The Marriott Library, and the USU and BYU libraries have teamed up to produce http://www.digitalnewspapers.org which has scanned, OCRed, and offers for free public viewing, over 500,000 pages of early Utah Newspapers. You should definitely check it out. As someone who has been involved with the project since the beginning, I can say that we're rather proud of it. Pete,

This is coming from an Australian - I hope your campaign goes well. I actually wrote an article a while ago about the Great Pete Ashdown and I don't think I remembered to send it to you at the time. In case anyone is interested, it's archived on my blog here: http://techlovesart.blogspot.com/2005/12/may-best-candidate-win.html It's CC licenced, so you can cut, copy and paste it as much as you like. Oh, and some advice to you yanks - please start getting serious about who you guys elect to office. The rest of the world will only be laughing harder at America if you keep up your current streak, so for the sake of everyone who DOESN'T have nuclear weapons, please start voting responsibly. Cheers, Alex H Hi all and Go Pete!

I'm glad to see others are thinking the same way. Most of us don't have the money or connections to keep things hushed up. More power to Chad Lupkes in his comments.(#2 comment) My husband feels exactly the same way as Chad. Keep up the GREAT work Pete.

Is the press release posted anywhere on the website? I will keep an eye out for <i>anything</i> in the local papers about it. If they don't report on it, I'll be inclined to write an LTE. All I can say about "grabbing their attention" is: I'll bet! ps. I apologize if the HTML code shows up, I'm curious to see if it works in your comments area. That’s great!

Grabbing their attention is a difficult game. Don, we sent out a press release at the same time the blog went out. Grabbing their attention is a difficult game.

As you are well aware, not everyone reads blogs and internetsy type stuff. You need to come down hard on Hatch when he makes up sh*t like this and it needs to be in the local media outlets! Pete,

In "Common Sense" Thomas Paine speaking of the kings states, "For the fate of Charles the First, hath only made Kings more subtle, not more just." I like to say For the Fate of Richard Nixon, hath only made the Republicans more subtle, not more just. Thank goodness the media and the internet are available to hold them accountable for their misdeeds. We have to bring the nation back to honesty, empathy, and honor. None of which we have now. Bless you Pete. You have all of my support. Pete,
