Our 4th of July RadioThon will be broadcast from 1:00pm - 6:00pm Pacific Time (4:00pm - 9:00pm Eastern) on July 4th, and you'll be able to watch or listen to the broadcast live from anywhere in the world!
On the radio we'll be broadcasting from 720 AM in Las Vegas and the online stream can be heard from your computer. Just go to: www.KDWN.com
On Television the Telethon will be seen live in Las Vegas from Vegas TV 25 - Cable 14, and from Pahrump on KPVM TV 46.3. The video stream of the telecast can be seen online via UStream.tv at: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/july-4-defeat-obama-telethon
The Goal:
With the heavy saturation of TV and radio advertising in southern Nevada and the broadcast of the Telethon itself, we are also making a big impact in another swing state: Nevada. This means we'll be impacting 4 swing states with TV ads to Defeat Obama: Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio. These four states represent 50 Electoral Votes. And all four of those states were won by Obama in 2008. This means that this Telethon, and the TV ads that the money raised will go to, altogether could result in a 100 Electoral Vote swing!
Here's the confirmed guest list:

Our local free paper the City Pages did a lengthy article on her. She seemed like a caricature of a right wing moon bat. I have never heard such bat shit craziness before or since. She is so crazy she makes Bachmann look sane and she also makes Palin look smart. I hope it is all just one big joke to her. If it is she has some serious issues, but at least she isn't buying her own BS. If it isn't she is in need of professional help.

And these people aren't just Republican voters; they're on the extreme right wing, with, it seems, an all-consuming hatred for Obama. Has Jackie Mason a history of extremism?

(1 post)looks like the Telethon to Defeat Obama was a massive fail. Unless I see something different, they only pulled in 60K. And there is no cheers or 'we did it' coming from the sponsors. Please correct me if I'm wrong but they telethon seeded the pot with 100,000 and at the end they were up to 161K.
