Petition to stop using tax dollars for the Bush campaign

I got this email from the Kerry campaign:

Talk about greedy. It's not enough that the Bush campaign has raised over $180 million from special interests to fund his attack ads. Now, he's illegally using millions of dollars in taxpayer money to subsidize his campaign -- using government resources to do research on John Kerry, run thinly disguised campaign ads, and travel to campaign stops and fund raisers. (See below for the whole story.)

Last week, John Kerry asked you to sign his statement against Bush's "slash and borrow" economics that are mortgaging our children's future. We've decided to deliver that petition -- now more than 40,000 strong -- to George Bush and Dick Cheney tomorrow in Miami Beach, where they'll be speaking at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference.

But now we're adding this to the statement: "STOP USING OUR TAX MONEY TO FUND YOUR CAMPAIGN!"

If you've signed the petition already, please forward this email to your friends. If you haven't, sign it now by going here:

Here are some of the most outrageous ways George Bush is using our tax money to campaign for another four years in the White House:


The Bush-Cheney campaign has used government employees to conduct opposition research on John Kerry. Even a former Republican Treasury official admitted that they had "stepped over the line."

The White House directed the Health and Human Services Department to run thinly disguised campaign ads that mislead seniors about Bush's Medicare plan which funnels billions of dollars to giant pharmaceutical companies.

The Bush campaign is charging taxpayers $15 million dollars for political forays into battleground states, turning Air Force One into the Bush campaign plane. Bush has even asked for a larger travel budget for 2004, funded by the taxpayers.

The White House has billed the federal Office of Family Assistance $210,000 to help pay for five trips in which President Bush promoted welfare reform at official events and made separate fundraising appearances for GOP candidates.

" Cabinet secretaries are covering additional ground to spread good news about the Bush administration."

"'One hundred seventy million dollars would not be nearly enough for to run for re-election if he had to reimburse the full cost of traveling on Air Force One,' Federal Election Commission spokesman Bob Biersack said."

The House Resources Committee posted a diatribe against Kerry's "absurd" energy ideas on its taxpayer-funded Web site.

When they were driving companies into the ground...

Now they can do it with the government...great.
