MOVEON.ORG coming to the Democrats rescue again.
Edited on Tue Mar-02-04 04:15 PM by demdem
Friends I cannot express how important Moveon.org is to our party. These people are about to do a huge favor for the Democrats. Starting Thursday they will be running ads in 17 states that Bush is running ads in, to counter his bullshit lies his ads will spew. This will help us out bigtime, because our candidates can't afford to run ads right now. If you have any extra money you can donate, please do at the links below. No I am not part of moveon.org, but I know a gift horse when I see one.

WASHINGTON - A Democratic-leaning online group will run television commercials in 17 presidential battleground states starting Thursday to counter President Bush (news - web sites)'s multimillion-dollar advertising blitz that will begin the same day.

1. Wow!
"The television industry estimates that the average viewer in each media market would see a MoveOn spot about five times during the group's ad run."

2. Sent them a contribution
It's only enough to buy and quarter-second of airtime in a major market, but what the hell. It's something.

3. Wait until the AFL-CIO's 527 opens fire
This is small change.

4. What is more distressing is why we won't come to OUR OWN RESCUE
Damnit, being scared of anthrax attacks IS NOT ENOUGH EXCUSE!

16. MoveOn is us, & to the extent we participate...
...we ARE coming to our own rescue.

Screw the DNC -- they are not getting a dime from me, nor if I know DUers will they be getting anything from the rest of you.

MoveOn, however, has had my attention and participation since they started out as Censure and Move On. I don't do blogs and whatnot, but I do write letters from my computer at home, so MoveOn works for me. They are intelligent, gutsy, articulate, innovative, and I feel my participation counts.

I don't think they asked for money (or maybe I just missed it) until after Chimpy was selected, but in the past two years I have sent them small checks from time to time for advertising, to help out the Texas Runaway Democrats, and so forth.

So, I figure that by supporting MoveOn, I'm supporting real democracy, if not the Democratic Party.

8. That's moveon.org
Not nitpicking, but correct name is important. Yes, we do have a great organization in moveon. I have been doing their bidding for a considerable amount of time now, and never regret it.

I believe that they will be spending some of the money that George Soros donated for those ads, but more money is always needed. They do great things with it, so, those who can, send them some dough.

12. I just donated (again.)
Please work on running "WHAT ARE WE TEACHING OUR CHILDREN?" I think this is the most effective one in the arsenal because it obliterates the "family values" BS.

10. Thanks for the link.................
I've always been meaning to contribute, but I've never taken the time or forget to look for the site. Since you posted it and it was staring me right in the face, I just contributed $50.00. These people need our support, we have to counteract Bush's lies. Thanks again!! :toast:

13. The DNC should be ashamed
where the hell are they? Thank God for moveon.org. And I agree that "What Are We Teaching Our Children" was THE best ad in that contest and should be run during the campaign. Will definitely donate.
