>Dear Mr. Rismandel;

>You have made some false assumptions and have treated my postings 
>unfairly. I also post on other patriotic sites besides Indy Media.

>You accuse me of advertising. I have done nothing more than what you are 
>specifically making available to your contributors.
>
>You have an area that states that you may post relative web sites in which 
>I am assuming means relative material as to the article posted. I have a 
>very large web site with about 200 articles on 200 pages of which most are 
>written by me. The theme of my web site is unity of faiths to fight 
>against the NWO. Each page has a index of other articles and I point them 
>to an article that is relative to the one I have posted. So your space to 
>post my web site I use as well as posting the web site with my signature. 
>I also have a link to Indy Media sites on my links page.
>
>It appears by your letter that you may be part of the problem that we are 
>fighting against. I hope this is not the case.
>
>Many of these articles point out how we the people are being deceived and 
>there is about to be a trap sprung that will take away all our rights. I 
>believe this is of local interest.
>
>Primarily the right of free speech. From your letter I have the feeling 
>that this may be sooner even than I expected.
>
>This is a warning of what is happening to every person living on this 
>earth and by not allowing free speech you are playing into the hands of 
>those trying to take away our rights.
>
>On your own site you invite people to post more than one article at a 
>time. I do not do this, I post about 3 or 4 posts per week. I would expect 
>more participation in your site if people had an opportunity to read more 
>view points. Unless all Indy Media bans me they will soon learn to turn to 
>other sites to read what I have to say.
>
>The fact that you are censoring my article is strong evidence that you may 
>be discriminating against people who are standing up for everyones 
>constitutional rights.
>
>I promote Indy Media sites and increase the traffic. Your discrimination 
>is unfair and will soon be known to the people if you do it unjustly. I 
>have received letters from readers stating that people appreciate what I 
>am alerting them of and ask that I keep it up.
>
>If you would point out where I have done something wrong. I would correct 
>it and try to operate with in your guide lines. I am not a book store and 
>have written only one self published book. On a couple occasions I have 
>posted the web page of the book and on one occasion I posted the price of 
>the book. This was brought to my attention and I have not done it anymore, 
>so this is not the reason you are hiding my articles.

>Indy Media is a wonderful avenue for people of the world of different

>You have the power to be a part of keeping our freedom or taking it away.
