Brazil is choosing it's new President today

This Sunday, presidential elections are happening in Brazil.

There are now two choices: José Serra and Dilma Roussef. The former is the rightful successor of FHC's legacy, and the latter is President Lula's choice. Right now, Dilma is ahead, and I do believe she will be the next person in office. This is awesome because most of what Lula has been doing is great, and Brazil is currently in somewhat of a Golden Age.

Regardless of that, I must draw attention to the way media has been treating the whole presidential run. We have been flooded with spam attacking Dilma. By "we", I mean all brazilians with an email. Most news coverage tends to overtly shout against Dilma, and for Serra.

In all honesty, I don't really care so much about what a bunch of reactionary news sources are shouting. Right now, I'm really interested in what I can do to, instead of reacting to all this insanity, bring new options to the table. How to reach people so they can judge for themselves?
