why MidHudsonNews.com repeatedly giving others credit for events I've organized?...

[if it weren't an election year and it didn't happen four times in a row I wouldn't care...but...it must be said, folks; feel free to follow up with your emails to hgross@midhudsonnews.com, news@midhudsonnews.com; I always try to give credit where credit is due, even if I have to quote Pok. Journal, Freeman, or MidHudsonNews.com; just seems the respectful thing to do...(but what's going on with Hank this year?)]

And-- thank you for covering the May 16th Rally to Ban Fracking I organized at Saland's office with Bill and Anne McCabe (and 30 other folks from all over: Connie Holland, Chris Ruhe, Burr Hubbell, et. al.)...

I appreciate as well the fact that you covered the Apr. 18th Tax Day Rally to Make Bank of America Pay Their Fair Share I organized w/65 others (MoveOn/USUncut: Barbara, Linda et. al.) in Poughkeepsie...

But why for all these is it that others were given credit for events that I organized?...(while ignoring me)...

[this year: election year; important that coverage is fair; Daily Freeman editor told me he relies on you]
