Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!
Amy Goodman

12,000 Protest Bush Visit to Germany

HeadlineFeb 24, 2005

In news on President Bush’s visit to Europe… some 12,000 demonstrators took to the streets of Mainz Germany Wednesday to protest the president’s first visit to the country since the invasion of Iraq. Protesters carried signs reading “Bush go home,” and “No. 1 Terrorist.” Police said the protest was one of the largest the city of 300,000 had ever seen. Meanwhile the German newspaper Der Spiegel reports that the White House decided to cancel a Town Hall meeting there because German officials denied Bush’s request that all of the questions asked be approved in advance.
