I just learned about a new progressive television network that I think you'll really love! It's called Free Speech TV, and it's an extraordinarily unique TV network. FSTV broadcasts independent news & analysis, and fascinating programs on issues pertaining to international affairs, globalization, education, human rights and much more. And NO boring commercials!

Free Speech TV (http://www.freespeech.org/)airs 24/7 across the country on DISH Network Channel 9415. FSTV also airs part-time on local community cable stations all over the country. You should check out the FSTV website to see if there is a cable affiliate near you: [http://www.freespeech.org/html/affiliates.shtml]. FSTV also has the largest online activist video archive in the world, and many programs can be viewed right on the website! Explore the FSTV archive by going to: http://www.freespeech.org/html/archive.shtml

One amazing thing about FSTV is that it educates AND activates through its explosive Mobile-Eyes campaigns. Each month FSTV focuses on a different Mobile-Eyes campaign, connecting issues, activists and viewers. I bet that within a month, FSTV will mobilize YOU to take action! Below are three Mobile-Eyes campaigns that you can look forward to in the near future:

• Nov. 23-24: Mobile-Eyes against Military Interventions
• Dec. 21-22: Mobile-Eyes on Creating Peace
• Feb. 1-2:Mobile-Eyes on Economic Justice & the World Social Forum

You should also visit FSTV's online store, and consider signing up for a FREE satellite dish and FREE installation (http://free.freespeech.org/store)
