Info about latest MoveOn PAC ad....devastating

[AnnInLa]

Well, I guess I can scrape up a few more $$...how about yall?


Dear MoveOn member,

With 12 days to go and a dead-heat race, it's time to pull out all the stops. Luckily, we've got a secret weapon -- a final television spot that tests better and sways more swing voters than almost any advertisement we've seen.

"He Just Doesn't Get It" was created by Win Back Respect and features their Band of Sisters, a courageous group of women whose family members served or died in Iraq and who are speaking out. It seizes on outrageous footage of President Bush joking about not being able to find the WMDs in Iraq, with a slide showing him looking under tables in the Oval Office. "My brother died in Baghdad on April 29th," Brooke Campbell says in the spot. "I watched President Bush make a joke, looking around for weapons of mass destruction. My brother died looking for weapons of mass destruction."

The ad is simple, powerful, and true, and it captures in 30 seconds what's wrong with George Bush's leadership. We need to get it on the air THIS WEEKEND -- we're aiming to air it for $1 million in the swing states where it can make the biggest difference. But we can't do that without your help. Can you help us raise $1 million today to put this ad in front of voters?

In the final days before the election, President Bush and his allies are getting desperate. Dick Cheney is telling voters that electing Kerry could put major cities at risk of obliteration by a nuclear bomb. Sinclair Broadcasting Corp. tried to pre-empt prime-time programming to air a special on the allegations of the Swift Boat veterans. After claiming that 527s were illegal and "shadowy," the Bush camp has now embraced them, and a new 527 called Progress for America is running an emotionally manipulative ad featuring George Bush hugging a 9/11 family member.

When the Duelfer report was released, I mentioned right here on DU that I sincerely hoped someone would dig up this and use it as an ad. I felt it was very very powerful. WELL DONE MOVEON.

8. Trust me-- it's a great ad.

Please donate.

The "No WMD", "Over 1000 soldiers killed" and "Iraq didn't attack us on 9/11" messages are about as deep as undecided voters will get regarding Iraq. Kerry and Edwards covered the last point in the debates. Let's help MoveOn get out the first two points. Also, this ad will help remind swing voters of the facts.

Everyone, please donate.

9. I saw the "Where's Osama"ad I was waiting for today.

I hope they are running a lot in swing states and not just a token run on CNN so they can get news coverage.
