The press is not interested in Lebanon, they have abandoned it. The Internet is the only place you can learn that the government has 11 days left to schedule an election. History is being made, don't miss it!
The revolution will be blogged.

People must be aware of their rights as citizens and as voters, ultimately embodied by the Constitution - a text that defends and secures all citizens’ rights and ensures the protection of the weak in a way that neither religion nor political affiliation can. If politicians do not defend the Constitution, the people must guard their rights themselves. Our actions will crescendo over the next couple of weeks until our demands are met. We will refuse any delay of the deadline for the elections, and view it as a violation of our basic rights as they are protected by the Constitution. Our goal is to familiarize everyone with the importance of this right. Over the next couple of weeks we will visit villages all over Lebanon to create awareness. This will be accompanied by a set of daily events organized at Martyrs’ Square, including performances by artists and singers. We will keep going until our fundamental voting rights are respected and enforced…

This demand for liberty and governmental responsibility could have been written by any American revolutionary. But they were written by the woman on the right, Jumanna Nasr.
