Compendium
From 2000 until Election Day
2004, Democrats.com published the leading daily news service for America's
100 million Democrats, giving voice to Democratic activists whose views
were - and continue to be - systematically excluded from the
Republican-controlled, corporate-owned media. Our daily news was produced
by a small team of committed patriots who believe in Truth, Justice, and
the American Way.
Democrats.com was the only news site that covered the Stolen Election
of 2000 in Florida. Despite the media's insistence that we "get over it,"
Democrats.com organized grassroots protests to "count every vote." When a
partisan 5-4 Republican majority of the Supreme Court threw out 175,000
uncounted ballots to appoint Bush, Democrats.com worked with the
Congressional Black Caucus to challenge Florida's electors in Congress - a
scene made famous at the beginning of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9-11.
Democrats.com helped organize protests at Bush's 2000 inaugural, and at
every public appearance by Bush, Cheney, and the Supreme Court Justices
who appointed them - until September 11, 2001.
After September 11, Democrats.com sought the truth about Bush's failure
to defend the country against 19 men with boxcutters. We supported the
family members who fought for a Commission to investigate those failures,
and we exposed the Commission's ultimate cover-up. And we opposed Bush's
war in Iraq, which was based on lies connecting Iraq to 9-11 - lies which
we exposed daily even as they were "reported" on the front pages of the
New York Times and Washington Post.
Throughout the first term of the Bush administration, we exposed all of
the lies they told, the crimes they committed, the policies that failed,
and the core American values they betrayed. We posted thousands of links,
making our archive a truly unique resource for these four years.
On Election Day 2004, Democrats.com unveiled a brand new web site, and
switched from a news format to an interactive blog and discussion forum.
Our .compendium archive provides a complete set of links to all of
the stories covered in Democrats.com News from 2000 to 2004, organized
into subject categories.
Please note: selecting a single category for each story is difficult,
so you may need to try more than one category. For example, the "Bush
Dictatorship" category overlaps with "Privacy/Surveillance" and "Bush
Doctrine" and "Homeland Security."
You can also search our site using the .compass search box on the left
side, where you can enter words, phrases, URL's, or any string of letters
or numbers. This will display exact matches only, so you may need to try
multiple searches to find the exact results. For example, "Al Qaeda" and
"Al-Qaida" would require separate searches. A search for "qa" would cover
both at once, although it might find other matches. The searches are case
insensitive (capital letters are ignored). For URL searches, start with
the text after "http://www."
