is a nationwide revolt against the REAL ID Act, but you wouldn't know it from watching the national news. Political journalists are often too obsessed with parties and personalities and the "sport" of electoral politics to cover real issues of real concern to real Americans."

So says DownsizeDC, and I couldn't agree more. They're not just complaining, though: they're starting up an email campaign with a page that lets you send a message to Neil Cavuto on FoxNews, Keith Olbermann on MSNBC, and Wolf Blitzter on CNN. Good thinking! I just tried it out (I'll include my letter in a response) and it seems to work just fine.

On Homeland Stupidity, Michael Hampton quotes Jim Babka of Downsize DC on why this is so important:

Congress may not always care what citizens think, until they’re forced to, but Congress always cares what the media thinks.... We need to get the media to cover the nationwide revolt against the REAL ID Act.
