Sign a petition to get President Pig* from using those 9/11 ads:
Exploitation at its most vulgar:

http://www.democrats.org/action/200403050001.html?s=demnews

President Bush has gone too far, exploiting the tragedy of September 11 for political gain by using images from the attacks in campaign ads. Sign our petition calling on the Bush/Cheney campaign to pull the ads and apologize to the Americans who lost loved ones in the terrorist attacks.

1. I really like that term, President Pig. It really fits the bill.

3. Add to this article, and...

...I'm tempted to edit the message and use the old standby, "President Apostate*".

But "Pig" is a well deserved epithet. While "Apostate" is accurate, "Pig" seems to sound more edgy. I like edgy.

2. This is a good idea, expanding the outrage beyond the "grieving widows"
Edited on Fri Mar-05-04 11:25 PM by rocknation
The press coverage has implied that it's a handful of noisy 9/11 family members who are causing all the fuss. But two thirds of more than a quarter of a million people who answered a CNN poll agreed that the imagery was inappropriate. As long as they can keep this issue focused on the families, the Bush regime can resist any pressure to pull the ads. What we need to do is turn this into the national crisis that they wanted gay marriage to be.

5. I hate everything this man does but as sorry as I am to say this, I want
this to stay an issue for a while. Well, just as I wrote that, I thought about how uncaring it is to the victims' families for this ad to continue and I changed my mind. I cannot let the evil that is President Pig change me into a pig also.
