I think it may have crashed their site. Here's Wikileaks' twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/wikileaks), and a link to the East Texas Review (http://www.easttexasreview.com) (link isn't working on their homepage either).

Damn, not working for me either. They should have hosted it on another site. Dylan Ratigan is awesome.

Thanks. Now the link on the East Texas Review home page to the article (and others on their home page) isn't working either.

I say tweet Wikileaks and ask them to advertise Black This Out Facebook event. The website would probably get hit hard.

Probably should add #RonPaul or #blackthisout hashtags so it can easily be retweeted by others.

Now the East Texas review homepage isn't working. I think Wikileaks crashed their website with too much traffic.

Like the rest of them, the Texas Republican supports legislation that would demean women, African Americans, Latinos, and the poor. He’d also like to slash new holes in our already frayed social safety net.

Great headline, but not a great article.

I would not retweet it...

Man, if Wikileaks can tweet about blackthisout.com that would be fantastic.

Definately, eveyone tweet Wikileaks asking them to tweet about Black This Out. No harm in asking.

You could remind them Ron Paul is their friend.. Ron Paul Defends WikiLeaks On House Floor (VIDEO) (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/10/ron-paul-wikileaks-defense_n_795014.html).

That's probably why they twitted about Ron Paul in the first place.

This media blackout is apparently not due to any bizarre social policy beliefs that separate him from the other GOP candidates. Like the rest of them, the Texas Republican supports legislation that would demean women, African Americans, Latinos, and the poor. He’d also like to slash new holes in our already frayed social safety net.

Not true. He's the only R (or D, for that matter) saying we need to keep the promises govt made to seniors, and is also the only one worrying about the purchasing power of those on fixed incomes. "Demean women, AAs, Latinos, and the poor?" How so? By treating them equally, rather than special?

given the words 'black out' in the tweet, I'm wishing it linked the money bomb.... but I guess that might have blown up in our faces.

That article kind sucks in some ways. The headline is nice though.
