2008 Online News Service of the Year
Citizens for Legitimate Government



Much of the credit for bringing down Bush and the Republicans belongs to Lori Price and Michael Rectenwald of “Citizens for Legitimate Government, “ an online news service that has educated Americans from the time Gore won Florida through the present. The major media did its best to keep the people in the dark about what Bush was doing and planning, what was really happening in Congress, in America and in foreign countries, such as Iraq. The broadcast media pushed Bush’s version of all events without regard for the truth.

Knowing that truth was the best defense to injustice, Lori Price and Michael Rectenwald, searched articles from news organizations across America and around the world to get the real scoop on events and sent information and links to important articles to the inboxes of anyone who wanted to learn the truth. CLG subscribers and friends of CLG subscribers often received news a year or two before others in the public were informed of major events. Remember how surprised some members of the public were about the arrest of Scooter Libby. CLG subscribers had known was coming from the moment of the outing of Valerie Plame.

The result of CLG’s hard work was that Americans were prepared to counter the lies the Bush Administration spun in its pursuit of war and tyranny. Finally the public was so well informed, that the media had to respond to some of the better known facts and the result was that, on November 4, 2008, the public overwhelmingly voted to end Republican rule. In fact, most voters wanted members of the Bush Administration charged as felons. Imagine the results if the last election if the public had continued to be in the dark about the reasons for the Middle Eastern wars and about government corruption in Washington D.C.
