Today is Good News day at Winds of Change, when we set aside politics, current events etc. for a time. I consider it good news that the Internet and digital media allow us to learn about events around the world as they happen, especially those that might lead to greater freedom and dignity for people who have lived under terror and oppression. I especially consider it good news that thoughtful people with a variety of viewpoints can debate the meaning and purport of events this way. In that spirit, I wanted to pass along this notice:

We've just received confirmation that C-SPAN is planning to cover Spirit of America's Iraq election event this Sunday from 2pm to 4pm Eastern (11am to 1pm Pacific). Please watch. Your support has made this possible. Please forward this message far and wide and encourage people to tune in.

Iraq's elections are an historic event. This broadcast will provide a unique, more complete picture of the elections with ground-level news and views from the Iraqi people. You will get much more than the typical focus on violence and terrorism. We'll have reports, photos and video from all corners of Iraq. The broadcast event is described more here: http://www.spiritofamerica.net/site/blog/459

You can see reports and photos now at: http://www.friendsofdemocracy.info. And, during the show on Sunday, we will be publishing the discussion at http://www.friendsofdemocracy.info and asking for your comments.
Please visit the site and tell us what you think.
